The City College of New York's Program for the Retention of Engineering Students (PRES), begun in 1987, was established to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in the engineering field. PRES concentration is on freshman. Data indicate that half of engineering students drop out during the first two years of school. PRES services are focused on improving academic performance and providing career information. Among the services listed, are, 1) pre-freshman and pre-transfer summer enrichment programs; 2) mathematics and science workshops; 3) frequent academic monitoring and advisement; 4) career orientation and professional development sessions, and 5) cooperative education and summer job placement. Comparison data provided indicate that student retention rates are impacted with 90 percent of the students staying in engineering versus 50 percent for those students not in the program. Another highlight of the proposal is the program's impressive impact on graduation rates and matriculation into graduate programs. In addition, the proposal indicates PRES will continue to grow through the support it receives from its 18-member advisory board composed of corporate and foundation representatives. The strengths of the nominee include: . Largest enrollment of engineering students in New York state (50 percent of the state's engineering students). . Pre-freshman enrichment, personal counseling, block registration, tutoring by peers and upper classmen, required non-credit course in problem solving, math and science workshops, frequent academic monitoring and advisement, career orientation and professional development services, summer job placement. Significant impact on student retention, graduation, academic performance. 90 percent of the students remain in engineering. PRES student graduation rates are twice as high as other minority engineering students. Founda tion and corporate support. Innovative and replicable. In summary, PRES is a sophisticated and comprehensive student support system. The population of assisted students overwhelmingly satisfies the NSF criteria for diversity and underrepresented populations. The program offered the unique component of involving transfer students in the support process even before transfer from the feeder school.

纽约城市学院的保留计划， 工程学生（PRES），开始于1987年，成立， 增加代表性不足的少数群体的人数， 工程领域。 PRES集中在新生身上。 数据 表明有一半的工程专业学生在 学校的头两年。 PRES服务的重点是提高学习成绩和提供职业信息。 在列出的服务中，有，1）新生入学前和转学前的暑期充实计划; 2）数学和科学研讨会; 3）频繁的学术监测和咨询; 4）职业定位和专业发展会议，以及5）合作教育和暑期工作安排。 提供的比较数据表明，学生保留率受到影响，90%的学生留在工程与50%的学生没有在程序。 该提案的另一个亮点是该计划对毕业率和研究生入学率的影响令人印象深刻。 此外，该提案还表明，PRES将通过其由企业和基金会代表组成的18名成员组成的咨询委员会的支持继续发展。 被提名者的优势包括： . 纽约州最大的工程专业学生入学人数 (50占全国工程专业学生的比例）。 . 新生入学前的充实个人辅导 注册，由同龄人和高年级学生辅导，需要 解决问题、数学和科学的非学分课程 讲习班，经常的学术监督和培训，职业生涯 定向和专业发展服务，暑期工作 安置 对学生的保留，毕业， 学习成绩 90%的学生留在工程。 PRES学生的毕业率是其他学校的两倍。 少数民族工科学生。 基金会和企业的支持。 创新和可复制。 综上所述，PRES是一个老练而全面的学生 支持系统 受助学生人数 绝大多数满足NSF的多样性标准， 代表性不足的人群。 该计划提供了独特的 在这方面，我们强调了让转学生在从附属学校转学之前就参与支持过程的重要性。
