Johnson C. Smith University is a private historically-black college located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The university enrolls 1500 full-time students, of which approximately 300 are declared science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors. Within the newly established STEM College, the university awards Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology, Chemistry, General Science, Mathematics, Mathematics Education, Computer Science/Information Systems, Computer Engineering, and Information Systems Engineering.Johnson C. Smith University proposes to build on the successes of the previous HBCU-UP project. This project entitled "Academic Enhancement of the STEM College at Johnson C. Smith University" adds the promise of sustainable impacts from new and exciting activities arising from "lessons learned" during the initial implementation project. These activities include establishing a Faculty/Student Undergraduate Research Community designed to revise, enrich and create transformative STEM courses and programs; establishing and developing faculty/student collaborations and partnerships with STEM related industries, research centers, laboratories and other higher education institutions; providing STEM faculty "Market-Driven Re-Tooling" opportunities in pedagogy and discipline specific development; and enhancing STEM student retention, graduation and critical transitioning to graduate studies and/or the STEM workplace.

约翰逊·c·史密斯大学是一所历史悠久的黑人私立大学，位于北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市。该大学有1500名全日制学生，其中约300名是科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）专业的学生。在新成立的STEM学院内，该大学授予生物学、化学、普通科学、数学、数学教育、计算机科学/信息系统、计算机工程和信息系统工程等科学学士学位。约翰逊·c·史密斯大学建议在之前HBCU-UP项目的成功基础上继续发展。这个名为“Johnson C. Smith大学STEM学院的学术提升”的项目增加了从最初实施项目中“经验教训”中产生的新的和令人兴奋的活动的可持续影响的承诺。这些活动包括建立一个教师/学生本科研究社区，旨在修改、丰富和创建变革性的STEM课程和项目；建立和发展与STEM相关行业、研究中心、实验室和其他高等教育机构的师生合作和伙伴关系；为STEM教师提供“以市场为导向的再工具”的教学和学科发展机会；提高STEM学生的保留率、毕业率以及向研究生学习和/或STEM工作场所的关键过渡。
