The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Mississippi State University $1,722,506 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and evaluate experiential learning communities that strengthen the advanced manufacturing workforce. The project engages technicians and engineers from two-year and four-year institutions in hands-on training with state-of-the-art equipment including collaborative robotics, autonomous mobile robots, laser marking systems, and additive manufacturing. Mississippi State will develop and rigorously assess integrated learning communities that combine cross-cohort collaboration, professional skill development, and technical expertise, with investigation of peer-learning mechanisms and cross-cohort mentoring as scalable integration strategies. The work partners with Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and leverages the broader Advanced Manufacturing Upskilling Program (AIM UP) network. Evaluation employs mixed-methods assessment including pre/post technical knowledge measures, practical skills evaluation, professional development tracking, and longitudinal career outcome monitoring, with findings disseminated through peer-reviewed publication. Performance occurs at Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031. This is classified as a Project Grant, an assistance type funding specific research or educational projects rather than ongoing program operations or formula distribution.
