The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $398,946 Project Grant to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076). The grant supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based, innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of undergraduate students at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in pursuing STEM graduate programs and careers. Specifically, the project aims to implement online, experiential information and electronics technology courses using augmented and virtual reality technologies at NC A&T to investigate the impact on student success, retention, and engagement, particularly among underrepresented groups in STEM fields. The project contributes to advancing the knowledge of future recruiters and researchers on the efficacy of immersive technologies in enhancing online STEM education at HBCUs and other institutions.
