With National Science Foundation support, Johnson C Smith University will establish a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Learning Community to produce STEM undergraduates well able to use problem-based learning, interdisciplinary inquiry, in-depth analysis, technology, and critique for reflection and change. The STEM Learning Community will include a freshman STEM experience, second year STEM problem-based learning activities, field-specific upper level college courses and research experiences, and continuous faculty/student research opportunities and career and graduate school advisement. This model will serve as a national competency-, performance-based curriculum to produce capable STEM graduates who will successfully pursue graduate study or enter the STEM work force.The intellectual merit of this project lies in the proposed STEM infrastructure enhancements and their potential to result in significant and sustainable improvements in the overall quality of STEM instruction at the institution.The impact of the proposed efforts is to broaden the participation of under-represented minorities in STEM disciplines and the national STEM workforce and provide a model for enhanced undergraduate STEM learning.

在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，约翰逊·C·史密斯大学将建立一个STEM（科学、技术、工程、数学）学习社区，培养能够使用基于问题的学习、跨学科探究、深入分析、技术和批判进行反思和变革的STEM本科生。STEM学习社区将包括新生的STEM体验、第二年基于STEM问题的学习活动、特定领域的高级大学课程和研究经验，以及持续的教师/学生研究机会、职业和研究生院咨询。这种模式将作为一种以国家能力、绩效为基础的课程，培养有能力的STEM毕业生，他们将成功地继续研究生学习或进入STEM工作队伍。该项目的智力价值在于拟议的STEM基础设施增强，以及它们可能导致该机构STEM教学整体质量的显著和可持续改善。提议的努力的影响是扩大代表性不足的少数民族在STEM学科和国家STEM劳动力中的参与，并为加强本科STEM学习提供一个模式。
