This Project Grant award of $453,885 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is funding a three-year Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Idaho focused on autonomous unmanned vehicles (AUVs). The REU program will provide 10 undergraduate students per year with a 10-week hands-on experience to acquire foundational knowledge in areas like automatic control, sensors, artificial intelligence, and robotic swarm technologies. Students will build, code, and deploy open-source drones, and complete team projects using AUV platforms to explore real-world applications and career options across disciplines like agricultural, civil, environmental, mechanical, and electrical engineering. The program aims to investigate how undergraduate students build self-efficacy and shape their perceptions toward emerging AUV technologies through this multidisciplinary, experiential learning opportunity.
