The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded North Carolina State University $1,594,160 on August 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to advance data-driven technologies and artificial intelligence integration for problem-solving in STEM learning environments. The project develops a framework for personalized instruction across three foundational STEM domains—logic, probability, and programming—using data-driven and AI-supported technologies. Deliverables include new approaches for generating personalized instructional interventions, mixed-initiative pedagogical policies, and interpretable explanatory support designed to optimize problem-solving, promote critical thinking, and foster trust between humans and artificial intelligence in educational settings. The work emphasizes research-based techniques for active, constructive, and interactive engagement, translating learning science discoveries into scalable, low-cost instructional solutions accessible to broad student populations. Performance occurs in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031. The project is classified as a Level 3 Engaging Student Learning initiative and aims to directly support NSF's mission by advancing understanding of human learning and artificial intelligence while developing the STEM workforce through enhanced problem-solving capabilities.
