ABSTRACT HRD 0929092Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) is strengthening undergraduate recruitment and retention activities in the STEM disciplines. Their goals are being achieved through several interrelated activities such as: (1) improving the quality of incoming high school students through Summer Enrichment Program (SEP), Early Career Awareness, Science Fair and Algebra tutorials, (2) developing high school mathematics and science teachers through content enhancement workshops, Summer Enrichment Program and software and technology training, (3) improving the quality of undergraduates through scholarships, learning center support, research mentoring, placement in summer internships, and GRE preparation, (4) implementing an aggressive faculty development through peer mentoring, seed grant award for research development, and sponsorship to HBCU research consortium workshops, and (5) enhancing curriculum through infusion of algebra to science learning, instituting Computer Aided Learning (CAI) software in mathematics and science courses, and developing an environmental awareness elective for all majors. The expected project outcomes include: (1) increased STEM graduation; (2) increased faculty participation in research, publications, and grants writing; (3) enhanced quality of undergraduate research experiences; (4) strengthened partnerships with academic institutions and research labs; (5) increased use of technology in teaching and research in all STEM disciplines; and (6) increased numbers of STEM students completing the path from high school through college to graduate school. This proposal builds on the successes of the previous HBCU-UP grant, which resulted in significantly increasing student research and summer internships, enrollment in graduate schools, and graduation rate in STEM disciplines. The project team anticipates that this project will enable SUNO to regain some of the ground lost in STEM disciplines due to the impact of hurricane Katrina.Project leadership includes Dr. Joe Omojola, Professor of Mathematics and Physics, who was honored with the distinguished 2006 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM), given in an award ceremony at the White House.

摘要：新奥尔良南方大学（SUNO）正在加强STEM学科的本科生招聘和保留活动。它们的目标正在通过若干相互关联的活动来实现，例如：（1）通过暑期充实计划（SEP），早期职业意识，科学博览会和代数教程提高即将入学的高中生的质量，（2）通过内容增强研讨会，暑期充实计划以及软件和技术培训培养高中数学和科学教师，（3）通过奖学金、学习中心支持、研究指导、暑期实习和GRE准备来提高本科生的质量，（4）通过同伴指导、研究开发种子基金奖励和对HBCU研究联盟研讨会的赞助来实施积极的教师发展，（5）通过将代数融入科学学习来加强课程，在数学和科学课程中建立计算机辅助学习（CAI）软件，并为所有专业开发环境意识选修课。预期的项目成果包括：（1）增加STEM毕业;（2）增加教师参与研究，出版物和赠款写作;（3）提高本科生研究经验的质量;（4）加强与学术机构和研究实验室的伙伴关系;（5）在所有STEM学科的教学和研究中增加技术的使用。以及（6）完成从高中到大学再到研究生院的STEM学生数量增加。该提案建立在之前HBCU-UP赠款的成功基础上，该赠款导致学生研究和暑期实习，研究生院入学率和STEM学科毕业率显着增加。该项目团队预计，该项目将使SUNO恢复一些地面失去的STEM学科，由于卡特里娜飓风的影响。项目领导人包括乔Omojola博士，数学和物理教授，谁被授予杰出的2006年总统奖卓越科学，数学和工程指导（PAESMEM），在颁奖仪式上在白宫。
