The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the University of Cincinnati $749,995 on October 1, 2026, through the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and implement GenAI for All Engineers (GenEng), a multidisciplinary curriculum initiative infusing generative artificial intelligence education into undergraduate engineering courses. The project will develop customized GenAI curriculum modules spanning aerospace, biomedical, chemical and environmental, computer science, electrical and computer, and mechanical and materials engineering departments. The University of Cincinnati will establish a dedicated Machine Learning for All Engineers Research and Education (MLE-RE) laboratory to support hands-on learning and collaborative research on machine learning and generative AI. The initiative targets undergraduate engineering students across multiple disciplines, equipping them with GenAI literacy and competency to apply these technologies in their respective engineering fields. Period of performance runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. Work is performed in Cincinnati, Ohio. The award is classified as a Project Grant and structured under the Engaged Student Learning Level 2 category. By broadening access to generative AI education beyond computational sciences and mathematics, the project aims to prepare a diverse, multidisciplinary engineering workforce for AI-powered STEM careers and increase student engagement in engineering pathways.
