Implementation Projects provide support to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to design, implement, study, and assess comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the number of students receiving undergraduate degrees in STEM and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. The project at Central State University seeks to build on previous successful efforts to increase participation of African-American students in STEM disciplines. The institution seeks to address low first year retention and persistence in the STEM areas. Central State University recognizes that the need to improve learning practices must be addressed. To address the issue of high unemployment levels for veterans in the state of Ohio, Central State University will increase educational opportunities for veterans in STEM fields.The goal of the project is to improve retention and persistence rates by adopting evidence-based strategies to include: enhancement of the university's cyber-infrastructure for "anytime, anywhere, anyone learning"; development and assessment of innovative teaching and learning techniques in STEM curricula; enhancement of undergraduate student research experiences; faculty professional development in effective STEM teaching pedagogy and research; and the creation of new approaches to recruitment and retention of undergraduate STEM students. Through the evaluation plan, the impact of infusion of cyber-pedagogy and integration of experiential learning on traditional students and veterans will be studied and disseminated.

实施项目为历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）提供支持，以设计，实施，研究和评估全面的机构努力，以增加获得STEM本科学位的学生人数，并通过加强STEM教育和研究来提高他们的准备质量。中央州立大学的这个项目力求在以往成功努力的基础上，增加非裔美国学生对STEM学科的参与。该机构旨在解决STEM领域第一年的低保留率和持久性问题。中央州立大学认识到，必须解决改善学习实践的需要。为了解决俄亥俄州退伍军人高失业率的问题，中央州立大学将增加退伍军人在STEM领域的教育机会。该项目的目标是通过采用基于证据的战略来提高保留率和持续率，包括：加强大学的网络基础设施，以实现“随时随地，任何人都能学习”;开发和评估STEM课程中的创新教学和学习技术;增强本科生的研究经验;教师在有效的STEM教学法和研究方面的专业发展;以及创造新的方法来招募和留住本科STEM学生。通过评估计划，将研究和传播网络教学法的注入和经验学习对传统学生和退伍军人的影响。
