The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) proposes to address the underrepresentation of minorities among science, engineering and mathematics doctorates through its Minority Access to Science, Engineering and Math (MASEM) program. By partnering with six Southern California institutions that have significant enrollments of minority students, UCSD plans to create a pipeline of minority students from the undergraduate level through graduate programs at UCSD to placement in academic positions at the postdoctoral level. This program will provide services for students at the undergraduate level, the graduate level and beyond.The partner institutions are members of the California State University system, including Dominguez Hills (Los Angeles), Fullerton, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Northridge and San Diego. Five of these schools are members of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU). With strong enrollments of Hispanic and African American students, these institutions will collaborate with UCSD to provide their undergraduates with opportunities for graduate school exploration and preparation.'Me UCSD MASEM program will have one major goal: to increase the number of underrepresented students who complete doctoral degrees at UCSD in science, engineering and disciplines and enter the professoriate in these fields.To achieve this goal, the program has established five major objectives:1 ) To develop and implement successful outreach and recruitment activities to increase applications fromunderrepresented students to UCSD doctoral programs in the SEM disciplines by 10% each year and enrollment of new students by 15% each year; a) Baseline underrepresented minority SEM applications for Fall 1998: 118 b) Baseline new underrepresented minority SEM students for Fall 1998: 122) To provide graduate preparation opportunities for undergraduates at partner institutions;3) To create supportive environments for UCSD underrepresented graduate students in SEM fields at both the institutional and departmental levels to maintain current degree completion rate of 78% and to enhance students' satisfaction with their graduate experience;4) To develop student interest in, and successful preparation for, academic careers;5) To facilitate the development of cross-institutional faculty connections between UCSD and CSU partner campuses.An advisory board of graduate students and faculty will guide and evaluate the program. This board will meet biannually to monitor the progress of the program and to make recommendations for adjustments as needed.At the undergraduate level students will obtain information and training in research skills, written and oral communication, PhD career opportunities, and applying to and choosing a graduate program. In addition, students will benefit from faculty mentoring at partner institutions and UCSD, and will participate in a summer research internship.Graduate students in the program will enjoy peer and faculty mentoring, a complete financial support package, preferred housing, and networking opportunities. A summer transition program including laboratory rotations and community building events will assist the students with integration into the San Diego and campus communities. On-going professional workshops and seminars offered by a number of campus service offices will be available specifically for graduate students in the MASEM program.Faculty involved with the program will have an opportunity to interact with colleagues and students at the participating institutions in a number of ways. Faculty at CSU and UCSD will co-mentor undergraduate students who conduct research in the summer research internship program. They will collaboratively teach an introduction to research course; and they will participate in faculty exchanges at both UCSD and the CSU partner campuses. These interactions will strengthen cross-institutional relationships to create and sustain a fruitful pipeline of students.All levels of service will be supported by electronic means. Workshop and seminar materials will be available online for students. Discussion groups and individual research web pages will be encouraged and supported technically. These electronic resources will provide easy access to important information from remote locations.

加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）建议通过其少数民族获得科学，工程和数学（MASEM）计划来解决科学，工程和数学博士学位中少数民族代表性不足的问题。通过与六个南加州的机构，有显着的少数民族学生入学合作，加州大学圣地亚哥分校计划创建一个管道的少数民族学生从本科水平，通过研究生课程在加州大学圣地亚哥分校的安置在博士后水平的学术职位。该计划将为本科生、研究生及以上层次的学生提供服务。合作院校是加州州立大学系统的成员，包括多明格斯山（洛杉矶）、富勒顿、长滩、洛杉矶、北岭和圣地亚哥。其中五所学校是西班牙裔学院和大学协会（HACU）的成员。随着西班牙裔和非洲裔美国学生的强劲招生，这些机构将与UCSD合作，为本科生提供研究生院探索和准备的机会。“我加州大学圣地亚哥分校MASEM项目的一个主要目标是：增加在加州大学圣地亚哥分校完成科学、工程和学科博士学位并进入这些领域教授职位的代表性不足的学生数量。为了实现这一目标，该项目制定了五个主要目标：1）制定并实施成功的外展和招聘活动，使申请加州大学圣地亚哥分校SEM学科博士课程的代表性不足的学生每年增加10%，每年增加15%的新生入学人数; a）1998年秋季入学申请人数不足的少数族裔学生的基线人数：118人B）1998年秋季入学申请人数不足的少数族裔学生的基线人数：122人）为合作机构的本科生提供研究生准备机会;3）为加州大学圣地亚哥分校在教育和科学两个领域的研究生人数不足的研究生创造支持性环境。 院校和部门层面，以维持目前78%的学位完成率，并提高 学生对他们的毕业经历的满意度;4）培养学生对学术生涯的兴趣和成功的准备;5）促进UCSD和CSU合作伙伴之间跨机构教师联系的发展 一个由研究生和教师组成的顾问委员会将指导和评估该项目。该委员会将每半年召开一次会议，以监测该计划的进展情况，并根据需要提出调整建议。在本科阶段，学生将获得研究技能，书面和口头沟通，博士就业机会以及申请和选择研究生课程的信息和培训。此外，学生将受益于合作机构和UCSD的教师指导，并将参加夏季研究实习。该计划的研究生将享受同行和教师指导，完整的财务支持包，首选住房和社交机会。 包括实验室轮换和社区建设活动的夏季过渡计划将帮助学生融入圣地亚哥和校园社区。 正在进行的专业讲习班和研讨会提供了一些校园服务办公室将提供专门为研究生在MASEM程序.参与该计划的教师将有机会与同事和学生在参与机构以多种方式进行互动. CSU和UCSD的教师将共同指导在夏季研究实习计划中进行研究的本科生。他们将合作教授研究课程的介绍;他们将参加UCSD和CSU合作校区的教师交流。这些互动将加强跨院校的关系，以建立和维持一个富有成效的学生管道。各级服务将通过电子手段得到支持。讲习班和研讨会材料将在网上提供给学生。将在技术上鼓励和支持讨论小组和个人研究网页。这些电子资源将使人们能够方便地从遥远的地点获取重要信息。
