Targeted Infusion Project: Enriching Student Learning through Biophysics and Music at Winston Salem State University

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。温斯顿塞勒姆州立大学的项目旨在通过整合物理，音乐和生物学来促进多学科学习，从而提高本科生的准备和成功。本科生作为研究人员参与该项目。该项目的目标是为本科生建立一个丰富的跨学科经验，通过课程重新设计，研究和推广，将物理，音乐和生物学交叉起来。将通过以下活动和战略实现这一目标：将重新设计一门题为“音乐物理学/声学”的课程，通过利用音乐加强物理学和生物学的学习，将主动学习纳入其中;本科生将与教师一起进行研究;和本科生将参与传播该项目的组成部分，通过演示文稿，为期一周的夏季研究计划，与K-12社区的互动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

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 Winston Salem State University seeks to improve undergraduate students' preparation and success by promoting multidisciplinary learning through integrating physics, music, and biology. Undergraduate students are involved in the project as researchers. This project has the goal to establish an enriching interdisciplinary experience for undergraduate students that intersects physics, music, and biology through course redesign, research, and outreach. This will be achieved through the following activities and strategies: a course entitled "Music Physics/Acoustics" will be redesigned to integrate active learning through the use of music to enhance learning in physics and biology; undergraduate students will conduct research with the faculty; and undergraduate students will be involved in disseminating the components of the project through presentations, a one-week summer research program, and interactions with the K-12 community. This project is guided by formative and summative evaluation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
