The Engineering Education and AI-Augmented Learning Interdisciplinary Research Theme recently began a new round of seed grant funding opportunities that are open through Jan. 7, 2022. Funding is available for research grants, proposal writing support and travel. Submissions will be completed through email and application details are available online. Interdisciplinary Research Themes in the college are made up of faculty, staff and students. They help researchers coordinate faculty hires, share facilities and use seed funding to leverage work that could provide transformational societal impact. The EER-AIL IRT theme includes research into engineering and computing education and assessment, as well as artificial intelligence/machine learning and the convergence between those areas. One key goal is to develop the theories, technologies, and know-how for advancing student-centered learning and creating next-generation learning environments in K-16, graduate, and professional engineering and computing education. Contact IRT Directors Alessandro Roncone and Angela Bielefeldt by email for more information.
