HBCU Computer Science Faculty Workshop 2018

这个工作坊将有三个焦点--教育学、学生成功和助学金写作。这次研讨会将帮助历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)的教职员工通过参与更多的拨款撰写来提高他们的研究生产率，同时继续他们作为有效顾问和教育者的使命。增加获得计算机、信息科学和工程学位的人数不足的群体的数量，对国家的经济竞争力至关重要。为少数族裔服务的学院和大学在计算机和信息科学与工程专业的学士学位毕业生中所占比例不成比例：HBCU只占所有四年制学院和大学的3%，但11.4%的计算机和信息科学学士学位授予非裔美国人。HBCU的师资对HBCU学生在计算机和信息科学领域的成功至关重要。调查人员将利用联合国黑人大学基金创新峰会向研讨会与会者介绍当前和新兴的主题，这些主题可以创造更具竞争力的提案主题(和写作)，影响教学以提高学生留存率，并激发通常参加年度活动的机构领导人的兴趣。一份事前和事后的调查将被用来评估拟议工作的有效性。这一奖励反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This workshop will have three foci - pedagogy, student success and grant writing. This workshop will assist Historically Black College and University (HBCU) faculty in improving their research productivity by engaging in increased grant writing while continuing their mission to be effective advisors and educators. Increasing the number of underrepresented groups earning computer and information science and engineering degrees is critical to the nation's economic competitiveness. Minority-serving colleges and universities produce a disproportionate share of bachelor's degree graduates in computer and information science and engineering: HBCUs are only 3 percent of all 4-year colleges and universities, but awarded 11.4 percent of bachelor's degrees in computer and information science to African Americans. HBCU faculty are extremely important to the success of HBCU students in computer and information science. The investigators will leverage the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) Innovation Summit to introduce workshop attendees to current and emerging topics that can create more competitive proposal topics (and writing), impact pedagogy to improve student retention and generate the interest of institutional leaders who typically attend the annual event. A pre-and-post survey will be used to assess the effectiveness of the proposed work.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.
