UMBC是一所多元化的公立研究型大学，它在培养高能力的本科学者方面享有盛誉，并在UMBC创建了一个全面的新模式，即STEM BUILD。该计划旨在帮助更多的学生发展技能，经验和动力，在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）方面表现出色。本文深入描述了UMBC的STEM BUILD，并在UMBC的愿景和使命中提供了这一倡议的背景。STEM BUILD模型针对有前途的STEM学生，他们作为新生或转学生入学，没有资格获得重要的大学或其他奖学金支持。对这一举措来说，最重要的是能力，可扩展性和机构的可持续性，因为我们提取了UMBC成功的学者计划的优势和机会，并将其应用扩展到更多的学生。一般的方法是将指导和培训过程注入到本科生的经验结构中，同时培养社区，科学身份和韧性。在UMBC的STEM BUILD的核心是BUILD集团研究（BGR）的发展，旨在克服没有程序支持的本科生经常遇到的挑战（例如，有限的实习机会，导师和顶尖STEM学生青睐的研究职位）。BUILD培训计划（BTP）的受训者是这一倡议的先驱，这可能是大学的一个全国性模式，因为他们呼吁在STEM学科中留住更多的学生并使其毕业-特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体的学生。因此，BTP是一项使用随机分配试验方法的研究，重点是可扩展性和最终将成功的措施纳入学院的传统格式。转变机构文化的关键措施包括建立一个广泛的STEM生活和学习社区，以提高本科生的保留率，扩大采用“主动学习”的教学法，以提高学习效率，并制定计划，培训研究人员，以有效地指导更大部分的学生。UMBC的STEM BUILD的总体目标是留住STEM专业的学生，并为他们更好地准备学士后，研究生或专业课程以及生物医学和行为研究的职业生涯。
UMBC, a diverse public research university, “builds” upon its reputation in producing highly capable undergraduate scholars to create a comprehensive new model, STEM BUILD at UMBC. This program is designed to help more students develop the skills, experience and motivation to excel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This article provides an in-depth description of STEM BUILD at UMBC and provides the context of this initiative within UMBC’s vision and mission. The STEM BUILD model targets promising STEM students who enter as freshmen or transfer students and do not qualify for significant university or other scholarship support. Of primary importance to this initiative are capacity, scalability, and institutional sustainability, as we distill the advantages and opportunities of UMBC’s successful scholars programs and expand their application to more students. The general approach is to infuse the mentoring and training process into the fabric of the undergraduate experience while fostering community, scientific identity, and resilience. At the heart of STEM BUILD at UMBC is the development of BUILD Group Research (BGR), a sequence of experiences designed to overcome the challenges that undergraduates without programmatic support often encounter (e.g., limited internship opportunities, mentorships, and research positions for which top STEM students are favored). BUILD Training Program (BTP) Trainees serve as pioneers in this initiative, which is potentially a national model for universities as they address the call to retain and graduate more students in STEM disciplines – especially those from underrepresented groups. As such, BTP is a research study using random assignment trial methodology that focuses on the scalability and eventual incorporation of successful measures into the traditional format of the academy. Critical measures to transform institutional culture include establishing an extensive STEM Living and Learning Community to increase undergraduate retention, expanding the adoption of “active learning” pedagogies to increase the efficiency of learning, and developing programs to train researchers to effectively mentor a greater portion of the student population. The overarching goal of STEM BUILD at UMBC is to retain students in STEM majors and better prepare them for post baccalaureate, graduate, or professional programs as well as careers in biomedical and behavioral research.
