This National Science Foundation (NSF) EAGER: Empowering African American STEM Talent award, provided under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), is establishing an academic training model that combines practical, hands-on research experiences and structured mentoring for junior-level undergraduate students at Florida A&M University (FAMU). The $299,924 project, running from August 2024 to July 2026, engages students majoring in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology in research focused on generative artificial intelligence (AI) in semiconductor manufacturing. The goal is to deepen student engagement with cutting-edge microelectronics technologies and methodologies, while also broadening participation and developing the workforce in this critical field. Faculty mentors guide the students using a conceptual framework informed by anti-deficit achievement, social cognitive career theory, and prosocial motivation. This award supports STEM education and research initiatives aligned with Section 10318 of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.
