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 science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) graduate programs and/or careers. The goal of this project is to enhance the undergraduate curriculum and provide adequate knowledge, hands-on training, and certifications in 5G broadband communications systems at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU).The project proposes to develop STEM talents in broadband communication systems at the undergraduate level by (i) developing a testbed on 5G communication systems for research and training, (ii) enhancing or developing broadband courses in the electrical and computer engineering department, (iii) developing an undergraduate certificate program in Broadband Access Technologies, and (iv) engaging community college students in broadband technologies via seminar/workshop during the summer. The proposed developments will be based on evidence-based teaching components relevant to current and future broadband needs, such as improving student mastery of skills in the 5G broadband domain. The research aspect of the project will focus on wideband communications, blockchain-based transactions, serverless computing, and security for cloud computing. This program will equip and motivate students historically underrepresented in STEM with the knowledge to complete baccalaureate degrees with an emphasis on the broadband field and build a career in broadband communications. The program will also engage community college students to motivate them to achieve four years degrees at PVAMU in STEM fields, especially in electrical and computer engineering with a concentration in broadband communications. Thus, the proposed activities will have a broader impact on the workforce and research development, contributing to nationwide broadband growth.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.

历史上黑人学院和大学本科项目 (HBCU-UP) 通过定向注入项目支持开发、实施和研究基于证据的创新模型和方法，以改善 HBCU 本科生的准备和成功，以便他们能够追求科学、技术、工程或数学 (STEM) 研究生课程和/或职业。该项目的目标是加强 Prairie View A&M 大学 (PVAMU) 的本科课程，并提供足够的 5G 宽带通信系统知识、实践培训和认证。该项目拟在 Prairie View A&M 大学 (PVAMU) 培养宽带通信系统方面的 STEM 人才通过 (i) 开发用于研究和培训的 5G 通信系统测试平台，(ii) 加强或开发电气和计算机工程系的宽带课程，(iii) 开发宽带接入技术本科证书课程，以及 (iv) ）吸引人社区学院的学生在夏季通过研讨会/讲习班学习宽带技术。拟议的发展将基于与当前和未来宽带需求相关的循证教学内容，例如提高学生对 5G 宽带领域技能的掌握。该项目的研究重点将集中在宽带通信、基于区块链的交易、无服务器计算和云计算安全性。该计划将为历来在 STEM 领域代表性不足的学生提供知识，并激励他们完成侧重于宽带领域的学士学位，并在宽带通信领域建立职业生涯。该计划还将吸引社区学院的学生，激励他们在 PVAMU 获得 STEM 领域的四年制学位，特别是专注于宽带通信的电气和计算机工程。因此，拟议的活动将对劳动力和研究发展产生更广泛的影响，从而促进全国宽带的增长。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
