Joint Conference Convening of the HBCU STEM-US CEEQA: Leveraging Collaboration and Partnerships to Impact Research and Quality Assurance in STEM

传统黑人学院和大学本科项目（HBCUs）资助研讨会，作为讨论和传播HBCUs在科学、技术、工程和数学教育方面的最佳实践的一种手段。莫尔豪斯学院的会议旨在研究hbcu对STEM本科教育的贡献，并促进知识转移，这对于促进使用最佳评估实践以理解和扩展hbcu STEM教育的有效模式至关重要。来自40所hbcu的60名教职员工和研究人员将参加会议。会议将通过以下方式完成规划和知识转移议程：1)举办实践研讨会，讨论实施和研究新的教育策略，如基于课程的本科研究经验、实用科学素养课程和评估的最佳实践；2)通过提案开发培训进行教师能力建设；3)关于中心范围内的研究活动和定义学生成功的主题演讲；4)海报会议，用于交流和分享想法；5)发现和传播hbcu可以使用数据来告知和加强STEM教育的方法；6)为规划未来的活动、知识转移和推广提供场所。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。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities-Undergraduate Program (HBCUs) funds workshops as a means of discussing and disseminating best practices in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education at HBCUs. The conference by Morehouse college seeks to examine the contributions of HBCUs to STEM undergraduate education and facilitate knowledge transfer that is essential to promote the use of best assessment practices to understand and expand an effective model for STEM education at HBCUs. The conference will be attended by sixty faculty members and researchers from forty HBCUs. The conference will accomplish the planning and knowledge transfer agenda by: 1) presenting hands-on workshops on implementing and researching new educational strategies, such as course-based undergraduate research experiences, utilitarian Scientific Literacy curriculum, and best practices for assessment and evaluation; 2) building faculty capacity through proposal development training; 3) keynote presentations about center-wide research activities and defining student success; 4) poster sessions for networking and sharing ideas; 5) discovering and disseminating ways that HBCUs can use data to inform and strengthen STEM education; and 6) providing a venue for planning future activities, knowledge transfer and outreach.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.
