项目摘要

Implementation Projects in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate program provide support to design, implement, study and assess comprehensive institutional 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 implementation project at Dillard University provides a multilayered approach to broaden opportunities for African-American students to succeed in STEM majors. The focus of the project is on retaining and graduating students in STEM fields and preparing them for graduate school or the workforce. The project is guided and informed by an on-going evaluation, as well as by internal and external advisory committees.The project has the goals to: increase the number of students applying to Dillard with STEM as their intended majors, and increase the number of students retained year-to-year through deliberate on-ramping and monitoring of students' course progression; improve preparation of STEM majors through curriculum redesign and technology-infused coursework; and strengthen Dillard's research and workforce development efforts and further develop research experiences for undergraduate STEM students. To achieve these goals, the project will utilize innovative strategies to recruit high school students with STEM interests; provide a bridge program to on-ramp incoming freshman students with STEM major aspirations; redesign gateway courses and enhance existing student supports to retain STEM majors; and provide research and workforce development opportunities for both STEM faculty and students. These holistic approaches will demonstrate a reliable performance model for small colleges and universities that are concerned about recruiting, retaining, and preparing undergraduate STEM majors for the next step.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.

传统黑人学院和大学的实施项目-本科项目为设计，实施，研究和评估全面的机构努力提供支持，通过加强科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教育和研究来增加学生人数和他们的准备质量。迪拉德大学的这个实施项目提供了一个多层次的方法，为非裔美国学生在STEM专业取得成功提供了更多的机会。该项目的重点是留住和毕业STEM领域的学生，并为他们进入研究生院或工作做好准备。该项目由正在进行的评价以及内部和外部咨询委员会指导和提供信息。该项目的目标是：增加申请迪拉德理工学院STEM专业的学生人数，并通过有意的入学和监控学生的课程进展，逐年增加学生的保留率；通过重新设计课程和融入技术的课程，改善STEM专业学生的准备工作；加强迪拉德的研究和劳动力发展工作，并进一步为STEM本科生发展研究经验。为了实现这些目标，该项目将采用创新策略招募对STEM感兴趣的高中生；为有STEM专业抱负的新生提供桥梁项目；重新设计入门课程，加强对现有学生的支持，以留住STEM专业学生；并为STEM教师和学生提供研究和劳动力发展机会。这些整体方法将为小型学院和大学展示一个可靠的绩效模型，这些学院和大学关注招聘、保留和为下一步的本科STEM专业做好准备。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
