项目构建
BUILD项目属于第三章, Hispanic Serving Institution STEM grant funded by the Department of 教育. 项目构建 is designed to significantly improve 圣安东尼奥学院’s capacity to provide academic support to Hispanic and otherwise underrepresented STEM majors students who are enrolled in high-challenge STEM courses to increase their chances of progressing to on-time graduation and/or transfer in STEM.
A major component of 项目构建 is to incorporate Course Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) in STEM courses taught at 圣安东尼奥学院. Our resource site is designed to provide an overview of the application and onboarding process for STEM faculty committed to implementing CUREs.
Upon full execution, 圣安东尼奥学院 expects implementation of 项目构建 to:
- Increase the number of Hispanic and low-income students who are pursuing a STEM degree by at least 10%,
- Increase full-time STEM degree-seeking students who persist to the second year of study in a STEM field to at least 75% from 59%,
- and to increase the percentage of Hispanic and low-income first-time, full-time STEM degree-seeking students who graduate or transfer on time to at least 42% from 21%.
All components of 项目构建 are informed by research and evaluation findings that suggest they are likely to improve Hispanic and low-income student success in STEM.
项目构建 is seeking faculty interested in implementing CUREs for Fall 2023. If you are full or part-time faculty in a STEM discipline and want to learn more about upcoming events, 学院和部门福利, 申请过程, and professional development please complete the CUREs Interest Form below.
项目构建 also funds part-time embedded tutors assigned in high-challenge, introductory courses that are required for the majority of the SAC’s STEM associate degrees and articulation agreements. Embedded Course Tutors attend each class to gain a better sense of what concepts students are struggling with to facilitate continuous communication with faculty, and to communicate tutoring availability often to encourage students’ participation at campus academic success centers. Embedded Lab Tutors are assigned to various academic success centers across campus to provide tutoring across a wide range of subjects.
