9354148迪亚兹 大都会大学（UMET）将制定一项全面的机构发展计划，在未来五到八年内为其科学和数学（SM）计划提供主要推动力。该计划将在SM教育中产生重大的，长期的定量和定性进步，这将显着增加完成BS学位并进入SM研究生课程的少数民族学生的数量和质量。这一过程以及随后的计划将在Ana G的全力支持下制定。Mendez大学系统（AGMUS），其中UMET是其中的一部分，并与能源部（DOE）国家实验室，波多黎各学院和大学的几个部门合作，以及当地工业的支持和合作。 该计划将包括：加强和扩大现有的BS学位课程;至少三个新的BS学位课程的创建;进一步增加SM教师的数量和质量&;进一步加强学生的支持和充实计划，包括一个主要的努力，以扩大和加强本科研究;并完成&SM教学和本科研究设施的发展。UMET S M发展模式的目的是，并将被设计为从大学预科到本科到研究生过渡的数学和科学学生创造一个安全的途径，特别关注S M管道中的关键过渡点。一旦实施，该方案旨在为波多黎各的其他四年制院校和整个大陆的少数民族院校建立和验证一个SM体制发展模式。UMET预计，它将能够将学士学位的专业数量从400个增加到800多个，学士学位的毕业生从每年30个增加到224个，至少有100个在波多黎各或大陆的SM研究生院就读。

9354148 Diaz The Universidad Metropolitana (UMET) will produce a comprehensive institutional development program that will provide a major thrust in its science and mathematics (S&M) programs over the next five to eight years. This program will produce significant, long-term quantitative and qualitative advances in S&M education that sill significantly increase the number and quality of minority students who complete BS degrees and advance to S&M graduate studies. This process, and the program that will follow, will be developed with the full support of the Ana G. Mendez University System (AGMUS) of which UMET is part, and in collaboration with several Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories, Puerto Rico colleges and universities, and the support and collaboration of local industry. The plan will involve: strengthening and expanding existing BS degree programs; the creation of at least three new BS degree programs; further increasing the number and quality of S&M faculty; further enhancing student support and enrichment programs, including a major effort to expand and enhance undergraduate research; and completing the development of S&M instructional and undergraduate research facilities. The UMET S&M development model is intended, and will be designed, to create a secure pathway for mathematics and science students from pre- college through the undergraduate-to-graduate transition, focusing specifically on key transition points in the S&M pipeline. Once implemented, this program is intended to create and validate a model for institutional development in S&M for other four-year institutions in Puerto Rico and for minority institutions throughout the mainland. UMET projects that it will be able to increase the number of BS majors from 400 to over 800, and BS graduates from 30 to 224 per year, with at least 100 going on to graduate school in S&M either in Puerto Rico or on the mainland.
