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.

历史黑人学院和大学本科项目(HBCU-UP)通过有针对性的灌输项目，支持基于证据的创新模式和方法的开发、实施和研究，以改善HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们能够攻读STEM研究生课程和/或职业。萨凡纳州立大学的这个项目旨在开发和实施一个跨学科的本科证书项目，以教育学生，包括那些在STEM学科中传统上代表性不足的学生，在运输行业的技术、物流、政策、研究和商业相关问题上。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科目以及他们与交通领域的关系。该项目有以下三个目标：1)加强与交通概念相关的现有课程内容，为学生的交通职业生涯做好更好的准备；2)提高人们对交通研究及其相关领域(如物流、土木工程和国土安全)的认识、招生人数和留存率；3)开发和实施学生和教师增强计划，特别是与交通研究相关的项目。活动和战略是以证据为基础的，形成和总结性评价的强有力计划是该项目的一部分。
