项目摘要

Texas Southern University Science and Technology Enhancement Program (STEP) will implement various strategies in order to increase the number of African Americans and female graduates in chemistry, mathematics and physics. The activities will include 1)student recruitment and retention, 2) faculty development in teaching and scholarly achievement and 3) curricular reform and enrichment through the use of information technology.The TSU STEP recruitment efforts has as its goal an increase in the graduation rate. The efforts will focus on aggressively recruiting high achieving students, addressing and removing academic barriers through supplemental curriculum programming in gatekeeper courses and creating a student-centered culture of excellence and high expectations.Faculty development will ensure appropriate integration of technology. The project will treain faculty in the use of Blackboard, ensure full integration of technology and on-line instruction and increase the number of STEM faculty members who engage in research opportunities and in the supervision of undergraduate research. TSU will partner with other institutions in this effort.Curriculum reform will include the incorporation of web-based technology and computational methods as n integral part of the curricula for STEM majors. The project will involve faculty from Biology, Chemistry, Computer Scinece, Engineering Technologies, Mathematics and Physics.

得克萨斯南方大学科学和技术增强方案将实施各种战略，以增加非裔美国人和女性化学、数学和物理毕业生的人数。这些活动包括1）学生的招募和保留，2）教师在教学和学术成就方面的发展，3）通过使用信息技术进行课程改革和充实。大津STEP的招募工作是以提高毕业率为目标的。这些努力将集中在积极招募成绩优异的学生，通过看门人课程中的补充课程规划来解决和消除学术障碍，并创造以学生为中心的卓越和高期望文化。教师发展将确保技术的适当整合。该项目将训练教师使用黑板，确保技术和在线教学的充分整合，并增加从事研究机会和监督本科生研究的STEM教师人数。大津大学将与其他机构合作开展这项工作。课程改革将包括将基于网络的技术和计算方法作为STEM专业课程的组成部分。该项目将涉及来自生物，化学，计算机科学，工程技术，数学和物理的教师。
