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 Clark Atlanta University seeks to improve faculty and students’ teaching and learning experience by revising the sophomore organic chemistry courses to include technological interventions. The project aims to hone students’ ability to utilize and apply advanced technologies to ultimately, increase student preparedness for future STEM graduate and career opportunities.The goals of this project are to: (1) enhance the quality of the sophomore organic chemistry courses by implementing new technology including visualization, computation, active learning, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality (VC+ALAIVR) and (2) implement the evidence-based practices of faculty-graduate student team mentoring and early intervention/advising. The team of faculty, graduate student teaching assistants (GTAs) and supplemental instructors (SI) will work collaboratively in creating a question bank of 5,000+ questions for student use. CAU’s undergraduate students will use cyberinfrastructure technological tools for learning organic chemistry. Professional training for the faculty, coupled with the questions database with answers and multimedia tools/presentations has the potential to impact hundreds of students via delivery of the courses with technology implementation.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项目（HBCU- up）通过有针对性的输液项目支持基于证据的创新模式和方法的开发、实施和研究，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求科学、技术、工程或数学（STEM）研究生课程和/或职业。克拉克亚特兰大大学的这个项目旨在通过修改二年级有机化学课程，将技术干预纳入其中，从而改善教师和学生的教学体验。该项目旨在磨练学生利用和应用先进技术的能力，最终提高学生为未来的STEM毕业生和就业机会做好准备。本项目的目标是：(1)通过可视化、计算、主动学习、人工智能和虚拟现实（VC+ALAIVR）等新技术的应用，提高二年级有机化学课程的质量；(2)实施基于证据的师研团队指导和早期干预/建议实践。由教师、研究生助教（GTAs）和补充讲师（SI）组成的团队将共同努力，创建一个包含5000多个问题的题库，供学生使用。中国农业大学的本科生将使用网络基础设施技术工具学习有机化学。教师的专业培训，加上带有答案的问题数据库和多媒体工具/演示，通过技术实施课程的交付，有可能影响数百名学生。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。
