This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), funded under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076), supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based, innovative approaches to improve the preparation and success of undergraduate students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in pursuing STEM graduate programs and careers. The primary objectives of this $399,997 award to Tuskegee University, spanning September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, are to: 1) infuse self-contained deep learning modules into existing undergraduate computer science and engineering courses, 2) develop deep learning curriculum materials including lecture slides, demonstrations, hands-on labs, homework assignments, and quizzes, 3) offer introductory deep learning workshops open to all Tuskegee students, 4) provide academic year and summer research experiences, and 5) facilitate faculty professional development through workshops and webinars. The open-source educational materials and videos will be made available online for broad dissemination, and K-12 student outreach will be conducted to raise awareness of deep learning and artificial intelligence.
