Targeted Infusion Project: Development of a Computational and Engineering Mathematics Program Concentration at NCCU

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目支持开发，实施和基于证据的创新模式和方法的研究，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）研究生课程和/或职业。该项目在北卡罗来纳州中央大学（NCCU）旨在发展计算和工程数学的浓度。该项目旨在为本科生提供计算和工程数学的良好介绍，为他们在工业或研究生院的职位做好准备。该项目的目标是：将计算工程和数学技术注入现有的相关数学和物理课程;开发新的基于主题的计算和工程数学课程和实验室;与北卡罗来纳州州立大学建立一个3 + 2项目;开发一个计算工程和数学顶点设计项目;并为新的集中招收学生。集中的领域是：机器人工程，计算科学，数据科学，计算机工程，电气工程和工业工程。演示和评估如何将计算和工程应用的浓度整合到数学专业可以作为其他文科院校的典范。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) graduate programs and/or careers. The project at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) seeks to develop a concentration in Computational and Engineering Mathematics. The project intends to provide a sound introduction to computational and engineering mathematics to undergraduate students to prepare them for positions in industry or for graduate school. The activities and strategies are evidence-based and a strong plan for formative and summative evaluation is part of the project.This project has the objectives to: infuse computational engineering and mathematics techniques into relevant already existing mathematics and physics courses; develop new theme-based computational and engineering mathematics courses and laboratories; establish a 3-plus-2 program with North Carolina State University; develop a computational engineering and mathematics capstone design project; and recruit students for the new concentration. The areas of concentration are: robotics engineering, computational science, data science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, and industrial engineering. Demonstrating and evaluating how to integrate computational and engineering applications concentrations into a mathematics major could serve as a model to other liberal arts institutions.
