This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to expand access to hands-on learning in computer science and engineering at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus. The $185,175 project, awarded on October 1, 2025, will integrate embedded computing devices like Raspberry Pis and Sunfounder IoT Kits into core undergraduate courses. This will allow students to explore computing systems through real-world applications and develop practical skills in areas such as systems programming, machine learning, and computer architecture. The project will introduce these tools across foundational courses, provide faculty training, and assess learning outcomes to evaluate the impact. The results will be disseminated to support adoption by other institutions, serving as a model for modernizing computing education and better preparing STEM students for the workforce.
