The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), through Targeted Infusion Projects, supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue STEM graduate programs and/or careers. Morgan State University intends to enhance its computer science curriculum to effect improved student performance in programming. The project focuses its attention on two “key” computer courses as they serve as ‘gatekeeper’ courses and/or targeted programming courses. With a student population that is 84.5% from groups who are typically underrepresented in STEM fields, the project is poised to prepare larger numbers of computer scientists from those groups, who will be more competitive in the computer science industry. Successful execution of the project also promises to impact analogous programs at peer institutions.The goals of this project are to: 1) infuse two distinct learning initiatives, programming-based problem-solving strategies and a programming tool usage workflow, into two CS programming courses at Morgan State University and evaluate the ability for CS majors, enrolled in these courses, to become proficient programmers based on these employed initiatives, and 2) conduct a 3-year longitudinal survey that captures information about the matriculation, confidence levels, developed skill-sets, and future/career aspirations of all CS majors at Morgan State University. To examine the impact of both initiatives, measures for evaluating psycho-social attributes, programming comprehension, programming task efficiency, and tool usability will be employed. Likewise, relative factors such as retention, GPA, and graduation rates will be evaluated. The potential contributions of this project are to 1) evaluate the effectiveness of both learning initiatives on student learning, and 2) show evidence that these practices can aid in the Computer Science majors’ ability to become proficient programmers.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本科课程（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目，支持基于循证的创新模型的开发，实施和研究，以改善HBCU本科生的准备和成功，以便他们可以从事STEM研究生课程和/或职业。摩根州立大学打算增强其计算机科学课程，以提高编程的学生表现。该项目将注意力集中在两个“关键”计算机课程上，因为它们是“看门人”课程和/或有针对性的编程课程。该项目的学生群体的中毒是毒品中有毒化的群体的84.5％，该项目被毒死，以准备大量的计算机科学家，这些计算机科学家将在计算机科学行业更具竞争力。该项目的成功执行还有望影响同行机构的类似计划。该项目的目标是：1）注入两个不同的学习计划，基于编程的问题解决策略和一个编程工具使用工作流程，将两个CS编程课程纳入Morgan州立大学的两个CS编程课程中，并在这些课程中评估了这些课程，并在这些课程中招募了两年的行为，并在这些课程中聘请了一名PRIFICER，这些计划是有能力的，这些计划是有能力的，这些计划是有能力的，这些计划是有能力的，这些年度是有能力的，这些赛车是有能力的，这些计划是有能力的。纵向调查捕获有关摩根州立大学所有CS专业的入学，信心水平，发展技能和未来/职业愿望的信息。为了检查这两种举措的影响，将采取评估心理社会属性，编程理解，编程任务效率和工具可用性的措施。同样，将评估保留，GPA和毕业率等相对因素。该项目的潜在贡献是1）评估两种学习计划对学生学习的有效性，以及2）表明证据表明，这些实践可以帮助计算机科学专业成为熟练的程序员的能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估该基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
