- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $669,916 and issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to improve conceptual understanding of "invisible physics" concepts through the development of evidence-based practices for using virtual reality (VR) in undergraduate engineering education. The primary objectives are to: (a) advance scientific models of human learning in VR environments, (b) provide reliable evidence on the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the development of immersive virtual reality (VR) laboratory environments that feature high-fidelity interactive avatars and tactile feedback. The goal is to enable collaborative learning in online STEM education that replicates the hands-on, embodied experiences of physical laboratories. Specifically, the $300,000 project will investigate how VR labs enhanced with realistic...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to develop an innovative "VirtualAI-Story" tool that integrates virtual reality (VR) and large language models (LLMs) to provide personalized, situated learning through adaptive storytelling. The $399,995 award to the University of Florida will be used to create this VR-based learning environment focused on construction engineering education, with the goal of...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) is for a collaborative research initiative to integrate spatial computing technologies into elementary environmental science instruction. The $426,924 project, awarded on September 15, 2025, aims to enhance an existing "Shared Waters" curriculum and foster elementary students' understanding of local watershed ecosystems in low-income communities in West Virginia and Delaware....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Juniata College a $138,607 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop virtual reality training for geo-spatial reasoning skills. The two-year award running from October 2021 to September 2023 will support using virtual reality to train students' ability to understand relationships between objects in space. As part of its mission to ensure the vitality of the nation's STEM education, the NSF...
- This $160,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of an immersive virtual reality-based learning environment at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University to advance construction robotics education. Funded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the three-year project aims to investigate how such an environment can cultivate students' experiential skills for safely interacting with robots in the construction industry. Specifically,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $200,000 to West Virginia University Research Corporation to investigate the influence of student support services on engineering identity development among undergraduate civil engineering students. The research aims to evaluate how changes in support services during the transition from a general engineering program to a specific civil engineering major impact students' perceptions of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support the integration of virtual reality technology to enhance self-directed learning for civil engineering students at West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC). The $349,999 award, spanning January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028, will allow the principal investigator to develop foundational skills and gain practical experience in designing and implementing STEM education research using innovative methods and tools. The project aims to reinforce professional responsibility in engineering education by aligning with ABET student outcomes. The work will be conducted at WVURC, a non-profit research organization and subsidiary of West Virginia University.
