This project grant, awarded July 1, 2026, by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) provides $100,000 in federal funding through June 30, 2029, to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-supported mentoring program designed to improve retention of student veterans and service members (SVSMs) in engineering education. The University of Texas at Arlington will design and deploy a culturally congruent AI mentor that reflects the lived experiences, values, and communication styles of military veterans, leveraging natural language processing and related AI techniques to provide tailored academic assistance. This mentoring tool will address the transition challenges SVSMs face when moving from the structured, hierarchical military environment to the self-directed academic settings typical of engineering programs. The deliverables include a replicable model for improving engineering student retention through culturally congruent AI-supported academic assistance, enhanced awareness of military culture within higher education institutions, and new knowledge on the effectiveness of culturally tailored mentoring interventions. By strengthening pathways for a highly trained veteran population into the engineering workforce, the project directly supports NSF's mission to advance national prosperity and economic strength while contributing to a more skilled domestic engineering workforce capable of addressing critical national challenges.
