- The University of Illinois was awarded a $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA #47.076). The three-year project aims to help improve and scale introductory programming courses through automated code-reading exercises. As part of its work under the grant, the University will develop automated assessment tools to provide students with feedback on...
- This three-year, $349,987 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the University of Houston to understand and mitigate the impacts of code intelligence systems in introductory programming courses. The university will develop infrastructure for students to use intelligent code generation tools in a web development environment. It will then conduct pilot experiments examining effects on student tinkering behaviors and self-efficacy. An...
- This $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) aims to redesign an introductory computer science (CS1) course to teach programming with the aid of large language model (LLM) AI assistants. The key goals are to: 1) Redesign the CS1 course to emphasize skills like code reading, testing, and problem decomposition rather than just syntax and writing code from scratch; 2) Study how...
- This $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports the development of automated methods to reward students for following a good programming process when writing computer programs. The project at the Regents of the University of California at Riverside aims to create Python scripts that can automatically award points to students based on their demonstrated behaviors, such as starting early, spending sufficient time, writing...
- This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to enhance learning and motivation in introductory programming courses at Georgia Gwinnett College, a Hispanic-serving institution. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating research-supported pedagogies and automated tools to accommodate diverse learning styles, including hiring and mentoring a diverse group of peer tutors and producing a video library to...
- This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop a course that teaches computer science students how to work with and comprehend large code bases. The project, awarded to the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego), is designed to address the "academia-industry gap" where new computer science graduates are often underprepared for contributing to large, existing software code bases in...
- The University of Illinois was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to conduct the project "ENHANCING EQUITY AND ACCESS VIA DIGITALLY-MEDIATED COLLABORATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES" from October 15, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The STEM Education program aims to ensure the vitality of the nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics education...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $399,476 to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) to redesign foundational mathematics coursework. The project aims to integrate programming, data analytics, and peer-led team learning strategies, enhancing student engagement and STEM workforce preparation. Key products include: Revised mathematics curriculum with hands-on coding, data analysis, and structured peer...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) totaling $149,146 supports research at Smith College to improve computer science education outcomes. The project aims to develop and test a two-stage exam process for introductory computer programming courses. The first stage utilizes an improved multiple-choice exam requiring students to justify answers to identify knowledge gaps. Students with significant gaps proceed to a follow-up interview....
- This $1.5 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support Northeastern Illinois University's efforts to increase degree completion in computer science among low-income transfer students. Over the six-year period from January 2022 to December 2027, the university will provide scholarships of $2,000 each year to 45 community college transfer students pursuing bachelor's degrees in computer science. The project aims to incorporate...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $999,263 to the University of Illinois Chicago to strengthen student learning and success in core programming courses. The project will revamp four core programming courses to better align content, student supports, and teaching practices, and also develop an "Igniting Minds" program to boost academic outcomes for students with less prior programming experience. The project aims to: (1) engage the growing pool of computing talent, (2) drive positive change in the programming core sequence, and (3) improve retention and success for all students. Project research will investigate the impact on student satisfaction, success, engagement, and collaboration. An independent evaluator will assess progress towards the stated goals.
