项目摘要

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program provides support to design, implement, study and assess efforts to increase the numbers of students and the quality of their preparation by strengthening science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and research. This project at Tuskegee University provides a strategic approach to infuse selected courses in aerospace engineering, biology, mathematics, mechanical engineering, and physics with immersive virtual reality lessons. Undergraduate students are involved in this project as researchers. This two-year pilot project has the goals to determine the impact of integrating virtual reality in the learning environment of undergraduate STEM education, to identify challenges and determine limitations of virtual reality technology in STEM undergraduate education, and to establish best practices of this pedagogical approach. The project will achieve these goals by: establishing an infrastructure with the required hardware and software to develop, test and implement virtual reality-based lessons on selected STEM topics; reinforcing STEM concepts through experimental and hands-on technology-based learning activities; increasing student engagement utilizing the interactive learning experience; and improving the learning outcomes of students with the virtual reality technology-infused STEM courses. The project will study the efficacy of this intervention using qualitative and quantitative measures. The project will be guided by formative and summative evaluation.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.

历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科生方案通过加强科学、技术、工程和数学教育和研究，为设计、实施、研究和评估旨在增加学生人数及其准备质量的努力提供支持。塔斯基吉大学的这个项目提供了一种战略方法，将航空航天工程，生物学，数学，机械工程和物理学中的选定课程与沉浸式虚拟现实课程融合在一起。本科生作为研究人员参与该项目。这个为期两年的试点项目的目标是确定将虚拟现实整合到本科STEM教育的学习环境中的影响，确定STEM本科教育中虚拟现实技术的挑战和局限性，并建立这种教学方法的最佳实践。该项目将通过以下方式实现这些目标：建立一个具有所需硬件和软件的基础设施，以开发、测试和实施选定STEM主题的虚拟现实课程;通过实验和实践技术学习活动加强STEM概念;利用互动学习体验提高学生参与度;以及通过虚拟现实技术注入STEM课程提高学生的学习成果。该项目将使用定性和定量措施研究这种干预措施的效力。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
