Project
Overview
This program seeks to enhance the quality of undergraduate science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at Historically
Black Colleges and Universities as a means to broaden participation
in the Nation's STEM workforce. The program provides support for
the implementation of comprehensive institutional strategies to
strengthen STEM teaching and learning in ways that improve access
to and retention of underrepresented groups in STEM disciplines.
Typical project implementation strategies include STEM course
and curricular reform and enhancement, faculty professional development,
supervised research and other active learning experiences for
STEM undergraduates, student support, scientific instrumentation
to improve STEM instruction, and other activities.
Programs for the Retention and
Enrichment of Science, Engineering and Mathematics students (PRESEMs)
Claflin University is guided by
its mission to provide each student with a professional education
designed to produce graduates who understand themselves, as well
as the historical and social forces which impact their world.
The basis of this program draws on the university’s mission
statement thus assuring that faculty support students in learning
not only science facts, but:
•
the method and process of research
• what scientists and engineers do,
• how to make informed judgments about technical matters,
and
• how to communicate and work in teams to solve complex
problems
