Academic Excellence Through Research and Mentoring

邵氏大学的HBCU-UP项目，通过研究和指导学术卓越，旨在提高STEM专业的质量，以进入研究生院，增加少数民族学生从高中和社区学院进入邵氏大学STEM课程，建立技术基础设施，包括测试/提供教师发展活动，以增加拨款能力和本科生的研究参与。邵氏大学已经制定了一个积极的招聘计划其中包括家庭支持活动、指导、跟踪和丰富学术计划，如实习、实地考察和参加会议。该项目的学术部分将侧重于加强技术基础设施和数学和物理方面的传统守门人课程。 资金将用于装备测试和辅导中心以及教室，并改善生活环境，以支持STEM学生的生活学习社区。 技术改进将与课程倡议密切相关，课堂教学将通过使用克拉克亚特兰大大学开发的计算机化学习系统得到加强。 该系统包括多媒体课堂讲稿、在线测试和管理。 其他课程改进将包括普通化学课程的发现方法以及创新的物理实验。本实施项目中的教师发展活动将重点加强教师获得和管理补助资金的能力，并增加教师对本科研究活动的参与。

Shaw University's HBCU-UP project, Academic Excellence through Research and Mentoring, is aimed at enhancing the quality of STEM majors for admission to graduate schools, increase the flow of minority students from high schools and community colleges into STEM programs at Shaw University, build technology infrastructure including a testing/tutorial center and provide faculty development activities to increase grant capability and undergraduate research involvement.Shaw University has outlined an aggressive recruitment plan which includes family support activities, mentoring, tracking, and providing enrichment to the academic program such as internships, field trips, and conference attendance.The academic component of the project will focus on strengthening the technology infrastructure and the traditional gatekeeper courses in mathematics and physics. Funds will be used to equip a testing and tutorial center, as well as classrooms, and enhancing the living environment to support STEM student living-learning communities. The technology enhancement will be closely linked to the curriculum initiatives.The classroom instruction will be enhanced with the use of the computerized learning system developed at Clark Atlanta University. This delivery system includes multimedia lecture notes, and online testing and management. Other curriculum enhancements will include discovery approach for general chemistry courses, as well as innovative physics experiments.Faculty development activities in this implementation project will focus on strengthening faculty ability to obtain and manage grant funds, as well as increase faculty involvement in undergraduate research activities.
