The goal of this project is to create a sustainable Network of engineering faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities to focus on the development, implementation, and expansion of an experiment-centric instructional pedagogy, based on the Mobile Studio. The project is implementing this pedagogy in 39 different courses across the 13 HBCUs participating in the network and studying the effect of the implementation on motivation and retention.This project is expanding the use of the hands-on pedagogy across the electrical engineering curriculum at 13 HBCUs. The approach is designed to give the student the ability to apply what they have learned anytime anywhere as well as to tinker and ask "what if" questions. One of the goals of this program is to test whether this approach increases student interest in STEM and increases retention of students at minority-serving institutions.

该项目的目标是在历史上的黑人学院和大学创建一个可持续的工程教师网络，专注于以实验为中心的教学法的开发，实施和扩展，基于移动的工作室。该项目正在参与网络的13个高等学校单位的39门不同课程中实施这一教学法，并研究实施对动机和保留的影响，该项目正在13个高等学校单位的电气工程课程中扩大实践教学法的使用。这种方法的目的是让学生能够随时随地应用他们所学到的知识，以及修补和问“如果”的问题。该计划的目标之一是测试这种方法是否会增加学生对STEM的兴趣，并增加少数民族服务机构的学生保留率。
