The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Arizona State University $199,998 on November 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to redesign undergraduate computer architecture learning experiences using learner-centered teaching methods. The project develops and tests instructional modules that introduce workload-driven instruction set architecture and domain-specific architecture design as core learning experiences in undergraduate computer architecture courses. The modules combine pre-class preparation, guided inquiry, and collaborative design studios to help students move from learning existing computer designs to developing the reasoning, problem-solving, and teamwork skills required to create new computing designs. The scope spans a three-year cross-institutional effort adapting and testing modules across introductory and advanced computer architecture courses at a quarter-based private university and a semester-based public university. Performance occurs in Scottsdale, Arizona, with a period of performance from November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2029. The project is classified as a Project Grant, an engaged student learning initiative designed to produce adaptable course materials and evidence-based teaching practices that prepare undergraduate students for emerging STEM careers in specialized computing hardware for artificial intelligence, data analytics, gaming, and cybersecurity applications.
