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

新墨西哥州少数民族参与联盟（AMP）寻求增加有兴趣和学术合格的少数民族学生的规模，有资格在科学、数学、工程和技术（SMET）领域进行研究生学习。新墨西哥大学AMP将通过提高获得SMET学科学士学位的学生的数量和质量来实现这一目标，从1992/93年的每年235人增加到2002/2003年的每年93人。在项目的前四年，新墨西哥AMP为令人兴奋的新机会奠定了基础，这将加强通往学士学位和研究生学习的管道。美国国家科学基金会（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)整合和制度化方案组成部分；3)传播成果；4)将评估扩展到决策过程中。第二阶段的创新特点包括分层同侪指导的新计划，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卓越的本科教育，并增加少数民族参与SMET专业的机会。国家科学基金会对第二阶段的支持将在这个重要项目第一阶段取得的良好成果的基础上，在确定新的方向方面发挥至关重要的作用。

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.
