项目摘要

This project aims to identify policies and practices that lead to increased representation, persistence, and graduation as well as attrition for Black students in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Engineering (CpE), and Mechanical Engineering (ME) and to make actionable recommendations for policymakers regarding best practices. The project team is investigating why Black students choose and persist in, or leave ME, EE, and CpE; how their academic pathways vary by gender and institution type; and what policies and practices promote greater retention of Black engineering students. The project will ultimately broaden understanding of the factors that have limited the full participation of Black students in EE, CpE and ME, and identify the positive factors that can attract and retain them in these fields.This project's intellectual merit is based on a mixed-methods research design that combines the quantitative power of large sample sizes (currently 300,000 students at 17 institutions) available from the Multiple-Institution Database for Investigating Engineering Longitudinal Development (MIDFIELD), the qualitative richness of in-depth student interviews, department and college administrator interviews, and detailed content analysis of institutional policies and contexts at two Historically Black Colleges and Universities and two Predominantly White Institutions. The researchers integrate three theories that have been used in prior work on under-represented minority students: critical race theory, community cultural wealth theory, and intersectionality. This approach will strengthen institutional and individual explanations of engineering student pathways and outcomes. A comprehensive dissemination plan will ensure that the study results reach a variety of audiences interested in diversifying engineering education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在确定政策和做法，导致增加代表性，持久性和毕业以及电气工程（EE），计算机工程（CpE）和机械工程（ME）的黑人学生的流失，并就最佳实践为决策者提出可行的建议。该项目小组正在调查为什么黑人学生选择和坚持，或离开ME，EE和CpE;他们的学术途径如何因性别和机构类型而异;以及什么政策和做法促进黑人工程专业学生的更大保留。该项目最终将扩大对限制黑人学生充分参与EE，CpE和ME的因素的理解，并确定可以吸引和留住他们在这些领域的积极因素。该项目的智力价值是基于混合方法的研究设计，结合了大样本量的定量力量（目前有300，000名学生在17个机构），可从多机构数据库调查工程纵向发展（中场），深入学生访谈，部门和学院管理人员访谈的定性丰富性，和详细的内容分析机构的政策和背景下，在两个历史上黑人学院和大学和两个占主导地位的白色机构。研究人员整合了三个理论，已在先前的工作中使用的代表性不足的少数民族学生：关键的种族理论，社区文化财富理论和交叉性。这种方法将加强工程专业学生的途径和成果的机构和个人的解释。一个全面的传播计划将确保研究结果达到多样化的工程教育感兴趣的各种观众。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
