信息技术劳动力(ITWF)提案ID：EIA-0119880调查者：罗恩·埃格拉什机构：伦斯勒理工学院标题：文化背景工具该奖项为伦斯勒理工学院(RPI)开发文化背景设计工具提供支持，以激励少数民族学生学习数学和从事信息技术职业。这些工具将被整合到标准课程中，供伦斯勒理工学院当地准备计划(美国教育部的本科早期意识和准备计划)的大约1000名中学生使用。将在三年内对设计工具的使用情况进行评估，评估结果将广泛传播。

Information Technology Workforce (ITWF)Proposal Id: EIA-0119880Investigator: Ron EglashInstitution: Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteTitle: Culturally Situated ToolsThis award provides support for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to develop culturally-situated design tools to motivate ethnic minority students to learn mathematics and to pursue careers in Information Technology. The tools will be integrated into standard curricula for use by approximately one thousand middle school students in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's local GEAR-UP program (the U.S. Department of Education's Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Program). The use of the design tools will be evaluated over a 3-year period and the results will be disseminated widely.
