This project, investigating a spectrum of research topics centered in software engineering and AI, proposes building a common infrastructure that would enable expanding the educational program to include the production of high-quality PhD students and to continue to conduct nationally competitive research. Additionally, the project seeks expansion in networking expertise. Specific goals include: Develop a PhD program in Computer Science, Prepare productive research faculty to take on PhD students, Improve faculty research, especially research with student co-authors, Recruit and retain excellent graduate and undergraduate students, Increase student support, thereby encouraging students to stay in school, Increase mentoring and improve tracking of graduate students, Improve departmental laboratory and research facilities, and Monitor department progress towards the program goals with an external evaluation team.Initially the following projects will directly benefit from the infrastructure proposed: Software Reuse Measurement, Reliability Modeling, Requirement Simulation, Software Performance Engineering, Real-Time Secure Processing of Data on Distributed Systems, Advanced Knowledge Acquisition and Dissemination, and Fault-Tolerance.Educational and outreach activities involve faculty development, mentoring, curricular changes, and active recruitment. A PhD program in CS at an HBCU should prepare more African American students in CISE areas and fulfill some of the high demand for minority faculty. At the moment, no HBCU offers a PhD in CISE areas.

该项目调查了以软件工程和人工智能为中心的一系列研究课题，提出建立一个共同的基础设施，以扩大教育计划，包括培养高质量的博士生，并继续进行具有国家竞争力的研究。此外，该项目寻求扩大网络专业知识。具体目标包括：开发计算机科学博士课程，准备生产研究教师承担博士生，提高教师研究，特别是与学生合著者的研究，招聘和留住优秀的研究生和本科生，增加学生支持，从而鼓励学生留在学校，增加指导和改善研究生的跟踪，改善部门实验室和研究设施，并与外部评估团队一起监控部门实现计划目标的进展。最初，以下项目将直接受益于提议的基础设施：软件复用度量，可靠性建模，需求仿真，软件性能工程，分布式系统上数据的实时安全处理，高级知识获取和传播，教育和推广活动包括教师发展、指导、课程改革和积极招聘。在HBCU的CS博士课程应该准备更多的非洲裔美国学生在CISE地区，并满足一些少数民族教师的高需求。目前，没有HBCU提供CISE领域的博士学位。
