The Mathematics Improvement Project (MIP) represents a concentrated effort to increase the numbers of underrepresented students majoring in science, mathematics, or engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) by focusing on their successful completion of College Algebra and Pre- calculus. The project is incorporating programmatic structures that facilitate faculty training, curricular design, and implementation of pedagogical practices designed to both meet the special needs of underrepresented students and to promote critical thinking and mastery of mathematical concepts. Four faculty within the Division of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics (MCSS) at UTSA are working as MIP faculty and are designing and implementing a culture-sensitive learning environment as well as a non-traditional instructional curriculum to insure that students are prepared to work in the global community in the 21st century. Although the program is open to all students, underrepresented students enrolling in College Algebra and Pre-calculus are being targeted. Through collaboration with the university's Student Services offices and by formalizing ties with local schools and community colleges, this program is implementing an effective system of recruitment, retention, and successful completion of the MIP mathematics sequence for underrepresented students. MIP's pipeline is generating a new momentum which allows students to build confidence and to achieve an incremental gain in skills powerful enough to ensure success in future mathematics courses. The overall goal is to increase the rate of undergraduate students successfully completing the math sequence by at least 20%.***//

数学改进项目（MIP）是一个 集中努力增加任职人数偏低的 主修科学、数学或工程的学生， 德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校（UTSA）， 他们成功完成了大学代数和预科课程， 微积分 该项目正在纳入方案结构 促进教师培训，课程设计， 实施教学实践， 代表性不足的学生的特殊需要，并促进 批判性思维和掌握数学概念。 四 数学，计算机科学， 和统计（MCSS）在UTSA工作作为MIP教师， 正在设计和实施一种文化敏感的学习方式， 环境以及非传统的教学 课程，以确保学生准备工作， 21世纪世纪的全球社会。 虽然该计划是 开放给所有学生，代表性不足的学生入学， 大学代数和微积分预科成为目标。 通过 与大学的学生服务办公室合作 通过与当地学校和社区建立正式联系 学院，该计划正在实施一个有效的制度， 招募、保留和成功完成MIP 数学序列的代表性不足的学生。 该人的 管道正在产生一种新的动力，使学生能够 建立信心，并逐步获得技能 强大到足以确保未来数学的成功 课程 总体目标是提高 本科生成功完成数学 最少20%**//
