- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) grant award for $749,861 aims to develop effective curricular materials and an integrated learning platform to overcome programming barriers and increase data science education for non-computing students. The 3-year project, led by the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in collaboration with Howard University and Bryn Mawr College, will: (1) create an integrated teaching and learning platform; (2) develop course modules...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Michigan Technological University $749,672 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and study a curriculum in data visualization and data-based narrative design. The project will design a course on data visualization for students from varied backgrounds, including data science and other majors, with minimal coding requirements. The curriculum integrates communication, visual design, and human-centered approaches alongside programming skills and visualization tools. Michigan Tech will make curricular materials and research instruments available for adoption by other educators. The project will investigate the impact of this interdisciplinary approach on student attitudes, perceptions, and mental models through pre- and post-surveys, semi-structured interviews, and examination of course artifacts. Research will focus on changes in student understanding of human-centered design and programming applications in data visualization. The award supports an Engaged Student Learning track project, which develops promising practices in STEM education for all students. Performance runs through September 30, 2029, at Houghton, Michigan.
