The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded Kennesaw State University Research and Service Foundation $198,486 on January 1, 2027, under the Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) program (CFDA 47.041) to investigate how adaptive instructional support helps learners maintain attention and improve motor skill development during immersive virtual laboratory training in STEM education. The project will develop a closed-loop framework that continuously estimates learners' attentional states using multi-modal behavioral and physiological measures—including eye-gaze behavior, pupil dynamics, galvanic skin response, electromyography, and task performance. An empathic virtual instructor, presented either as a virtual human or voice-only agent, will dynamically adapt interventions based on individualized attention models to enhance learning effectiveness and reduce attentional lapses during precise manual tasks in virtual laboratories. Performance occurs at Kennesaw, Georgia, with a period of performance from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2028. The resulting knowledge is intended to inform the design of intelligent learning technologies that strengthen STEM education, broaden access to high-quality laboratory experiences, and contribute to preparation of a highly skilled workforce by enabling students to safely practice hands-on procedures that may be hazardous, expensive, or difficult to conduct in traditional laboratory settings.
