Programs for the Retention and Enrichment of Science, Engineering and Mathematics students

克拉夫林大学是南卡罗来纳州历史上最古老的黑人学院大学，将实施题为“保留和充实科学、工程和数学学生方案”的项目。这个为期五年的项目包括一个全面的方法，以加强克拉夫林大学的本科科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教学和研究基础设施，其目标是扩大在STEM学科和劳动力中代表性不足的少数民族的参与。 PRESEMs将侧重于提高学生在STEM学习的方法，如同伴引导教学，基于问题的学习和基于研究的课程。积极招收学生，提供有效的大学预科推广和夏季充实计划，实施计划，以提高成功完成看门人课程，通过现代化仪器，实验室和教室，加强本科STEM课程，利用本科研究作为教学工具-这些都是实现机构改革所需的战略，同时为学生在STEM领域的研究生学习和成功的职业生涯做好准备。

Claflin University, the oldest Historically Black College & University in the state of South Carolina will implement the project entitled: "Programs for the Retention and Enrichment of Science, Engineering and Mathematics Students" (PRESEMs). This five-year project consists of a comprehensive approach to strengthen Claflin University's undergraduate science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research infrastructure with the goal of broadening the participation of underrepresented minorities in the STEM disciplines and workforce. PRESEMs will focus on approaches that enhance student learning in STEM, such as peer-led instruction, problem-based learning, and a research-based curriculum. Aggressively recruiting students, offering effective pre-college outreach and summer enrichment programs, implementing programs to increase successful completion of gate-keeper courses, enhancing undergraduate STEM curricula by modernizing instrumentation, laboratories and classrooms, utilizing undergraduate research as a teaching tool - these are the strategies required to bring about institutional reform while preparing students for graduate study and successful careers in STEM fields.
