TSU College of Science and Technology Enhancement Program (STEP)

德克萨斯州南部大学(TSU)向NSF历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划(HBCU UP)提出了一项科学技术增强计划(STEP)一年规划拨款。其目标是通过提高大学教学和学生学习的质量，提高科学、数学、工程和技术(SMET)领域本科生的招生率、保留率和毕业率。台州州立大学的这一步骤将通过四(4)项计划推进来实现这一总体目标：为了学术成功而招收和留住学生，在教学和学术成就方面发展教师，通过使用技术进行课程改革，以及评估和评估国家科学基金会资助以外的可持续性。这些方案努力将具有可衡量的目标和时间表，以实现技术支助股步骤的总体目标。在这一为期一年的规划期间，台湾省理工学院将制定一项全面的科学技术招聘和留用计划。通过为科技学院设立企业和专业咨询委员会，并为每个院系设立一个特定学科的咨询委员会，行业将成为S与技术项目不可或缺的一部分。将制定全面的计划，以技术辅助教师教学，提高他们的研究能力。每个本科生的学术计划都会建议改进他们的课程，以提高教育质量。将制定一项评估和评价计划，以便在国家科学基金资金到期后，TSU的步骤将是可持续的。

Texas Southern University (TSU) proposes a Science and Technology Enhancement Program (STEP) One-Year Planning Grant to the NSF Historically Black College and University Undergraduate Program (HBCU UP). The objective is to increase the recruitment, retention and graduation rates of students in undergraduate programs in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SMET) areas through quality enhancements of teaching and student learning at the University. The TSU STEP will achieve this overall objective through four (4) programmatic thrusts: Student recruitment and retention for academic success, Faculty development in teaching and scholarly achievements, Curricular reforms through use of technology, and Assessment and evaluation for sustainability beyond NSF funding. These programmatic thrusts will have measurable goals and timelines to achieve the overall objectives of the TSU STEP. During this one-year planning period the TSU STEP will develop a comprehensive recruitment and retention plan for science and technology. Industry will become an integral part of the S&T programs trough establishing a Corporate and Professional Advisory Committee for the College of Science and Technology and a discipline specific one for each department. Comprehensive plans to assist faculty teaching with technology and enhancing their research capacity will be developed. Each undergraduate academic program will recommend improvements in their curriculum to enhance the quality of the education. An assessment and evaluation plan will be developed such that the TSU STEP will be sustainable after NSF funding has expired.
