TALENT-21:
Gateway for Advancing Science and Mathematics Talent, at North
Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is funded by the
National Science Foundation HBCU Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP). The
TALENT-21 project is a comprehensive academic enhancement project
encompassing curriculum development, and reform, integration of
technology in teaching, infrastructure improvement,
faculty development, and student learning and research development.
Goals:
- To improve learning in the SMET "gate keeper" courses:
calculus, chemistry, and physics.
- To significantly increase the number of minority students graduating
from mathematics, chemistry, biology, and physics.
- To increase the number of minority students with research training
and experiences who earn baccalaureate degrees and pursue graduate
studies in SMET disciplines or enter SMET careers.
- To support the systematic development of student research and
technology skills.
- To develop collaborative programs among North Carolina A&T State
University colleges and schools, other institutions of higher
education, industry, and governmental laboratories that strengthen the
SMET academic infrastructure for undergraduate education.
Objectives:
- Will move the learning process from passive lectures to active engagement
lectures in a cutting edge, learning centered environment.
- Encourage a shift in students' attitude from relying on the professor as
the only source of knowledge to becoming discoverers of knowledge
themselves.
- Provide students with interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary curricula
and research training.
- Provide professional training and retraining of faculty in fundamental,
as well as in emerging techniques of teaching.
