Professor Mary Requa awarded prestigious 3-year NSF Grant!

Dr. Mary Requa has been awarded a National Science Foundation grant as a co- PI with her two colleagues entitled, Supporting Neurodiverse Students in Engineering Teamwork through an AI- Driven Platform. This is a three year grant worth $399,979.

Mary Requa will provide collaborative work for the opportunity to support neurodiverse students in the School of Engineering here at SF State. Below is a brief description of the project: 

"This project uses a two-pronged approach to ameliorate the social-emotional and sensory challenges for neurodiverse students participating in classroom teamwork. First, we plan to develop a prototype of an AI-driven teamwork platform for coaching students’ executive function and self-regulation and assess its impacts on students. Second, we will investigate its feasibility to assist instructors providing neurodiverse-focused mentorship while building a community of practice. The study will be implemented among the social-economically diverse student population in the School of Engineering at SFSU."
