The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Old Dominion University Research Foundation $400,000 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and evaluate a metaphor-based Socratic artificial intelligence tutoring system integrated with real-time interactive simulation for undergraduate engineering education. The project will design, implement, and evaluate an AI tutoring framework that guides students through visual simulation states using guided dialogue and instructor-supported learning activities. The system targets foundational electrical and computer engineering courses, including semiconductor physics and signals and systems, helping students transfer from intuitive visual exploration to formal mathematical reasoning. Deliverables include refinement of the learning platform, integration of metaphor-based simulations into selected courses, development of Socratic tutoring prompts, instructor-facing learning analytics, and evaluation of student learning outcomes. The project will produce reusable instructional tools adaptable across engineering and STEM education contexts. Performance occurs in Norfolk, Virginia from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029. This is a Level 1 Engaged Student Learning project classified as a Project Grant.
