The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded George Washington University $128,000 on October 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop curricular materials for an innovative undergraduate course titled Continuous Structures, designed to equip computer science majors with foundational skills in calculus, probability, and statistics needed for advanced work in artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, simulation, and robotics. The project, structured as a collaborative effort among George Washington University, Regis University, and Rochester Institute of Technology, will create self-contained course units across multiple application domains that leverage students' prior programming experience to improve learning outcomes and demonstrate the relevance of continuous mathematics in modern computing. The course title deliberately mirrors Discrete Structures, an established mathematics preparation course in computer science curricula, to underscore the equal importance of continuous structures for U.S. competitiveness in the AI-based computing environment. The resulting educational materials are intended to be adoptable by a wide range of U.S. colleges and universities. Performance runs through September 30, 2029, with place of performance in Washington, DC.
