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 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. The project at Fayetteville State University seeks to build on previous successful efforts to increase the participation of African-American students in STEM disciplines. The goal of this project is to significantly improve recruitment, persistence, retention and graduation rates for STEM undergraduate students. The project will utilize evidence-based, high-impact pedagogical practices to improve student learning and outcomes. The practices include: a professional seminar course sequence; assessment-based adaptive mathematics courses; student-centered active learning environment upside-down pedagogies; intrusive peer tutoring and supplemental instruction; and undergraduate research. The project will study the impact and efficacy of the flipped classroom and determine effect sizes of its adoption by examining students' perceptions, learning and outcomes. The project will be advised and evaluated for effectiveness by internal and external advisory boards and an evaluator.

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。费耶特维尔州立大学的项目旨在以先前的成功努力为基础，增加非裔美国学生对STEM学科的参与。 该项目的目标是显着提高STEM本科生的招聘，坚持，保留和毕业率。该项目将利用循证的、高影响力的教学实践来改善学生的学习和成果。这些做法包括：专业研讨会课程序列;基于评估的自适应数学课程;以学生为中心的主动学习环境颠倒教学法;侵入式同伴辅导和补充教学;和本科研究。该项目将研究翻转课堂的影响和功效，并通过检查学生的感知、学习和成果来确定采用翻转课堂的效果大小。将由内部和外部咨询委员会和一名评价员向该项目提供咨询意见，并对该项目的有效性进行评价。
