- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Northeastern University $100,000 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to organize and deliver a workshop on integrating quantum computing and trustworthy artificial intelligence into undergraduate engineering education. The workshop will be co-located with the ACM Trust Conference in March 2027 at George Mason University's Arlington, Virginia campus. The event will convene engineering...
The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded Louisiana State University $364,998 on August 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program to develop an explainable AI-based learning environment for quantum computing instruction. The project will build an adaptive learning platform that generates tailored practice materials, provides fine-grained feedback as students study quantum concepts and write quantum programs, and renders its instructional strategies transparent to instructors. The environment addresses a critical pedagogical challenge: quantum computing requires students to reorganize established knowledge of classical computing, mathematics, and physics that often conflicts with quantum system behavior, distinguishing it from typical STEM subjects where instruction aims to replace misconceptions. The platform will be piloted in quantum computing courses serving approximately 120 students, offering personalized learning while giving instructors and teaching assistants visibility into strategies that most effectively support conceptual reorganization. Upon completion, the environment will be released openly for adoption by institutions with limited quantum expertise. Work is performed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a period of performance from August 15, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
