The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program provides support to design, implement, study and assess efforts to increase the numbers of students and the quality of their preparation by strengthening science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and research. This project at Howard University provides a strategic approach to infuse courses and research with interactive, human-centered computing elements to engage and excite students about computer science with the goal to increase the number of computer science graduates. Undergraduate students are involved in this project as researchers. This one-year pilot project seeks to redesign the Introduction to Game Design course and Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction course in the computer science undergraduate curriculum with learning modules in mixed reality, including virtual reality and augmented reality; along with user experience design and fundamentals of human-computer interaction. These courses will give students exposure to interactive computing elements using active, project-based learning. The project will study the efficacy of this intervention using qualitative and quantitative measures. The project will be guided by formative and summative evaluation.This project is co-funded by the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems in the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 - 本科课程通过加强科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教育和研究，为增加学生人数以及增加学生的数量和准备质量提供了支持。霍华德大学（Howard University）的该项目提供了一种战略方法，可以通过交互式，以人为本的计算元素为课程和研究提供研究，以吸引和激发学生谈论计算机科学的目标，以增加计算机科学毕业生的数量。本科生以研究人员的身份参与了该项目。这个为期一年的试点项目旨在重新设计游戏设计课程的简介和计算机科学本科课程中的人类计算机互动课程，其中包括混合现实中的学习模块，包括虚拟现实和增强现实；以及用户体验设计和人工互动的基础。 这些课程将使学生使用积极的，基于项目的学习来接触交互式计算元素。 该项目将使用定性和定量措施研究此干预措施的功效。该项目将以形成性和总结性评估为指导。该项目由计算机和信息科学和工程局的信息和智能系统司共同资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
