Impact of STELLAR
STELLAR will impact over 1,000 students through seminars, courses, and research. The principal expected impact of STELLAR is improvement in at least four courses and teaching labs related to agro-technology at both DMC and TAMUCC. In conjunction, the curriculum in these laboratories will be updated and integrated with other courses. Another anticipated impact is the increased number of undergraduate students receiving training in the area of agricultural science.
Beneficiaries
Measurable outcomes include: increasing the number of earned degrees in agriculture, improving student research and project management skills and increasing retention and transfer of under-represented students. It is expected that 5- 10% of STELLAR students will continue onto advanced studies in agriculture.
