Tennessee Technological University received a $174,662 Project Grant award, effective July 15, 2026, through the National Science Foundation's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). The ACAI-TRAIN project delivers instructor training and curriculum development materials designed to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and advanced cyberinfrastructure concepts into foundational computing courses. The deliverables include three intensive in-person summer workshops, six hybrid conference tutorials, and complementary online resources to train approximately 200 current and future instructors. The project provides classroom-tested exemplars, adaptable teaching materials, and implementation guidance to enable instructors to confidently incorporate AI and parallel/distributed computing topics into introductory programming and computer systems courses. The project extends its impact through a train-the-trainer model wherein summer workshop participants implement and adapt course materials at their home institutions, generating evaluation data and refinements that support broader adoption across the higher education landscape. With a projected reach of approximately 250,000 students over 5-10 years, the initiative addresses a critical workforce development need by ensuring that all computing majors—not only those in advanced electives—develop essential skills for the modern computational ecosystem. The award extends through June 30, 2030, and advances the NSF's mission to strengthen computing education and expand access to advanced cyberinfrastructure and AI competencies.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
