项目摘要

Implementation Projects provide support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to design, implement, study, and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the number of students receiving undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. The project at Virginia State University seeks to build on previous successful efforts to increase participation of African-American students in STEM disciplines. The goal of this project is to significantly improve recruitment, retention and graduation rates for STEM undergraduate students, as well as to establish a framework for developing the skills and attributes needed for a successful career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The project will utilize evidence-based, high-impact pedagogical practices to improve student learning and outcomes. Activities include: the Summer Engineering Institute to help high school students transition to college, a job shadowing program, undergraduate research experiences, student participation in local and national conferences, the establishment of an Advanced Digital Manufacturing System Lab, and study abroad experiences. The project will identify the competencies that local industries desire STEM students to have upon graduation and study the factors that influence persistence in STEM undergraduate students at the university. The project will be advised and evaluated for effectiveness by internal and external advisory boards and an evaluator.

实施项目为历史上的黑人学院（HBCUS）提供了支持，以设计，实施，研究和评估全面的机构努力，以增加获得科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的本科学位的学生数量，并通过增强STEM教育和研究来提高他们的准备质量。弗吉尼亚州立大学的项目旨在基于以前的成功努力，以增加非裔美国学生在STEM学科中的参与。该项目的目的是显着提高STEM本科生的招聘，保留率和毕业率，并建立一个框架，以开发成功在科学，技术，工程和数学领域成功职业生涯所需的技能和属性。该项目将利用基于证据的高影响力教学实践来改善学生的学习和成果。活动包括：夏季工程研究所，旨在帮助高中生过渡到大学，招聘计划，本科研究经验，学生参加本地和民族会议，建立高级数字制造系统实验室以及出国留学经验。该项目将确定当地行业希望STEM学生在毕业后拥有的能力，并研究影响大学STEM本科生持续存在的因素。该项目将由内部和外部咨询委员会和评估员提出建议和评估。
