AI-Based Support System for First-Year CEGEP Students (2023–2025)

 

Grant Provider: PIA/Pôle montréalais d’enseignement supérieur en intelligence artificielle

 

Project Overview:

Professor Neerusha Baurhoo Gokool leads this cutting-edge research initiative aimed at creating an AI-based support system designed to facilitate the academic transition and retention of first-year students in CEGEP science and social science programs in math. The project seeks to address common challenges faced by students during this critical phase by leveraging AI technology to provide personalized support and improve academic outcomes. By focusing on early identification of academic struggles and offering tailored interventions, this project is paving the way for innovative solutions in higher education retention strategies in math, which is a gate-keeper to various university programs.

Amount : $80,000

My fieldwork includes a slew of hydrologic (hydraulic head, precipitation, air temperature, solar radiation, snow disappearance date, ect.), biogeochemical (porewater chemistry, carbon flux, plant metrics etc.), and spatial (surface topography, depth to permafrost, kinematic GPS surveys, ect.) data. These data are paired with soil temperature data from the surface into permafrost. I have two sites in Alaska. The first site, located in Interior Alaska, will allow for measurements under current sub-arctic climate conditions, while the second site, located on the warmer and wetter Kenai Peninsula, will allow for measurements under projected future sub-arctic climate conditions. The fieldwork portion of the study will last three years, with one season already completed.z
