- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. $462,206 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop the Software Engineering Tutor, a freely available teaching tool that transforms technical error messages from code-checking software into guided inquiry questions to help undergraduate students understand underlying software engineering concepts rather than simply correcting surface...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Georgia TECH Research Corp $750,000 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop, implement, and evaluate the NEAT (Next-Gen Engineering Education with AI Tutoring) framework. The project will create an AI-enhanced tutoring system that delivers accurate, adaptive feedback to students while promoting self-regulated learning and AI literacy. The framework integrates an AI tutoring tool, evidence-based instructional materials grounded in learning sciences, and instructor-facing analytics that surface actionable insights into student learning patterns. The initiative addresses limitations in existing AI educational tools by focusing on preventing inaccurate information generation, enabling adaptation to students' evolving understanding, and discouraging students from bypassing meaningful learning processes. The award is classified as a Project Grant with a performance period from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. Work is performed in Atlanta, Georgia. The project aligns with NSF's undergraduate STEM education mission and the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program goals by generating new knowledge about effective teaching and learning and preparing the nation's workforce for AI-rich professional environments. The resulting framework is intended to have applicability across engineering and other STEM disciplines.
