This project aims to serve the national interest by improving student persistence and commitment to the profession of engineering by implementing a person-centered, data-informed approach to proactive advising. The proactive advising curriculum will help students take advantage of, internalize, and optimize the ever-increasing array of resources, co-curricular activities, and support services that are available. The approach is individualized using data analytics to match formal and informal learning opportunities to the unique strengths, needs, and goals of each student. In addition to addressing the immediate challenge of persistence, the approach offers a rare and potentially revolutionary opportunity for harnessing the potential of big data for understanding, documenting, and informing personalized learning for all students, including students from groups underrepresented engineering, which is recognized as one of the grand challenges of engineering.This project will develop a proactive advising approach grounded in an evidence-based conceptual framework and explicit equity focus. The proactive advising curriculum builds on evidence-based personas and individually optimized programmatic supports. The personas will result from a first-of-its-kind multidimensional data integration model. Specially trained peer and professional advisors will use the evidence-based personas, constructed by integrating new forms of person-centered motivational data, as part of the collaborative decision-making process to optimize resources and support in a manner consistent with the student’s strengths and for building efficacy and agency. The NSF IUSE: EDU Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.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.

该项目旨在通过实施以人为中心的，以数据知识的方式来积极主动咨询来改善学生对工程专业的持久和对工程专业的承诺来服务国家利益。主动的咨询课程将帮助学生利用，内部化和优化不断增加的资源，课外活动和可用的支持服务。该方法是使用数据分析来个性化的，将正式和非正式的学习机会与每个学生的独特优势，需求和目标相匹配。除了解决持久性的直接挑战之外，该方法还提供了一个罕见且潜在的革命性机会，用于利用大数据的潜力来理解，记录和为所有学生提供个性化学习，包括来自工程基础的团队的学生，这被认为是工程的宏伟挑战之一。这些项目的项目将基于循证的概念框架构建构架框架的依据和典型的份额，并将其构成基于循证的概念框架和专注于公平。该主动的咨询课程基于基于证据的角色和单独优化的程序化支持。角色将由首先的多维数据集成模型产生。经过专门培训的同伴和专业顾问将使用基于证据的角色，通过整合以人为本的动机数据的新形式，作为协作决策过程的一部分，以符合学生的优势以及建筑有效性和代理的方式优化资源和支持。 NSF IUSE：EDU计划支持研发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。通过参与的学生学习轨道，该计划支持了承诺实践和工具的创建，探索和实施。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的影响评估的评估来支持的。
