Strategic Plan for Enhancement, Expansion and Development of Undergraduate Programs (SPEED-UP)

J.F.位于亚拉巴马亨茨维尔的德雷克州立技术学院是一所为期两年的历史悠久的黑人学院。 他们的HBCU-UP项目（加强，扩大和发展本科课程的战略计划）将提供基础设施，i）扩大STEM教师的专业发展机会; ii）加强和扩大德雷克目前的STEM课程和衔接协议，iii）扩大对代表性不足的群体的宣传，以提高STEM的参与。德雷克计划在同伴学习、互动学习、即时教学和补充教学等领域为教师提供专业发展。 在课程开发方面，德雷克将通过使用专业发展活动中强调的一些技术，重新设计数学，物理，生物和计算机信息系统课程。 此外，德雷克将为高中生和成年人实施夏桥计划，这将增加对STEM计划的兴趣，特别是他们所服务的学生。

J.F. Drake State Technical College in Huntsville, Alabama is a two-year Historically Black Institution. Their HBCU-UP project SPEED-UP (Strategic Plan for Enhancement, Expansion and Development of Undergraduate Programs) will provide the infrastructure to i) expand professional development opportunities for STEM faculty; ii) enhance and expand Drake's current STEM curriculum and articulation agreements and iii) expand outreach to underrepresented groups to increase STEM participation.Through the SPEED-UP project, Drake plans to offer professional development for faculty in the areas of peer learning, interactive learning, Just-in-Time Teaching and Supplemental Instruction. In the area of curriculum development, Drake will re-design the mathematics, physics, biology and computer information systems curriculum through the use of some of the techniques emphasized in the professional development activities. In addition, Drake will implement summer bridge programs for high school students and for adults, which should increase interest in STEM programs, especially with the students that they serve.
