Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) provide support to design, implement, and assess strategies that can lead to comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the number of students receiving undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. This project seeks to establish the foundation for a program for "Data Science and Analytics Advancing STEM Education at North Carolina A&T State University". The goal of this integrated, multidisciplinary undergraduate program is to use data science and analytics to train undergraduate students in data science and analytics through computationally intensive tools and global research and education experiences. This project seeks to transform teaching and learning through evidence-based STEM gateway course reform. Activities that are part of this project are: broadening student access and participation in data science education; strengthening undergraduate research experiences in data science; engaging faculty in research and scholarship; and developing an educational research pilot project. The project will be guided by an on-going evaluation and external and internal steering committees. Since African Americans are severely underrepresented in this field, the project can have great impact on diversifying the workforce.

历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）提供支持，以设计，实施和评估战略，可以导致全面的机构努力，以增加获得科学，技术，工程和数学（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。该项目旨在为“数据科学和分析促进北卡罗来纳州AT州立大学的STEM教育”项目奠定基础。 这个综合的多学科本科课程的目标是使用数据科学和分析，通过计算密集型工具和全球研究和教育经验来培训数据科学和分析方面的本科生。该项目旨在通过循证STEM网关课程改革来改变教学和学习。 该项目的活动包括：扩大学生对数据科学教育的接触和参与;加强本科生在数据科学方面的研究经验;让教师参与研究和奖学金;以及开发教育研究试点项目。该项目将由一个持续的评价以及外部和内部指导委员会提供指导。由于非裔美国人在这一领域的代表性严重不足，该项目可以对劳动力的多样化产生重大影响。
