Programs for the Retention and Enrichment of Science, Engineering and Mathematics students

克拉夫林大学是南卡罗来纳州历史最悠久的黑人学院和大学，它将实施一个名为“保留和丰富科学、工程和数学学生的计划”（PRESEMs）的项目。这个为期五年的项目包括一项全面的方法，以加强克拉夫林大学的本科科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教学和研究基础设施，目标是扩大代表性不足的少数民族在STEM学科和劳动力中的参与。presem将侧重于提高学生在STEM中的学习方法，如同伴主导的教学、基于问题的学习和基于研究的课程。积极招收学生，提供有效的大学前推广和夏季充实计划，实施计划以增加门卫课程的成功完成，通过现代化仪器，实验室和教室来加强本科STEM课程，利用本科研究作为教学工具-这些都是实现制度改革所需的策略，同时为学生的研究生学习和STEM领域的成功职业生涯做好准备。

Claflin University, the oldest Historically Black College & University in the state of South Carolina will implement the project entitled: "Programs for the Retention and Enrichment of Science, Engineering and Mathematics Students" (PRESEMs). This five-year project consists of a comprehensive approach to strengthen Claflin University's undergraduate science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research infrastructure with the goal of broadening the participation of underrepresented minorities in the STEM disciplines and workforce. PRESEMs will focus on approaches that enhance student learning in STEM, such as peer-led instruction, problem-based learning, and a research-based curriculum. Aggressively recruiting students, offering effective pre-college outreach and summer enrichment programs, implementing programs to increase successful completion of gate-keeper courses, enhancing undergraduate STEM curricula by modernizing instrumentation, laboratories and classrooms, utilizing undergraduate research as a teaching tool - these are the strategies required to bring about institutional reform while preparing students for graduate study and successful careers in STEM fields.
