Award Data

Through previous grant awards from IES, researchers developed Graspable Math, a tablet-based intervention where middle and high school students create and manipulate complex expressions for basic operations as well as equations and equations systems and inequalities. In this project, the team will develop a prototype of Graspable Math Activities, an app with novel kinds of algebra practice and ass ...

In this project, researchers will develop a prototype of Science Quest, a tool to assess the science skills and understanding for students in grades 1 to 3. The prototype will deliver psychometrically validated assessment items in a game-like format. Educators will be able to assign and monitor completion of science assessments, view assessment results in real-time with reports at the individual a ...

Advanced semiconductor devices are the beating heart of 21st Century technology.The mission critical role that these devices play demands exceptional levels of reliability.When a semiconductor device does fails, it is essential that the cause of the failure is identified as quickly as possible.Because a devices chip is encapsulated in a thermoplastic package, a significant amount of intricate mate ...

XRadIC establishes an automated software framework to non-destructively analyze cutting edge microelectronics using photon flux-limited x-ray microscope systems. XRadIC couples on-the-fly sample scanning with online optimized 2D and 3D image analysis algorithms to maximize overall system throughput by dynamically minimizing the number of viewing angles and exposure times needed to analyze a given ...
