项目摘要

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 Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) seeks to build on previous successful efforts to increase participation of African-American students in STEM disciplines. The goal of the project is to significantly improve student success rates in the STEM programs in the College of Science and Technology.The project focuses on the objectives to improve the academic preparedness of freshman STEM students so they are better equipped for the rigor of major courses, graduate school, and the global marketplace; and to increase retention and graduation rates of STEM majors. The following activities and strategies are designed in support of meeting the objectives: improving students' preparedness in mathematics early in the academic career; ensuring that students develop sound foundational knowledge in core disciplines; helping students develop positive attitudes about their ability to learn; placing students in effective learning environments; providing students with sufficient academic support resources throughout their academic career; and developing and enhancing critical thinking skills. These project strategies are evidence-based, but will be studied for effectiveness in the setting of this university. The project will be advised and evaluated for effectiveness by internal and external advisory boards and by a team of evaluators. The project at Florida A&M University can serve as a model for the sustainable transformation of the undergraduate STEM curriculum to incorporate evidence-based strategies and practices in STEM education for minority serving institutions.

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。该项目在佛罗里达农业和机械大学（FAMU）寻求建立在以前的成功努力，以增加非洲裔美国学生在STEM学科的参与。该项目的目标是显著提高学生在科学技术学院STEM课程的成功率。该项目的重点是提高大一STEM学生的学术准备，使他们更好地为专业课程的严格性，研究生院和全球市场做好准备;并提高STEM专业的保留率和毕业率。为支持实现这些目标，设计了以下活动和战略：提高学生在学术生涯早期的数学准备水平;确保学生在核心学科中发展良好的基础知识;帮助学生对自己的学习能力培养积极的态度;将学生置于有效的学习环境中;在学生的整个学术生涯中为学生提供充足的学术支持资源;培养和提高批判性思维能力。这些项目战略是以证据为基础的，但将在这所大学的环境中进行有效性研究。内部和外部咨询委员会以及一个评价小组将向该项目提供咨询意见，并对该项目的有效性进行评价。佛罗里达A M大学的项目可以作为本科STEM课程可持续转型的典范，将基于证据的战略和实践纳入少数民族服务机构的STEM教育。
