Hua Cai, associate professor of industrial engineering (joint appointment with Environmental & Ecological Engineering), along with visiting assistant professor Erhan Karakaya, were recently honored with an Innovation Grant Award for their project aimed at providing students with more customized examples and feedback through the use of AI. 

The project uses Gradescope data to predict causes of incorrect answers and provide feedback accordingly. In addition to this, a website interface will be developed to gather student submission information as well as feedback in order to continuously improve this tool. The tool is being tested during the fall semester in the hopes that it can be scaled for use in other areas.
