This project expands the current Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) program, which focuses primarily on the first year, into a four-year experience, to be known as the WISE College. Important academic and social components are introduced to create an entity with which the women will identify during their four years at Stony Brook and beyond. Goals are to institute advanced math and computer training and an ongoing in-depth research experience; to introduce newly-developed courses that give insight into the cultural milieu in which science operates and scientists work; to sustain and deepen the sense of belonging to a community of active women scientists; and to facilitate movement from college to graduate or professional school in SME. Methods for achieving these goals include: the introduction of advanced math/computer requirements; the implementation of specially-created courses on the Social Dimensions of Science, Connections in Science; and Problem Solving; the development and implementation of a Mentoring seminar and enhanced mentoring opportunities for the women; and a two-year intensive research requirement, accompanied by a senior seminar on Professional Development and professionally-oriented activities such as presentations at conferences, a major paper, and grant-writing activities. By providing a structured and supportive environment for four years, and instituting elements designed to enhance the women's academic and professional development, WISE College will address national and local needs to recruit and especially to retain qualified women in SME and to increase the number of women pursuing careers that require training in science, math or technology.

该项目扩大了目前的妇女在科学和工程（WISE）计划，主要集中在第一年，到一个为期四年的经验，被称为WISE学院。 引入了重要的学术和社会组成部分，以创建一个实体，妇女将在斯托尼布鲁克和以后的四年中与之认同。 目标是建立先进的数学和计算机培训和正在进行的深入研究的经验;引进新开发的课程， 深入了解科学运作和科学家工作的文化环境;保持和加深活跃的女科学家社区的归属感;促进中小企业从大学升入研究生院或专业学校。 实现这些目标的方法包括：引入高等数学/计算机要求;开设关于科学的社会层面、科学中的联系和解决问题的专门课程;制定和举办辅导研讨会，增加妇女的辅导机会;和为期两年的密集研究的要求，伴随着专业发展和专业为导向的活动，如在会议上的演讲，一个主要的文件，和赠款写作活动的高级研讨会。 通过提供四年的结构化和支持性环境，并建立旨在加强妇女学术和专业发展的要素，WISE学院将满足国家和地方招聘的需要，特别是留住中小企业中的合格妇女，并增加追求需要科学，数学或技术培训的职业的妇女人数。
