Informatics as Targeted Infusion for Education and Research in the Sciences (iTIERS Program)

这个名为“信息学作为科学教育和研究的定向输注”（iTIERS）的定向输注项目将重点推进将跨学科信息学纳入摩根州立大学的本科课程。这将通过加强STEM学生的教学和研究基础设施来实现。为了实现这一总体目标，iTIERS项目有以下三个目标：1)增加接受iTIERS学术提升的STEM本科生的数量，以提高计算技能的培养；2)增加STEM学科的低年级学生的保留，因为他们继续获得iTIERS在信息学方面的学术提升；3)增加STEM学生学习更多信息学应用的机会，作为一种学术提升策略，以提高保留率、进步率和毕业率。iTIERS项目的重点是针对大一和大二的STEM学生，他们将通过结合导师、技术、STEM实验室练习和批判性思维活动来培养基本的计算技能。高水平的学生，谁以前教计算技能建设，将被引入跨学科信息学作为一种方式注入到他们的研究不同的方法和技术，算法开发和编程，数据集集成和分析。

The Targeted Infusion project entitled - Informatics as Targeted Infusion for Education and Research in the Sciences (iTIERS)- will focus on advancing the inclusion of interdisciplinary informatics in the undergraduate curriculum at Morgan State University. This will be accomplished through enhancement of the teaching and research infrastructure for STEM students. To achieve this overarching goal, the iTIERS project has the following three objectives: 1) to increase the number of undergraduate STEM students who receive iTIERS academic enhancement for the improvement of computation skills building; 2) to increase the retention of lower division students in STEM disciplines as they continue to receive iTIERS academic enhancement in informatics; and 3) to increase the number of opportunities in which STEM students can learn more about informatics applications as an academic enhancement strategy to increase retention, progression, and graduation rates. The focus of the iTIERS project is directed to freshmen and sophomore STEM students who will be engaged in fundamental computational skills building through the incorporation of mentors, technology, laboratory exercises in STEM, and critical thinking activities. Upper level students, who were previously taught computational skills building, will be introduced to interdisciplinary informatics as a way of infusing into their research different approaches and techniques to algorithmic development and programming, and dataset integration and analysis.
