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 science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) graduate programs and/or careers. The project at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) seeks to improve students' preparation and success towards an engineering career or an advanced degree by infusing interdisciplinary risk and resilience training into undergraduate engineering education, especially in civil engineering. Undergraduate students are involved in the project as researchers, and outreach activities to high school and community college students are part of the project.This project has the objectives to: update the educational experiences in civil engineering and related STEM programs at UDC by integrating interdisciplinary knowledge and skills development in risk and resilience; enrich the undergraduate research experiences through creation of an interdisciplinary summer research program for resilient built environment; and increase the enrollment and retention rate in engineering programs through engaging students and outreach to local high schools and community colleges. This project will contribute to a diverse engineering workforce in the area of built environment. It is expected that at least 600 students will be directly impacted by this project.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.

历史悠久的黑人学院和大学通过有针对性的输液项目（HBCU-UP）支持了基于循证的创新模型和方法的开发，实施和研究，以改善HBCU本科生的准备和成功，以便他们可以追求科学，技术，工程，工程或数学或数学（STEM）毕业生和/或/或/或/或/或或/或或/或/或或/或或/或或/或或/或或/或/或/或/或/或或/或/或或/或护理人员。该项目的哥伦比亚大学（UDC）项目旨在通过将跨学科的风险和弹性培训注入本科工程教育，尤其是在土木工程中，以改善学生在工程职业或高级学位上的成功和成功。本科生以研究人员的身份参与了该项目，向高中和社区大学生进行外展活动是该项目的一部分。该项目的目标是：通过整合跨学科知识和技能的发展风险和弹性，更新UDC土木工程和相关STEM计划的教育经验； 通过创建跨学科夏季研究计划，以富含本科研究经验；并通过吸引学生并向当地高中和社区大学推广工程计划中的入学率和保留率。该项目将为建筑环境领域的各种工程劳动力做出贡献。预计至少有600名学生将直接受到该项目的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得支持。
