- This $162,814 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development of conceptual models to improve student learning outcomes in computer science theory courses at the University of Rochester from July 2022 through June 2025. The award aims to study the impact of teaching students to create their own conceptual models of theoretical computing concepts. Researchers will analyze qualitative and quantitative data from student surveys,...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $500,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). The grant supports a collaborative effort between the University of Chicago, University of Illinois, and the University of Utah to transform online computer science theory education. The project aims to develop innovative online exercises and tools that provide more equitable and inclusive learning experiences,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and validate a versatile, multi-contextual, and multi-language assessment tool to evaluate student knowledge of core computing concepts. The $143,278 award to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte will enhance the existing Second Computer Science 1 (SCS1) assessment, creating the new SCS1++ assessment. Key project objectives include: Constructing validity arguments for...
- This $2,500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund the "Creating Pathways to Computing Careers through Experiential and Engaged Learning" project at California State University - San Bernardino. Over 5 years, the project will provide 150 scholarships to support 30 high-achieving, low-income students annually pursuing computing degrees. The project aims to increase retention and graduation of these students,...
- This Project Grant award of $332,468 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) is designed to create classroom activities, tools, and an online library to guide students in developing more robust and personalized analogies to learn computing concepts. The project aims to address challenges in decomposing abstract computing concepts and mapping them to students' personal experiences, with the goal of improving comprehension, confidence, and persistence for...
This $146,426 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education), aims to develop and test a structured process that will help liberal arts institutions review and revise their undergraduate computer science (CS) curricula. The project's objective is to enable CS departments at liberal arts colleges to update their programs to address evolving student needs, align with international CS curriculum guidelines, and contribute to building a diverse computing workforce. The funded work includes deploying, evaluating, and refining a "backward design" approach that guides faculty in designing mission-aligned, adaptive CS programs. This level 1 institutional and community transformation project is being carried out by Siena College, a private non-profit liberal arts institution, from October 2025 through September 2028.
