The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded the University of Florida $249,000 on August 15, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to investigate technostress in undergraduate engineering students using AI-mediated laboratory instruction. The project addresses how students experience and manage stress when learning in AI-supported engineering lab environments where they must interpret automated feedback, navigate complex technological interfaces, and make rapid decisions within AI-influenced learning systems. The work will employ exploratory methods to establish foundational evidence on how technostress emerges during AI-supported learning and how educators can mitigate it, with the goal of helping students maintain adaptive learning behaviors and well-being while developing proficiency in technology-rich settings. Performance runs through July 31, 2028, with work conducted at Gainesville, Florida. This is a collaborative research project classified as a Project Grant under the EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) mechanism, designed to investigate an emerging phenomenon with limited existing research foundation in engineering education.
