ACADEMIC, MENTORING, AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT TO FOSTER CAREER SUCCESS FOR MATH AND ENGINEERING STUDENTS -THIS PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE NATIONAL NEED FOR WELL-EDUCATED SCIENTISTS, MATHEMATICIANS, ENGINEERS, AND TECHNICIANS BY SUPPORTING THE RETENTION AND GRADUATION OF HIGH-ACHIEVING, LOW-INCOME STUDENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF INDIANAPOLIS. A TOTAL OF 18 SCHOLARS PURSUING A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN MATHEMATICS OR ENGINEERING WILL RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS AVERAGING $15,000 PER YEAR FOR UP TO FIVE YEARS. SCHOLARS WILL RECEIVE FACULTY AND PEER MENTORING, AND THE PROJECT WILL BUILD STRONG SCHOLAR COHORTS THROUGH COMMUNITY-BUILDING COHORT ACTIVITIES, TARGETED ACADEMIC SUPPORT, AND COMPREHENSIVE CAREER DEVELOPMENT. THE OVERALL GOAL OF THIS TRACK 1 SCHOLARSHIPS IN STEM PROJECT IS TO INCREASE STEM DEGREE COMPLETION OF ACADEMICALLY TALENTED, LOW-INCOME UNDERGRADUATES WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT NATIONAL NEED TO GROW THE STEM WORKFORCE AND NURTURE KEY TALENT THAT WILL ENSURE ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS AND PROVIDE DOMESTIC LEADERSHIP ACROSS CRITICAL SECTORS. THIS PROJECT DIRECTLY SPEAKS TO THIS NEED BY SUPPORTING STEM STUDENT SUCCESS, WHICH WILL STRENGTHEN THE WORKFORCE IN KEY AREAS OF NEED. THE PROJECT WILL BE ASSESSED BY AN EXPERIENCED EVALUATOR THAT WILL EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF COORDINATED COHORT-BUILDING, ACADEMIC SUPPORT, AND CAREER PREPARATION SERVICES ON THE SUCCESS OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS IN STEM DISCIPLINES. THE DATA GENERATED WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE KNOWLEDGE BASE REGARDING EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT TALENTED, LOW-INCOME STUDENTS IN STEM. THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED BY NSF'S SCHOLARSHIPS IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS PROGRAM, WHICH SEEKS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ACADEMICALLY TALENTED, LOW-INCOME STUDENTS WITH DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED WHO EARN DEGREES IN STEM FIELDS. IT ALSO AIMS TO IMPROVE THE EDUCATION OF FUTURE STEM WORKERS, AND TO GENERATE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ACADEMIC SUCCESS, RETENTION, TRANSFER, GRADUATION, AND ACADEMIC/CAREER PATHWAYS OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CREATING RUBRICS AND RELATED TOOLS TO ASSESS COLLEGE STUDENTS' LEARNING OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS -THIS PROJECT AIMS TO SERVE THE NATIONAL INTEREST BY MODERNIZING THE TEACHING OF PHYSICS AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL. SPECIFICALLY, THE PROJECT WILL ENABLE COLLEGE INSTRUCTORS TO INTEGRATE SPECIALIZED COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS METHODS INTO THEIR CLASSES, AND TO RATE THEIR STUDENTS' LEARNING AGAINST A STANDARD SCALE. TEACHING COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THESE METHODS ARE QUICKLY BECOMING ESSENTIAL FOR PHYSICISTS AND OTHER SCIENTISTS AROUND THE WORLD. THIS WORK WILL HELP COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES KEEP UP WITH THESE CHANGES. RATING STUDENTS AGAINST A STANDARD SCALE WILL ENABLE INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTORS AND DEPARTMENTS TO DETERMINE HOW EFFECTIVE THEIR TEACHING EFFORTS ARE, AND TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS THAT FURTHER BENEFIT THEIR STUDENTS. ADDING COMPUTATIONAL METHODS TO COLLEGE CLASSES WILL ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE U.S. SCIENTIFIC WORKFORCE, ONE OF THE KEY GOALS OF NSF AND THE IUSE PROGRAM. THIS ENGAGED STUDENT LEARNING: LEVEL II PROJECT IS THE FIRST EFFORT TO ESTABLISH STANDARDS (AND TRAINING MATERIALS FOR USING THE STANDARDS) DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR EVALUATING STUDENTS' ACHIEVEMENT OF SEVEN ESSENTIAL LEARNING GOALS IN COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS. THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO EXPAND AND IMPROVE THE TEACHING OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS AT FIVE UNIVERSITIES IN THE MIDWESTERN U.S: INDIANA UNIVERSITY INDIANAPOLIS, BRADLEY UNIVERSITY, PURDUE UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF INDIANAPOLIS, AND UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - STOUT. THE PROJECT TEAM WILL DEVELOP SEVEN STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1) USE GENERATIVE AI EFFECTIVELY AND ETHICALLY, 2) READ, UNDERSTAND, AND MODIFY EXISTING CODE, 3) APPLY COMMON COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS, 4) TEST CODE, 5) EXPLORE PHYSICS, 6) WRITE CLEAR CODE, AND 7) COMMUNICATE PHYSICS. EACH PARTNER INSTITUTION WILL HAVE A SPECIFIC ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO DEVELOPING THESE LEARNING OBJECTIVES. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO DEVELOP, TEST, AND IMPROVE RUBRICS RELATED TO THESE OBJECTIVES THAT INSTRUCTORS CAN USE TO RATE STUDENTS' LEARNING OF THESE METHODS. INSTRUCTORS ARE ACCUSTOMED TO EVALUATING STUDENTS WITHIN A SINGLE CLASS WHEN THEY ASSIGN GRADES, BUT THIS TYPE OF RATING DOES NOT GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW A STUDENT HAS PROGRESSED OVER YEARS. TO MEASURE PROGRESS, IT IS NECESSARY TO RATE STUDENTS AGAINST OBJECTIVE STANDARDS, THEREFORE THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS AND PROCEDURES A DEPARTMENT CAN USE TO HELP ITS MEMBERS LEARN TO USE THE RUBRICS TO RATE STUDENTS OBJECTIVELY. THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO STUDY HOW STUDENTS' DEVELOPMENT AS RATED BY INSTRUCTORS COMPARES TO THEIR OWN VIEW OF HOW MUCH THEY HAVE LEARNED. PROJECT WORK AND FINDINGS WILL BE DISSEMINATED THROUGH PUBLICATIONS, PRESENTATIONS, AND WORKSHOPS FOR FACULTY. THE NSF IUSE: EDU PROGRAM SUPPORTS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STEM EDUCATION FOR ALL STUDENTS. THROUGH THE ENGAGED STUDENT LEARNING TRACK, THE PROGRAM SUPPORTS THE CREATION, EXPLORATION, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROMISING PRACTICES AND TOOLS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
