The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $399,998 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Southern University and A&M College, a historically black land-grant institution in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The grant will fund a "Targeted Infusion Project" to enhance the university's successful model for STEM education in the Electrical Engineering program. Key objectives include integrating cutting-edge technologies and industry-aligned projects into the undergraduate curriculum, providing students with hands-on experience through industry partnerships, and developing summer research programs and workshops for middle and high school students. The project will focus on emerging technology areas such as the Internet of Things, energy storage, renewable energy, robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. This award reflects NSF's mission to support the development, implementation, and study of innovative models for improving STEM education and career preparation, particularly at minority-serving institutions.
