- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Education Development Center, Inc. $999,915 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop instructional resources that integrate artificial intelligence skills into community and technical college technician education programs in advanced manufacturing and energy sectors. The project, performed in Waltham, Massachusetts, through September 30, 2029, builds on a partnership among Education...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded North Carolina State University $1,594,160 on August 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to advance data-driven technologies and artificial intelligence integration for problem-solving in STEM learning environments. The project develops a framework for personalized instruction across three foundational STEM domains—logic, probability, and programming—using data-driven and AI-supported technologies....
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 models, composing an optimized image-generation prompt, producing the figure with an open diffusion model fine-tuned on educational illustration datasets, and performing an automated accuracy check requiring instructor approval before display to students. The tool targets the cognitive overload associated with engineering attrition by making visual explanation affordable and accessible at teaching-focused institutions and community colleges that lack instructional-design support. Development, refinement, and classroom validation will span multiple engineering disciplines at a single research university. Performance occurs in Scottsdale, Arizona from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029. The award is a project grant under the Engaged Student Learning initiative.
