This $398,638 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to advance undergraduate STEM education through faculty training, resources, and support for adopting evidence-based instructional strategies. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include:

  • A structured professional development program, including two Mobile Summer Institutes (MOSI) in partnership with the National Institute on Scientific Teaching, to train 35 faculty across the College of Science and College of Engineering on active learning and other evidence-based pedagogies.
  • Competitive mini-grants for faculty to implement course innovations and participate in communities of practice supported by the university's Center for Teaching and Learning.
  • Efforts to foster a sustainable professional learning community, enhance teaching effectiveness, improve student engagement and outcomes, and advance institutional policies related to faculty recognition and reward systems for pedagogical change.

The project's goal is to increase faculty adoption of evidence-based teaching practices, particularly in high-enrollment STEM courses serving first-generation, transfer, and rural students, in order to support student success and build a skilled STEM workforce. Evaluation methods include faculty surveys, student feedback, and course performance data, with oversight by an external evaluator.
