Planning: HBCU-UP: OPEN: Planning the Use of Strategic Partnerships to Build Pipelines for CHIPS through Morehouse College

传统黑人学院和大学本科项目（HBCU-UP）为加强hbcu的STEM本科教育和研究提供支持。该计划项目赞助莫尔豪斯学院的活动，以加强其与佐治亚理工学院现有的谅解备忘录（MoU），为非裔美国男性开发芯片相关专业的管道。这项具体的努力将使莫尔豪斯计算机科学系和佐治亚理工学院计算机工程系的工作保持一致，以实施一个双学位工程项目，使双方机构和他们所服务的学生都受益。参与项目的学生将获得莫尔豪斯大学的计算机科学学士学位和佐治亚理工学院的计算机工程学士学位。该规划项目的主要目标是确保该项目在招生方面具有吸引力；为学生在莫尔豪斯和佐治亚理工学院的学习中取得成功提供必要的准备；并为他们准备以芯片为重点的职业和/或研究生院的机会。规划补助金的其他目标是确定资金来源，让感兴趣的学生早在高中就做好准备，并让家长了解2022年CHIPS和科学法案提供的机会。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 (HBCU-UP) provides support to strengthen STEM undergraduate education and research at HBCUs. This planning project sponsors activities for Morehouse College to enhance its existing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Georgia Tech to develop a pipeline for African American males in CHIPS-related professions. This specific effort will align the work of the Morehouse Computer Science Department and the Georgia Tech Computer Engineering Department to implement a dual-degree engineering program to benefit both institutions and the students they serve. Participating students will earn a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Morehouse and a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from Georgia Tech.The primary objectives of this planning project are ensuring this program is attractive in recruiting students; providing the necessary preparation for students to be successful in their studies at both Morehouse and Georgia Tech; and preparing them for CHIPS-focused career and/or graduate school opportunities. Additional goals of the planning grant are to identify funding sources, prepare interested students as early as high school, and bring awareness to parents about the opportunities provided by the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.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.
