Targeted Infusion Project in Interdisciplinary Data Analytics (TIP-IDA)

历史黑人学院和大学本科项目(HBCU-UP)通过有针对性的灌输项目，支持基于证据的创新模式和方法的开发、实施和研究，以改善HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们能够攻读科学、技术、工程或数学(STEM)研究生课程和/或职业。萨凡纳州立大学的这个项目旨在通过实施跨学科数据分析的本科生证书计划来加强本科教育。该项目旨在让学生在各自学科的数据分析方法和工具方面做好准备，进行有意义的研究并形成管理见解。这些活动和战略是以证据为基础的，一个强有力的形成性和终结性评估计划是该项目的一部分。该项目覆盖了科技学院、工商管理学院和人文社会科学学院。这些战略和活动围绕三个目标展开：加强与数据分析相关的课程，以增强学生在数据分析职业生涯中的准备；提高数据分析的意识、学生的入学率和保留率；以及开展教职员工和学生发展活动，以增强数据分析工具和方法的知识。本科生将与教师导师密切合作，开展数据分析领域的跨学科研究。该项目拥有强大的行业合作伙伴，预计将满足对受过数据分析培训的劳动力日益增长的需求。

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 Savannah State University seeks to enhance undergraduate education by implementing an undergraduate certificate program in interdisciplinary data analytics. The project aims to prepare students in data analytics methodologies and tools in their respective disciplines, conduct meaningful research and formulate managerial insights. The activities and strategies are evidence-based and a strong plan for formative and summative evaluation is part of the project.The project reaches across the Colleges of Science and Technology, Business Administration, and Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. The strategies and activities center around three goals which are: to strengthen the curriculum associated with data analytics to enhance student preparedness in data analytic careers; to increase awareness, student enrollment, and retention in data analytics; and to conduct faculty and student development activities that enhance knowledge of data analytical tools and methods. Undergraduate students will work closely with faculty mentors to conduct interdisciplinary research in data analytics. The project has strong industry partners and is expected to address the growing demand for a workforce trained in data analytics.
