- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support the integration of virtual reality technology to enhance self-directed learning for civil engineering students at West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC). The $349,999 award, spanning January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028, will allow the principal investigator to develop foundational skills and gain practical experience in designing and implementing STEM education...
- This $241,414 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop an augmented reality (AR) learning environment integrated with a large language model (LLM)-powered pedagogical agent to guide middle school students' modeling practice in science. The key objectives are to: 1) build AR simulations for modeling tasks, 2) develop an on-device LLM to assess diagrammatic models, and 3) investigate student modeling practice within the...
- This $348,706 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and implement a curricular program for middle-school students in community-based settings. The program will focus on building data visualization skills to help students become critical consumers and interpreters of data. The research goals are to provide empirical evidence of middle school students building data visualization practices through learning technologies and to...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Villanova University under the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (STEM Education) program (CFDA 47.076) to enhance the augmented reality sandbox simulation tool and evaluate its effectiveness in supporting student learning outcomes. The grant period runs from February 15, 2022 through January 31, 2025. Under the award, Villanova University will extend the AR sandbox's existing GPU-based water flow...
- This $190,000 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, will develop a systematic lab-based curriculum and open-watermark-platform to train the next generation workforce on watermarking techniques for detecting AI-generated content. The objective is to bridge the education gap on the theoretical foundations, technical implementations, and practical applications of these watermarking techniques, which are crucial...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) is for a collaborative research initiative to integrate spatial computing technologies into elementary environmental science instruction. The $426,924 project, awarded on September 15, 2025, aims to enhance an existing "Shared Waters" curriculum and foster elementary students' understanding of local watershed ecosystems in low-income communities in West Virginia and Delaware. The initiative will provide students and teachers with innovative, interactive tools like augmented reality, mixed reality, simulations, and computer modeling to empower students as environmental stewards and engage them in environmental STEM (E-STEM) careers. The project will investigate the impact of these spatial computing technologies on student learning outcomes, engagement, and interest in E-STEM fields through a quasi-experimental design. Key planned deliverables include an updated Shared Waters curriculum, professional development modules for teachers, and web-based dissemination of curriculum resources. The lead awardee is Millersville University of Pennsylvania, a public educational institution, with the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education as the parent organization.
