Targeted Infusion Project in Interdisciplinary Transportation Studies (TIP-ITS)

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目支持开发，实施和基于证据的创新模式和方法的研究，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求STEM研究生课程和/或职业。该项目在萨凡纳州立大学旨在开发和实施跨学科的本科证书课程，以教育学生，包括那些传统上在STEM学科中代表性不足的人口，在技术，物流，政策，研究和运输行业的运输相关问题。证书获得者将准备在运输行业获得职业职位，从而帮助美国经济保持竞争力。招聘工作包括接触高中生，让他们接触STEM科目及其与交通领域的关系。该项目有以下三个目标：1）加强与运输概念相关的现有课程内容，以更好地为学生的运输职业做好准备; 2）提高运输研究和相关领域（如物流，土木工程和国土安全）的认识，学生入学率和保留率;以及3）制定和实施学生和教师的增强计划，特别是与交通研究有关的计划。这些活动和战略是以证据为基础的，形成性和总结性评价的有力计划是项目的一部分。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue STEM graduate programs and/or careers. The project at Savannah State University seeks to develop and implement an interdisciplinary undergraduate certificate program to educate students, including those from populations traditionally underrepresented in STEM disciplines, in technical, logistical, policy, research, and commerce-related issues of the transportation industry. Certificate recipients will be prepared to obtain career positions within the transportation industry, and thus help the U.S. economy remain competitive. The recruitment efforts include reaching out to high school students and exposing them to STEM subjects and their relationship to the transportation field. The project has the following three goals: 1) to strengthen existing curriculum content associated with transportation concepts to better prepare students for transportation careers; 2) to increase awareness, student enrollment, and retention in transportation studies and associated fields such as logistics, civil engineering, and homeland security; and 3) to develop and implement student and faculty enhancement programs, specifically related to transportation studies. The activities and strategies are evidence-based and a strong plan for formative and summative evaluation is part of the project.
