Catalyst Projects provide support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) to work towards establishing research capacity of faculty to strengthen science, technology, engineering and mathematics undergraduate education and research. It is expected that the award will further the faculty member's research capability, improve research and teaching at the institution, and involve undergraduate students in research experiences. The project at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) seeks to increase undergraduate matriculation in the institution’s Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering program. The PI intends to implement integrative persistence models that are specific to the department, enhance mathematics education, and recruit and retain more students who are typically underrepresented in the discipline. This project incorporates next generation educational directions for employing evidence-based active STEM learning practices targeting perseverance in Freshman and Sophomores (Froshmores). The specific objectives of the project are (1) to understand the role of augmented reality in conceptualized learning of calculus for STEM targeted skill attainment in the Froshmore years, (2) to assist with research integration for acquiring critical thinking skills, and (3) to provide industry advocacy as an enhanced professional student model level to improve retention of Froshmore students at FAMU. The methods employ targeted inclusion and retention of women through a two-semester course incorporating (1) inductive learning techniques and (2) course-based undergraduate research experiences, also known as CUREs. Novel learning practices, such as augmented reality tools (e.g. guided book and media materials) are used to created conceptualized math curriculum for learning and retention. The FAMU Catalyst award will assess the impact of the program on guiding Froshmores through nascent STEM careers. The project will use evidence-based, critical-thinking assessments to educate faculty about continuous improvement needs of the curriculum and engage students in active problem-solving scenarios. A broader element of the project is the Industry advocacy panel (community engagement) which will assist in student mentorship, badge certifications and provide research-based projects.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.

催化剂项目为历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）提供支持，努力建立教师的研究能力，以加强科学，技术，工程和数学本科教育和研究。预计该奖项将进一步提高教师的研究能力，改善研究和教学机构，并参与本科生的研究经验。该项目在佛罗里达农业和机械大学（FAMU）旨在提高本科预科在该机构的工业和制造工程计划。 PI打算实施特定于该部门的综合持久性模型，加强数学教育，并招募和留住更多通常在该学科中代表性不足的学生。 该项目纳入了下一代教育方向，用于采用基于证据的积极STEM学习实践，目标是大一和大二学生（Froshmores）的毅力。 该项目的具体目标是（1）了解增强现实在概念化学习微积分中的作用，以实现Froshmore年的STEM目标技能，（2）协助研究整合以获得批判性思维技能，以及（3）提供行业宣传作为增强的专业学生模型水平，以提高Froshmore学生在FAMU的保留率。这些方法通过两个学期的课程有针对性地包容和保留妇女，课程包括（1）归纳学习技巧和（2）基于课程的本科生研究经验，也称为CURE。新颖的学习实践，如增强现实工具（如指导书和媒体材料）被用来创建概念化的数学课程，用于学习和保留。 FAMU催化剂奖将评估该计划对引导Froshmores通过新生STEM职业的影响。该项目将使用基于证据的批判性思维评估，教育教师对课程的持续改进需求，并让学生积极解决问题。该项目的一个更广泛的元素是行业宣传小组（社区参与），将协助学生指导，徽章认证和提供基于研究的项目。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为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来支持。
