Education Research Project: An Empirical Investigation of the Success Factors Impacting African American Students in Engineering and Technology at Historically Black Universities

“HBCU-UP教育研究项目：影响hbcu工程和技术专业非裔美国学生成功因素的实证调查”旨在确定在hbcu注册的STEM学科中具有学术天赋的非裔美国学生成功的最重要因素。该研究将采用混合方法，利用定性和定量措施。调查人员将利用焦点小组、访谈、虚拟聊天以及基于网络的工具来收集信息。这个项目希望更好地理解如何构建大学体验，它不仅有可能影响hbcu，也有可能影响更广泛的学术界。

The HBCU-UP Education Research Project: An Empirical Investigation of the Success Factors Impacting African American Students in Engineering and Technology at HBCUs aims to identify factors that most significantly contribute to the success of academically gifted African American students in STEM disciplines enrolled at HBCUs. The study will apply a mixed methods approach utilizing qualitative and quantitative measures. The investigators will utilize focus groups, interviews, virtual chats, as well as web based instruments to gather information.This project hopes to better understand how to structure the collegiate experience, and has the potential of impacting not only HBCUs, but also the wider academic community.
