Bowie State University's (BSU) Targeted Infusion Project entitled - Increasing Expertise of Minority Students by Development of a Virtual and Augmented Reality Laboratory for Research and Education at Bowie State University - will enhance the computer science and mathematics curriculum and increase research opportunities for undergraduate students by deploying Virtual and Augmented Reality (VAR) as a research and educational vehicle to immerse students in research and critical thinking challenges. The Department of Computer Science enrolls about 250 undergraduate majors, most of whom are African-American.The objectives of this proposal are to: 1) enhance the Virtual Reality course curriculum with more inquiry based problem-solving activities and hand-on experiences based on Virtual and Augmented Reality educational modules; 2) develop the Virtual and Augmented Reality Laboratory for research and education in the Computer Science Department to provide undergraduate students with realistic immersive learning environments; and 3) acquire instrumentation to further develop the teaching and research infrastructure in VAR laboratories. The project seeks to prepare computer science majors at BSU to be competitive to enter graduate programs and the workforce.

鲍伊州立大学（BSU）的有针对性的注入项目，题为-通过在鲍伊州立大学开发虚拟和增强现实实验室的研究和教育，增加少数民族学生的专业知识-将通过部署虚拟和增强现实（VAR），增强计算机科学和数学课程，增加本科生的研究机会。作为一个研究和教育工具，让学生沉浸在研究和批判性思维的挑战中。计算机科学系招收了大约250名本科生，其中大部分是非洲裔美国人。本提案的目标是：1）通过更多基于虚拟和增强现实教育模块的探究式问题解决活动和实践经验，加强虚拟现实课程的课程设置; 2）在计算机科学系建立虚拟和增强现实实验室，为本科生提供逼真的沉浸式学习环境;以及3）获取仪器，以进一步发展VAR实验室的教学和研究基础设施。该项目旨在为BSU的计算机科学专业做好准备，使其在进入研究生课程和劳动力市场方面具有竞争力。
