Academic Excellence Through Research and Mentoring

邵逸夫大学的HBCU-UP项目，通过研究和指导，旨在提高STEM专业的研究生录取质量，增加高中和社区大学的少数民族学生进入邵逸夫大学的STEM项目，建设包括测试/辅导中心在内的技术基础设施，并提供教师发展活动，以增加拨款能力和本科生的研究参与。Shaw大学概述了一项积极的招聘计划，包括家庭支持活动、指导、跟踪和丰富学术项目，如实习、实地考察和出席会议。该项目的学术部分将专注于加强技术基础设施和传统的数学和物理把关课程。资金将用于装备一个考试和辅导中心以及教室，并改善生活环境，以支持STEM学生的生活学习社区。技术改进将与课程倡议密切相关，课堂教学将通过使用克拉克亚特兰大大学开发的电脑化学习系统而得到加强。该交付系统包括多媒体讲稿、在线测试和管理。其他课程改善包括一般化学课程的发现式教学，以及创新的物理实验。这项推行计划的学院发展活动，将集中于加强教师获取和管理拨款的能力，以及增加教师参与本科生的研究活动。

Shaw University's HBCU-UP project, Academic Excellence through Research and Mentoring, is aimed at enhancing the quality of STEM majors for admission to graduate schools, increase the flow of minority students from high schools and community colleges into STEM programs at Shaw University, build technology infrastructure including a testing/tutorial center and provide faculty development activities to increase grant capability and undergraduate research involvement.Shaw University has outlined an aggressive recruitment plan which includes family support activities, mentoring, tracking, and providing enrichment to the academic program such as internships, field trips, and conference attendance.The academic component of the project will focus on strengthening the technology infrastructure and the traditional gatekeeper courses in mathematics and physics. Funds will be used to equip a testing and tutorial center, as well as classrooms, and enhancing the living environment to support STEM student living-learning communities. The technology enhancement will be closely linked to the curriculum initiatives.The classroom instruction will be enhanced with the use of the computerized learning system developed at Clark Atlanta University. This delivery system includes multimedia lecture notes, and online testing and management. Other curriculum enhancements will include discovery approach for general chemistry courses, as well as innovative physics experiments.Faculty development activities in this implementation project will focus on strengthening faculty ability to obtain and manage grant funds, as well as increase faculty involvement in undergraduate research activities.
