The implementation project at Jackson State University entitled - Institutional Change through Faculty Advancement in Instruction and Mentoring - builds on two successful previous implementation projects and aims to increase the retention of undergraduate students in the College of Science, Engineering and Technology by helping the faculty and graduate students to improve teaching and mentoring. The project focuses its initial efforts on the Department of Physics, Atmospheric Sciences and Geoscience (PASGS) by piloting faculty development workshops in student-centered pedagogy and delivering professional mentoring. The project also supports the department's efforts to revise the content of entry-level physics courses and their respective labs. To examine the efficacy of faculty development in mentoring and the development of a research methods course, the project supports students and faculty to increase the number of research opportunities on campus during the academic year and with partner institutions year round. This will increase overall undergraduate research participation. The project will expand from one primarily targeting PASGS to one that is institutionalized within the departments in the college. It offers an opportunity to collect data that will guide the faculty on how to successfully address the particular learning and mentoring needs of African American science,technology, engineering and mathematics undergraduate students.This project has the potential to become a successful model which will be shared with the broader community of colleges and universities that are working to increase the number of minorities entering the scientific and technological workforce.

杰克逊州立大学的实施项目题为“通过教师在教学和辅导方面的进步实现机构变革”，该项目以先前两个成功的实施项目为基础，旨在通过帮助教师和研究生改善教学和辅导，提高科学、工程和技术学院本科生的保留率。该项目的重点是物理，大气科学和地球科学（PASGS）的部门通过试点教师发展研讨会在以学生为中心的教学和提供专业指导的初步努力。该项目还支持该部门努力修改入门级物理课程及其各自实验室的内容。为了研究教师发展的指导和研究方法课程的发展的功效，该项目支持学生和教师在学年期间增加校园内的研究机会，并与合作机构全年。这将提高整体本科生的研究参与。该项目将从一个主要针对PASGS扩展到一个在学院各系内制度化的项目。它提供了一个收集数据的机会，这些数据将指导教师如何成功地解决非洲裔美国人科学，技术，该项目有可能成为一个成功的模式，将与更广泛的学院和大学社区分享，这些学院和大学正在努力增加少数民族进入科学和技术领域的人数。劳动力
