Implementation Project: Philander Smith College HBCU-UP Project II

该项目名为-菲兰德史密斯学院HBCU-UP项目II -建立在一个非常成功的先前实施项目，并有目标通过提高竞争力，货币和菲兰德史密斯学院（PSC）的STEM教育经验的效率对机构能力产生影响。在2011-2012学年，该机构招收的732名学生中有221名是STEM专业。该项目旨在增加研究准备的学生，STEM毕业生和以STEM为重点的研究生院学生的数量。该项目旨在加强现有的STEM本科生研究基础设施，通过制定和实施基于网络基础设施的教学和学习策略来改善STEM教育，并为即将入学的新生从高中到大学的过渡做好准备。该项目将建立通过学术研究促进STEM学科整合探究式学习环境的模式。它旨在注入有效的创新网络基础设施为基础的资源，概念和工具，以加强技术在PSC的STEM教育环境的整体整合。利益相关者包括代表性不足的高中生，本科生和整个STEM社区。结果将被公布，以促进知识的主体，这将导致教育代表性不足的本科生在STEM在一个小型的文科院校的理解。

The project entitled - Philander Smith College HBCU-UP Project II - builds on a very successful previous implementation project and has the goal to have an impact on the institutional capacity by enhancing the competitiveness, currency, and efficiency of the STEM education experience at Philander Smith College (PSC). In the 2011-2012 academic year, 221 of the 732 students enrolled at the institution were STEM majors. The project seeks to increase the number of research prepared students, STEM graduates, and students attending graduate schools with a STEM focus. The project aims to enhance the current STEM undergraduate research infrastructure, improve STEM education by developing and implementing cyberinfrastructure-based strategies in teaching and learning, and prepare incoming freshmen for the transition from high school to college.The project will establish models that promote the integration of inquiry-based learning environments in STEM disciplines through scholarly research. It seeks to infuse effective innovative cyberinfrastructure-based resources, concepts, and tools to enhance the overall integration of technology in PSC's STEM educational setting. Stakeholders include underrepresented high school students, undergraduate students, and the overall STEM community. Results will be published to contribute to the body of knowledge that will lead to the understanding of educating underrepresented undergraduate students in STEM at a small liberal arts institution.
