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

Jacquez 新墨西哥州少数民族参与联盟（AMP）旨在增加有兴趣和学术资格的少数民族学生的规模，这些学生有资格在科学、数学、工程和技术（SMET）领域进行研究生学习。 新墨西哥州AMP将通过增加获得中小企业和技术培训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。 在该计划的前四年，新墨西哥州AMP奠定了令人兴奋的新机会，这将加强导致学士学位和研究生学习的管道的基础。 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）整合计划组成部分并使其制度化; 3）传播成果; 4）将评估扩展到决策过程中。 在第二阶段的创新特点是分层同行指导和通过实习和助教增加本科生研究机会的新计划。 与相关倡议和行业的新合作和协同作用将推动这些努力。 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和增加少数民族参与中小企业专业的机会。 NSF对第二阶段的支持将在制定新的方向方面发挥至关重要的作用，这些新的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.
