This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to integrate the study of software performance throughout the computer science (CS) curriculum. The project, titled "Integrating Software Performance Analysis into CS Education," will develop an education-centric software platform called "EduPerf" to help students and instructors assess software performance and write efficient code.

The total funding for this award is $199,996, with a project period from October 15, 2024 to September 30, 2027. The project will be carried out by North Carolina State University, a prominent 1862 Land Grant institution, to cultivate a cohort of software engineers skilled in performance analysis. The team plans to develop interventions and novel measurement-based techniques to enable effective assessment of student learning outcomes, which will be disseminated at major CS education conferences. The project aims to benefit the technology, automotive, and research industries nationwide by advancing the understanding and practice of software performance.
