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. This project at the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff (UAPB) will infuse the General and Organic Chemistry curriculum with web-based teaching tools and simulation software. It is expected that learning outcomes will be improved leading to an overall increase in retention. The goal of this project is to increase the number of students completing Organic Chemistry I and moving to Organic Chemistry II, resulting in an overall increase in retention of students in STEM disciplines. This project is also designed to incorporate Peer Led Team Learning (PLTL) practices into General and Organic Chemistry classes at UAPB. The intervention strategies will improve students’ performance in organic chemistry leading to overall increase in retention of students in the sciences. It will also strengthen STEM curricula through infusion of new pedagogical approaches that will promote a greater depth of knowledge in Organic Chemistry. This project will quantify and analyze the effects of technology infusion in learning difficult concepts in Organic Chemistry. The study will also identify the effectiveness of educational TPACK Framework in framing the study for technology infusion in the classroom and laboratory settings. This project will help UAPB to produce a greater number of qualified minority graduates who will pursue careers in the STEM areas.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，支持基于证据的创新模型的开发，实施和研究，以改善HBCU本科生的准备和成功，以便他们可以购买STEM研究生计划和/或职业。该项目在阿肯色大学松木布拉夫（UAPB）将使用基于Web的教学工具和仿真软件注入一般和有机化学课程。预计学习成果将得到改善，从而导致保留率的总体增长。该项目的目的是增加完成有机化学I并转向有机化学II的学生的数量，从而导致Stem学科学生保留的总体上升。该项目还旨在将同伴LED团队学习（PLTL）实践纳入UAPB的一般有机化学类别。干预策略将改善学生在有机化学方面的表现，从而使科学学生的保留率总体上升。它还将通过输注新的教学方法来增强STEM课程，从而促进有机化学知识的深度。该项目将量化和分析技术输液在学习有机化学中的困难概念中的影响。这项研究还将确定教育TPACK框架在构架课堂和实验室环境中技术输液研究方面的有效性。该项目将帮助UAPB培养更多将在STEM领域从事职业的合格少数民族毕业生。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估审查标准，认为通过评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
