Industry- Research Inclusion in STEM Education (I-RISE)

Role: Advisor for Architecture Students, Department of Education
Collaborators: Civil Engineering, Physics, Biology, Math Departments, Howard University $1,000,000, 2019-2021

The I-RISE program extends opportunities for paid research experience, networking with industry partners, and inroads to professional work to underrepresented first- and second-year students in STEM disciplines. It focuses on students with GPAs of 2.00-3.00 or non-scholarship at the first- and second-year student levels, stimulating scientific interest through participation in real-world, hands-on research projects in the early years of STEM education to boost retention and graduation rates.

“Professor Nea Maloo has actively sought to create research experience and inroads to professional work and internships for her students in Architecture through collaboration with engineering colleagues in sponsored research.”
