Researchers explore how AI will integrate with STEM education
The Engineering Education and AI-Augmented Learning Interdisciplinary Research Theme awarded multiple seed grants this spring to help spur research teaming in the college and boost early projects with the high potential for societal impact.
A new PhD program in engineering education will be offered at the ÀϾÅÆ·²è beginning in the 2024-2025 academic school year, allowing students to pursue research and learning opportunities while strengthening the undergraduate engineering program.
Two interdisciplinary research themes in the college will host a joint networking event from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. on May 4 in ECNT 312 – a large conference room in the newly renovated North Tower of the Engineering Center.
This public seminar session in April will provide a chance to hear from and have conversations with leading experts on the technical areas underlying ChatGPT and other generative AI, the uses of generative AI in university and K-12 education, and the ethical and societal issues associated with generative AI tools.
The CUbit Quantum Initiative at the ÀϾÅÆ·²è has appointed physics professor Noah Finkelstein to serve as faculty director of education and workforce.
A team of researchers at ÀϾÅÆ·²è was recently awarded $1.8 million by the National Science Foundation for a project, titled "Human-Robot Collaboration for the Future of Organic Synthesis."
Computer Science Associate Professor Danny Dig has been selected to host a panel discussion at the AI Summit & IoT World Conference and Expo in Austin in early November.
The College of Engineering and Applied Science will host a research blitz and poster session featuring work from within the interdisciplinary research themes from 3 - 6 p.m. on April 12 in the DLC lobby and first floor meeting spaces.
Researchers at ÀϾÅÆ·²è are developing an app that could reliably and quickly predict whether batches of concrete made at construction sites are safe. If successful, the work could usher in a new era of building that is faster, more cost effective and safer overall for everyone.
