This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve undergraduate student success in general, organic, and biological (GOB) chemistry courses, which are important gateway courses for health-related careers. The project team from Carnegie Mellon University and Mount San Antonio College will develop integrated online courseware and in-class active learning materials tailored to allied health contexts. The $273,392 award will support the development, implementation, and evaluation of these educational resources, as well as the cultivation of a community of practice among GOB instructors. Key goals include enhancing student learning and course success, particularly for underrepresented groups in STEM, and providing free access to the online courseware for independent learners. The project team will leverage detailed student interaction data to iteratively refine the courseware and identify factors that influence student learning and success in GOB chemistry.
