NSF: Improving Undergrad STEM Success
This project aims to help undergraduates who often leave STEM majors, like underrepresented groups and first-generation college students, succeed. It will use data to identify struggling students early and provide targeted support. The project combines the expertise of researchers at two universities to create effective interventions and test them in different educational settings. By focusing on active learning and self-regulation, the project hopes to improve STEM graduation rates, which are currently low, especially for these groups. The initiative will expand successful methods from previous projects to better serve these students.
