Research Projects Collaborative: AI Learning, Preparedness, Readiness, and Solutions
AI is rapidly disrupting and transforming education and the workforce, leaving higher education struggling to stay relevant as students face economic uncertainty, mental health challenges, and a mismatch between academic preparation and real-world demands. This session brings together faculty from Duquesne University, Penn State University, Robert Morris University, Pennsylvania West University, Pennsylvania College of Technology, Community College of Beaver County, and The University of Pittsburgh to share transdisciplinary strategies for reimagining higher education through experiential, strengths-based learning ecosystems, integrating AI tools, adaptive coaching, and feedback-driven models. Highlighting the RAISE-PA initiative, it also explores building regional AI literacy frameworks to bridge skill gaps and ensure graduates are prepared for critical thinking, leadership, and collaboration in an algorithmic future.
