项目摘要

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 Fisk University seeks to improve the undergraduate STEM curriculum and help the University achieve its aspiration of developing a Bioinformatics/Biomathematics or Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB) major. The project's proposed curriculum innovation activities will serve as a testing ground for exploring the impact of teaching on student learning, retention in quantitative biology/mathematics/or computer science as majors, and selection of career pathways. This project will help to strengthen the research and learning culture and infrastructure at the University as it moves towards expanding into degree-granting biomathematics and bioinformatics programs. The project's activities are expected to increase interest in STEM fields, increase retention and progression in STEM disciplines, and will serve as a possible replicable model for other institutions that share a similar mission.The overall goal of the program is to enhance and strengthen the existing undergraduate curriculum for STEM majors by introducing computational and data-enabled active learning in mathematics, biology and computer science, integrated with a faculty-mentored summer research program. To achieve this goal, the following activities are proposed: develop and implement a bio-pre-calculus course in order to provide biology students a better understanding of the applications of algebraic and trigonometric fundamentals in biological problems; offer short (one credit) courses to teach programming languages--Python, R, Linux, and Galaxy--often used for biological data processing and data analysis; offer a summer research program to a selected pool of 6 rising sophomores, juniors or seniors with biology, mathematics or computer science major, to develop competence in research; and offer computational and bio-mathematical research seminars and colloquia featuring speakers from departments and programs across campus, plus invited guests from industry and other universities to emphasize the use of computing to solve complex biological problems and develop new insight. This combination of activities will provide a solid interdisciplinary link between mathematics, computer science and biology; foster quantitative and discovery based learning on the topics of life sciences; stimulate students' research interests by enhancing their programming skill; and increase student participation in classrooms through data-enabled- and case-study-oriented active learning.
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。该项目在菲斯克大学旨在改善本科STEM课程,并帮助大学实现其发展生物信息学/生物数学或定量和计算生物学(QCB)专业的愿望。该项目拟议的课程创新活动将作为一个试验场,探索教学对学生学习的影响,保留定量生物学/数学/或计算机科学作为专业,并选择职业道路。该项目将有助于加强大学的研究和学习文化和基础设施,因为它将扩展到授予学位的生物数学和生物信息学课程。该项目的活动预计将增加对STEM领域的兴趣,增加STEM学科的保留和进步,并将成为其他具有类似使命的机构的可能复制模式。该计划的总体目标是通过引入数学,生物学和计算机科学的计算和数据驱动的主动学习,增强和加强现有的STEM专业本科课程,与教师指导的夏季研究计划相结合。为了实现这一目标,提出了以下活动:开发和实施生物微积分前课程,以使生物学生更好地理解代数和三角函数基础在生物问题中的应用;提供简短的(一个学分)课程,教编程语言-Python,R,Linux和Galaxy-通常用于生物数据处理和数据分析;为选定的6名生物、数学或计算机科学专业的大二、大三或大四学生提供夏季研究项目,以培养研究能力;并提供计算和生物数学研究研讨会和座谈会,其演讲者来自校园内的各个部门和项目,此外,还邀请了来自工业界和其他大学的嘉宾,强调使用计算来解决复杂的生物问题,并开发新的见解。这些活动的结合将在数学、计算机科学和生物学之间提供坚实的跨学科联系;促进关于生命科学主题的定量和基于发现的学习;通过提高学生的编程技能来激发他们的研究兴趣;并通过数据支持和案例研究导向的主动学习来增加学生在课堂上的参与。
