- This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the development of gamified learning modules focused on computing hardware fundamentals. The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., in collaboration with the University of Florida, will design engaging and collaborative games targeting key hardware concepts. Each module will introduce and exercise one fundamental principle through hands-on experimentation. Collectively, the...
- This $174,332 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports research on fundamental error-correcting codes. The project, led by the President and Board of Trustees of Santa Clara College, will study the limits of codes that can correct insertion and deletion errors, investigate list-decodable codes, and analyze how physical constraints impact quantum error-correcting codes. The...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Oregon State University $222,112 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to conduct a multisite comparison of embedding socially responsible design across the undergraduate computer science curriculum. The project integrates socially responsible design (SRD) practices into four-year computer science curricula at four universities across Colorado, New Jersey, Oregon, and Virginia—spanning...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,947,801 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the President and Board of Trustees of Santa Clara College. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: TRI-ALLIANCE FOR POST-AWARD INNOVATION," aims to transform post-award activities at emerging research institutions (ERIs) to reduce administrative burden, better support faculty in their research, and increase grant activity. The project, which runs from...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Arizona State University $395,630 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and validate an open-source, artificial-intelligence-powered platform that generates custom illustrative figures during live engineering instruction. The platform automates a five-step workflow: transcribing spoken student questions on the instructor's computer, analyzing the concept using large language...
- This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop a course that teaches computer science students how to work with and comprehend large code bases. The project, awarded to the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego), is designed to address the "academia-industry gap" where new computer science graduates are often underprepared for contributing to large, existing software code bases in...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the President and Board of Trustees of Santa Clara College $199,933 on November 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to redesign undergraduate computer architecture education through learner-centered teaching approaches. The project develops, implements, and studies instructional modules that introduce workload-driven instruction set architecture and domain-specific architecture design as core learning experiences in undergraduate computer architecture courses. The curriculum redesign combines preparation before class, guided inquiry, and collaborative design studios to help students move from learning existing computer designs to developing the reasoning, problem-solving, and teamwork skills needed to create new computing designs. The modules connect hardware design to real-world software workloads essential to applications including artificial intelligence and quantum cryptography. The work is performed at Santa Clara, California over a three-year period from November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2029. The project is a cross-institutional collaborative research effort that adapts and tests modules across earlier and advanced computer architecture courses at a quarter-based private university and a semester-based public university. The award aims to produce adaptable course materials and evidence-based teaching practices that help undergraduate students engage more deeply with computer architecture and prepare for emerging STEM careers.
