The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Purdue University $399,985 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop design principles and instructional materials for incorporating generative AI to improve problem-solving skills in large-enrollment undergraduate STEM courses. The project will design and test an empirically grounded approach to using generative AI for problem-posing as a strategy for improving transfer of learning in a calculus-based mechanics course for future engineers and scientists. Work includes investigating conditions under which improved student learning occurs when students use generative AI to generate, critique, and refine practice problems, and developing a model for professional development of educators to prepare students in responsible use of generative AI. The project will create a scalable suite of materials that can be adapted and integrated into undergraduate STEM courses. Performance takes place in West Lafayette, Indiana, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The award is classified as a Project Grant, an assistance type.
