MIE: JSU-Model Institution for Excellence Planning Proposal

9354158里昂，老 若干来源表明，六溴环十二烷是BS的主要来源。授予非裔美国人科学、工程和数学（SEM）学科的学位。 但情况正在迅速变化。 一些数据还表明，自1987年以来，HBCus授予非洲裔美国人的SEM学士学位一直在下降。 科学技术（JSU-SS T）的杰克逊州立大学学院正在提交一份规划拨款的建议，以制定彻底的，全面的示范机构卓越（MIE）实施项目，这将加强现有的计划，并在科学和技术创造新的优势领域。 规划补助金将提供资源，以系统的方式审查，评估和评价，目前正在使用的过程中的招聘保留，并在SEM教育的学生毕业。 将计划采用已证明成功的已知模式实施强化/纠正战略。 项目的总体目标是提高和加强JSU的SEM学位生产能力，提高SEM毕业生的数量，特别是少数民族高质量的科学家/工程师，他们可以为推进SEM知识的状态和解决社会的技术问题做出贡献。 具体重点将针对识别，增强或开发计划，以增加SEM招聘，入学，保留，毕业率和攻读研究生学位的学生。 预计所有方面的改善，最少会较一九八八至九二年度（五年）的平均改善一倍。 支持JSU MIE目标的活动包括：课程分析和重组，专业SEM学术课程的增强，新学位课程的开发，全面的SEM学生支持中心的开发，信息技术融入课程，以及教育/研究支持基础设施的增强。 杰克逊州立大学的管理是完全致力于MIE倡议的成功-规划阶段和实施。 项目主任是大学校长，联合项目主任是负责项目规划和实施的科学技术学院院长，这一事实证明了项目的承诺。 代表不同学科的几个教师负责项目规划和实施的关键组成部分。 大学校长领导的项目将激励整个大学及其各种支持机制的参与，以确保包容性、多样性和成功。 为了制定一个完整的，全面的建议，以建立一个示范机构，在JSU的卓越，共要求75 000美元。 为了维持联邦资助之外的项目运作，JSU MIE的关键战略是通过致力于MIE项目目标和连续性的行业合作伙伴的捐款建立和维持SEM捐赠。 一些行业合作伙伴的代表参加了这一规划进程，并表示将在整个开发和实施阶段继续提供支持。

9354158 Lyons, Sr. Several sources indicate that HBCUs have been the major source of B.S. degrees awarded to African-Americans i Science, Engineering and Mathematics (SEM) disciplines. But the situation is rapidly changing. Several data also suggests that SEM bachelor degrees awarded to African-Americans by HBCus has been declining since 1987. The Jackson State University School of Science & Technology (JSU-SS&T) is submitting a proposal for a planning grant to develop thorough, comprehensive Model Institution for Excellence (MIE) implementation project that will enhance existing programs and create new areas of strength in science and technology. The planning grant will provide resources to review, assess, and evaluate in a systematic way, the process presently being used in the recruitment retention, and graduation of students in SEM education. Enhanced/corrective strategies will be planned for implementation using known models which have proven successful. The overall project goal is to enhance and strengthen JSU's SEM degree-producing capacity all levels and increase the number of SEM graduates, especially minorities quality scientists/engineers who can contribute to advancing the state of SEM knowledge and address the technical problems of society. Specific focus will be directed toward identifying, enhancing, or developing programs to increase SEM recruitment, enrollment, retention, graduation rate, and students pursuing graduate degrees. It is expected that all areas will be improved by at least 100% over the 1988-92 (five-year) average. Activities to be developed in support of JSU MIE goals include: curricula analyses and restructuring, enhancement of specialized SEM academic programs, development of new degree programs, development of a comprehensive SEM student support center, integration of information technology into the curricula, and enhancement of the educational/research support infrastructure. Jackson State University's administrat ion is totally committed to the success of the MIE initiative - planning phase and implementation. It's commitment is demonstrated by the fact that the Project Director is the President of the University and the Co- Project Director is the Dean of the School of Science & Technology, the unit responsible for the planning and implementation of the project. Several faculty representing various disciplines are responsible for key components of project planning and implementation. The project leadership by the President of the University will stimulate involvement of the whole University, with its various support mechanisms, to ensure inclusion, diversity and success. To develop a complete, comprehensive proposal to establish a Model Institution for Excellence at JSU, a total of $75,000 is being requested. In an effort to sustain program operations beyond federal funding, the JSU MIE key strategy is to establish and maintain a SEM Endowment through contributions form industry partners committed to the MIE program goals and continuity. Several representatives from industry partners in this planning process and indicated continued support through the development and implementation phases.
