This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant for $497,620 awarded to Miami-Dade College aims to provide undergraduate research opportunities for students at a minority-serving two-year college to better prepare them for STEM degree programs and careers. Over three years, the project will engage 75 students majoring in applied mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, or engineering in research experiences, with at least 50% transferring to a four-year institution within two years. The project seeks to generate knowledge about student satisfaction, persistence, and career readiness in STEM fields, particularly for historically underrepresented groups. Miami-Dade College plans to leverage the grant to improve students' understanding of STEM subjects and their real-world applications, as well as produce novel academic and scientific knowledge through dissemination and publication of the research findings. The project also includes subawards to the University of Florida and Texas A&M University-Commerce to support adaptations of Miami-Dade College's artificial intelligence curriculum.
