9623943 Gomez-Rodriguez The Puerto Rico Alliance for Minority Participation Phase II joins 14 universities, National Laboratories and local industry to increase the quality and number of Hispanic BS degrees in SMET conferred by PR-AMP institutions each year by a total of 1,425, growing from the current 2,646 to 4,071. Up to 2/3 of these will be low-income and/or first generation college students. PR-AMP universities conferred 1,896 BS degrees in 1993, which represents 23.7% of the 7,995 degrees conferred nationally to Hispanics, making PR-AMP institutions a key resource for producing Hispanic SMET graduates. Through PR-AMP Phase II, about 32,000 student participants are expected to benefit from the PR-AMP program. Institutional effectiveness and efficiency will be optimized to increase the average graduation rates of PR-AMP institutions from the current annual rate of 32% to 60%. PhDs in SMET conferred to BS graduates from PR-AMP will increase from the current annual average of 48 to 83. The thrust of PR-AMP Phase II activities will target the undergraduate component of the SMET pipeline, as major systemic strategies are already in place on the island to address the pre- college (PR Systemic Statewide Initiative) and graduate (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research-EPSCoR) levels. Building on those strategies piloted and found effective in Phase I and creating new initiatives to address all key aspects of the barriers to SMET education, Phase II will develop the following core strategies: changing the teaching/learning culture, faculty attitudes and curriculum though the curricular revision of SMET curricula to incorporate effective teaching strategies bases on an inquiry approach to learning and effective classroom assessment method, with emphasis on gatekeeper and bottleneck courses; faculty, industry and peer mentoring program to provide SMET students with a network of academic and social support; strengthening undergraduat e research with emphasis on local graduate research centers, National Laboratories and industry internships; stipends for low-income SMET students to address financial need and stimulate participation in the PR-AMP process; incorporation of multimedia technology in the learning process; special bridging component, with pre-college to college engineering program and an undergraduate to graduate transition program; a teacher preparation program to improve the competence of future SMET teachers; and the development of an institutional research and strategic planning capability to measure variables that indicate the value-added in terms of student outcomes and institutional effectiveness and efficiency.

9623943 Gomez-Rodriguez 波多黎各少数族裔参与联盟第二阶段与 14 所大学、国家实验室和当地工业界合作，每年提高 PR-AMP 机构授予的 SMET 西班牙裔学士学位的质量和数量，总数从目前的 2,646 个增加到 4,071 个，总数为 1,425 个。 其中高达 2/3 是低收入和/或第一代大学生。 1993 年，PR-AMP 大学授予了 1,896 个学士学位，占全国授予拉美裔 7,995 个学位的 23.7%，使 PR-AMP 机构成为培养拉美裔 SMET 毕业生的关键资源。 通过 PR-AMP 第二阶段，预计约 32,000 名学生参与者将从 PR-AMP 计划中受益。 优化机构效能和效率，将PR-AMP机构的平均毕业率从目前的32%提高到60%。 授予 PR-AMP 理学学士毕业生的 SMET 博士学位将从目前的年平均 48 名增加到 83 名。PR-AMP 第二阶段活动的主旨将针对 SMET 管道的本科生部分，因为岛上已经制定了主要的系统性战略来解决大学预科（PR 系统性全州计划）和研究生（刺激竞争性研究的实验计划 - EPSCoR）水平。在第一阶段试点并发现有效的策略的基础上，并制定新举措来解决 SMET 教育障碍的所有关键方面，第二阶段将制定以下核心策略：通过 SMET 课程的课程修订，改变教学/学习文化、教师态度和课程，纳入基于探究学习方法和有效课堂评估方法的有效教学策略，重点是把关人和瓶颈 课程；教师、行业和同行指导计划，为 SMET 学生提供学术和社会支持网络； 加强本科生研究，重点关注当地研究生研究中心、国家实验室和行业实习；为低收入 SMET 学生提供津贴，以满足经济需求并鼓励他们参与 PR-AMP 流程； 将多媒体技术纳入学习过程； 特殊衔接部分，包括大学预科到大学工程课程和本科生到研究生的过渡课程；旨在提高未来 SMET 教师能力的教师培训计划；发展机构研究和战略规划能力，以衡量表明学生成果和机构有效性和效率增值的变量。
