Implementation Grant: Securing Success by Scaffolding Undergraduate STEM Researcher Development through Collaborative Institutional Reforms for Students and Faculty of TSU

田纳西州立大学是一所文化和种族多元化的HBCU，位于纳什维尔。通过HBCU-UP基金，田纳西州将着手对教师教学实践、课程和项目要素进行全面改革。目标是通过实施基于研究的教学技术和实践，将学生基于研究的经验整合到STEM课程中，并开发一个嵌入式指导辅导计划，提高STEM专业的招聘、保留和毕业率。随着田纳西州州立大学朝着他们的目标努力，将实施的活动是：(i)崛起的新生STEM暑期学院，以解决关键的高中到大学的过渡；（二）辅导/辅导方案；（iii） STEM师资发展，旨在加强数学、化学、物理、计算机科学和工程的教学知识和研究型改革技术；改革微积分、物理、化学、静力学、动力学、电路和热力学这些传统的门卫课程；(5)二年级研究技能研究所，给予本科生综合研究实践；（vi）提供STEM学院本科生研究导师。

Tennessee State University is a culturally and racially diverse HBCU, located in Nashville. Through the HBCU-UP funding, Tennessee State will embark on a comprehensive reform of faculty teaching practices, curriculum and programmatic elements. The goal is to increase the recruitment, retention and graduation rate of STEM majors through a developmental process that implements research-based teaching and learning techniques and practices, integrates student research based experiences into the STEM curriculum, and develops a mentoring embedded tutoring program.The activities that will be implemented as Tennessee State works toward their goal are: (i) Rising Freshman STEM Summer Institute to address the critical high school to college transition; (ii) Tutoring/mentoring program; (iii) STEM faculty development aimed at strengthening the pedagogical knowledge and research-based reform techniques in mathematics, chemistry, physics, computer science and engineering; (iv) Reform of Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Statics, Dynamics, Circuits and Thermodynamics, traditionally gate-keeping courses; (v) Rising Sophomore Research Skills Institute, giving integrated undergraduate research practica; and (vi) Providing for STEM Faculty Undergraduate Research Mentors.
