The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Pensacola State College $445,576 under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) on October 1, 2025, to develop and deliver curriculum in creative design thinking and robotic manufacturing of precision systems. The project will create an integrated educational pathway consisting of two-semester course offerings followed by an enhanced internship course designed to meet regional employer demand for technicians with advanced manufacturing and design skills. The curriculum will enable students to design, troubleshoot, and prototype precision instruments while acquiring hands-on competencies in disassembly, assembly, troubleshooting, and repair of microsystems using robotics, augmented reality, machine learning, and microelectronics technologies. The award, which extends through September 30, 2028, supports the NSF Advanced Technological Education Program's mission to prepare technicians for advanced-technology fields critical to the nation's economy. No sub-awards are planned for this grant. The curriculum modules and instructional resources developed will combine design thinking pedagogy with practical manufacturing skills to address identified gaps in the regional workforce and align with the growing "making things" movement in advanced electronics and mechanical systems manufacturing.
