本文提供了一套设计原则，这些原则是从建筑工程和科学人才（BEST）考试中提炼出来的，该考试涵盖了100多个项目，这些项目在招募和留住科学、技术、工程和数学领域的少数民族学生方面取得了成功。通过在大气研究与科学重大机遇（SOARS®）计划的背景下说明这些原则，我们提供了在地球科学领域应用这些原则的例子。该计划将多个暑期研究经验与密集的多维指导和强大的学习社区相结合，帮助本科生完成大学学业，并成功过渡到大气及相关科学的研究生院。通过正式和非正式的评估，SOARS被广泛认为是一个非常成功的项目。
This article offers a set of design principles distilled from the Building Engineering and Science Talent (BEST) examination of over 100 programs with documented success in recruiting and retaining minority students in sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. By illustrating these principles in the context of the Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science (SOARS®) program, we provide examples for applying them in the realm of the geosciences. The SOARS Program combines multiple summer research experiences with intensive, multidimensional mentoring and a robust learning community to help undergraduate students complete college and make successful transitions into graduate school in the Atmospheric and related sciences. SOARS has been widely recognized through formal and informal assessments as a highly successful program.
