BPC-A: Collaborative Research: Alliance between Historically Black Universities and Research Universities for Collaborative Education and Research in Computing Disciplines

北卡罗来纳州农业和技术州立大学（NCAT）提出了一种新颖的，双向HBCU和研究型大学之间的合作，以增加非洲裔美国人谁获得研究生学位，并进入教师和研究人员在计算职业生涯的数量。联盟的参与者包括HBCU的- NCAT，班尼特学院，迪拉德大学，杰克逊州立大学，诺福克州立大学-和大多数，研究型大学-科罗拉多大学，格鲁吉亚理工学院，弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学。北卡罗来纳州和联合黑人学院基金特别项目将提供咨询。该方案将有三个组成部分。首先，它将通过改变课程和教学法来加强HBCU的本科计算课程，包括协作学习环境，基于发现和实践的学习。该联盟将为本科生和研究生创造研究和教育经验，以设计，研究，工业和研讨会经验的形式提供真实的学习。学生将通过同侪，步骤和教师学生指导给予社会，学术和职业支持。第二，联盟的活动将使学生和教师的双向研究机会和教学伙伴关系制度化。这将与联合研究和教学的发展，无论是远程和通过学生和教师的访问和交流。教师将合作研究团队和研究生的监督。第三，该联盟将支持教师之间正在进行的研究伙伴关系，并将为HBCU学生毕业后从事教师职业提供途径。所有这些活动都是基于一个独特的，双馈线模型，允许一些HBCU本科生在研究密集型HBCU（NCAT）攻读硕士研究，然后继续博士学位。在研究型大学学习。该联盟下发展的合作将是有意义的双向关系，将根据PI在促进研究型大学和HBCU之间合作方面的经验建立。

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCAT) proposes a novel, 2-way collaboration between HBCUs and research universities in order to increase the number of African Americans who obtain graduate degrees and enter faculty and research careers in computing. Alliance participants include HBCU's - NCAT, Bennett College, Dillard University, Jackson State University, and Norfolk State University - and majority, research universities - the University of Colorado, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. North Carolina State and the United Negro College Fund Special Programs will provide consulting. The program will have three components. Firstly, it will strengthen undergraduate computing programs at the HBCUs by changing curriculum and pedagogy to include collaborative learning environments, discovery-based and hands-on learning. The Alliance will create research and educational experiences for undergraduates and graduate students providing authentic learning in the form of design, research, industry and workshop experiences. The students will be given social, academic, and career support through peer-, step- and faculty-student mentoring. Secondly, Alliance activities will institutionalize two-way research opportunities and teaching partnerships for students and faculty. This will be done with the development of joint research and teaching, both remotely and through student and faculty visits and exchanges. Faculty will partner on research teams and graduate student supervision. Thirdly, the Alliance will support ongoing research partnerships among faculty members and will provide pathways for HBCU students to pursue faculty careers after graduation. All of these activities are based on a unique, dual feeder model that allows some HBCU undergraduates to pursue Master's study at a research intensive HBCU (NCAT) before going on to Ph.D. study at a research university. The collaborations developed under this Alliance will be meaningful, two-way relationships that will be built from the PIs' experience in facilitating collaborations between research universities and HBCUs.
