Subcategory: STEM Research

Buddhi Gyawali - Kentucky State University
Co-Author(s): Jeremy Sandifer



The goal of ‘Promoting Minority Students Participation in STEM-Undergraduate Degree Programs at Kentucky State University (KSU)’ is to produce a competitive minority workforce in the STEM fields by designing, implementing and strengthening innovative teaching, learning, research, recruitment, retention and professional development strategies. The specific objectives of the project are: (1) To increase the enrollment of students into the STEM programs; (2) To develop experiential research projects to enhance students opportunities in a broad range of scientific inquiry; (3)To enhance curricula of the STEM programs so that courses meet the highest possible standards and address the diverse backgrounds and learning capability of minority students; and (4) To develop student retention, faculty teaching and research enhancement programs. The major activities accomplished in this reporting period are: Development of STEM program promotional materials; Recruitment of undergraduate STEM Experiential Research Scholars and Mentors; Development of cyber based research and learning environment for STEM Scholars; Visits of various community schools for recruiting students and promoting STEM; Completion of STEM Day at KSU; Completion of Summer Apprenticeship Program; and Completion of professional development workshop for high school STEM students. This poster highlights these accomplishments and impacts on promoting STEM education and research programs at Kentucky State University.
