Minority Institutions Infrastructure: Computer Science at Fisk University - Expanding the Minority Pipeline

[98106773] eschen, Elaine M.Fielder, Vivian j .菲斯克大学CISE少数族裔机构基础设施项目：菲斯克计算机科学：扩展少数族裔管道这个特殊项目由两个局（CISE和EHR）和各个部门（C-CR， DUE， EIA， IIS）的七个项目联合资助，包括开发和评估新课程“探索计算机科学”，并使用CSAB标准为课程的总体升级提供指导。此外，该项目支持pi在这所少数民族大学的优势研究领域制定RUI提案，并有助于在女性和非洲裔学生数量远远不足的领域培养更多的非洲裔美国女性。算法设计和分析，重点是图形算法，生物医学计算，重点是仿真和建模，软件和硬件设计，以及系统和组织，将在即将开发的RUI提案中具体解决。加强菲斯克研究；因此，HBCU的学生也将如此。通过这一努力，菲斯克大学有望进一步发展其涉及更多少数族裔学生的计算科学研究能力，为最终增加未被充分代表的学位铺平道路。希望通过这些努力，国家可以找到一个成功的模式，帮助建立一个更好的种族和民族平衡的技术企业，造福于当代和后代。

9810673Eschen, Elaine M.Fielder, Vivian J.Fisk UniversityCISE Minority Institutions Infrastructure Program: Computer Science at Fisk: Expanding the Minoriy PipelineThis special project, funded by a combination of seven programs from two directorates (CISE and EHR) and various divisions (C-CR, DUE, EIA, IIS), includes the development and evaluation of a new course, "Exploring Computer Science," and use of CSAB criteria to provide guidance for general upgrade of the curriculum. Moreover, the project supports in PIs in developing RUI proposals in those research areas of strength in this minority university, and contributes to develop more African American women in areas where the number of women and African American students are far from numerous. Algorithm Design and Analysis, with emphasis in Graph Algorithms, and Biomedical Computing, with emphasis in Simulation and Modeling, Software and Hardware Design, as well as, Systems and Organizations, will be addressed specifically in the RUI proposals that will be developed. The Fisk Research will be strengthened; consequently so will the students in this HBCU. Through this effort, Fisk University is expected to develop further its computing science research capabilities involving minority students in greater numbers, paving the way for eventual increase in underrepresented degrees in the pipeline. It is hoped that through these efforts, the nation might find a successful model that will help in building a better racially and ethnically balanced technological enterprise for the benefit of its present and future generations.
