This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $183,000 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to establish an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site focused on the Translational Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Engineering (REU-TRACE). Over a 3-year period, the REU-TRACE program will engage 10 undergraduate students per year in a 10-week intensive summer research experience. Students will work on multidisciplinary teams investigating the application of AI principles, techniques, and technology to problems in areas such as advanced manufacturing, smart infrastructure, biology, and sustainable agriculture. Key components of the program include mentored research projects, cohort-based activities, communication skill development, and professional development workshops. The program aims to create pathways for students from traditionally underrepresented populations to gain hands-on experience in translating AI advancements to real-world engineering challenges.
