The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the University of Florida $283,753 on September 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to examine how community and technical college students navigate transitions into four-year engineering technology programs and the workforce, particularly as employers adopt artificial intelligence, advanced data systems, and rapidly changing production technologies. The project, spanning September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031, and performed in Gainesville, Florida, will investigate student responses to academic, professional, financial, and personal demands during these transitions; identify barriers students encounter; and determine what educational and workforce support promotes continuation and success. The work integrates research, education, mentoring, and partnership development aligned with the NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program and advances the mission of the Division of Engineering Education and Centers by generating evidence about student learning, adjustment, persistence, and progression in engineering technology education. Co-funding from NSF's Advanced Technological Education Program reflects the project's direct relevance to community and technical colleges and preparation of the skilled technical workforce needed in advanced manufacturing, semiconductor technology, and automation. The project will produce evidence, practical resources, and sustained partnerships for use by colleges, workforce organizations, and employers.
