The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. $335,465 under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) on October 1, 2026, for a Mid-Career Advancement project developing AI-supported learning and assessment methods to help engineering students connect equations to physical reality. The project addresses a documented challenge in engineering education: students often construct equations that structurally resemble valid formulas but lack understanding of their physical meaning, treating equations as computational templates rather than mathematical descriptions of physical behavior. The recipient will develop instructional tools and assessment approaches that make students' reasoning during equation setup visible and teachable, focusing on the problem-formulation stage before computation where students must decide whether equations apply to a given physical system. The project leverages AI to reveal students' equation reasoning rather than automate calculation, distinguishing it from conventional pedagogical approaches. Expected outcomes include improved student preparation for conceptual reasoning about equations, reusable instructional tools for engineering instructors, and practical guidance for supporting conceptual understanding in an AI-augmented educational environment. Performance occurs in Daytona Beach, Florida through September 30, 2029.
