NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 6 -- Old Dominion University issued the following news release:
A simulated stretchable surface could give engineering students a way to see what an equation means - not just how to solve it.
At Old Dominion University, researchers are developing an artificial intelligence (AI) tutoring system that combines interactive simulations and guided questions to help students understand difficult engineering concepts - not simply memorize formulas.
The system, called MAESTRA (Metaphor-based AI-powered Engineering Socratic Tutoring for Reasoning and Advanced Synthesis), is being developed by Gon Namkoong, Ph.D., and Jiang Li, Ph.D., professors in the department of electrical and computer engineering. The project is supported by...
