AMP: New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (Phase II)

HRD-9802223 JQUEZ新墨西哥州少数族裔参与联盟致力于扩大有兴趣、有学术资格、有资格在科学、数学、工程和技术(SMET)领域攻读研究生课程的少数族裔学生的人数。新墨西哥州AMP将实现这一目标，从1992/93年的每年235人增加到2002/2003年前每年获得SMET学科学士学位的学生的数量和质量。在该计划的头四年，新墨西哥州AMP为令人兴奋的新机会奠定了基础，这些机会将加强通往学士学位和研究生学习的管道。国家科学基金会(NSF)对新墨西哥州AMP第二阶段的支持将使我们能够：1)扩大课程改革；2)整合方案组成部分并使之制度化；3)传播成果；4)将评估纳入决策过程。在第二阶段的创新特征中，包括分层同行指导的新颖计划，以及通过实习和助学金增加本科生研究机会。与相关倡议和行业的新合作和协同将推动这些努力。新墨西哥州的教育和政治领导人坚定地致力于培养优秀的本科教育，并增加少数族裔参与SMET职业的机会。国家科学基金会S对第二阶段的支持将在确定新的方向方面发挥至关重要的作用，这些方向将建立在这一重要计划第一阶段所取得的良好工作的基础上。

HRD-9802223 Jacquez The New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (AMP) seeks to increase the size of the pool of interested and academically qualified minority students eligible for graduate study in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SMET) fields. New Mexico AMP will achieve this goal by increasing the quantity and quality of students receiving baccalaureate degrees in SMET disciplines from 235 annually in 1992/93 annually by 2002/2003. During the first four years of the program, New Mexico AMP laid the foundation for exciting new opportunities that will strengthen the pipeline leading to baccalaureate degrees and graduate study. National Science Foundation (NSF) support for Phase II of the New Mexico AMP will allow us to: 1) expand curricular reforms; 2) integrate and institutionalize programmatic components; 3) disseminate results; and 4) extend evaluation into the policy-making process. Among the innovative features of Phase II are novel plans for tiered peer mentoring and increased undergraduate research opportunities through internships and assistantships. New collaboration and synergy with related initiatives and industry will fuel these endeavors. New Mexico educational and political leaders are deeply committed to fostering excellence in undergraduate education and increasing opportunities for minority participation in SMET professions. NSF s support for Phase II will play a vital role in setting new directions that will build on the good work that has been achieve during the first phase of this important program.
