NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships (CSEMS) Program

马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的计算机科学系、数学与统计系和工程学院加入了国家科学基金会的CSEM奖学金计划，以解决：1)全国工程师、数学家和计算机科学家的短缺；2)妇女、少数民族和残疾人在这些学科中的代表性不足。麻省理工学院的计划将增加CSEM领域的学士学位人数，招募50名学生，一般在他们的大三和大四期间参加该项目。将特别注意征聘妇女、少数民族和残疾人。从社区大学转学生和有合理的2年毕业预期的高级生（40名）中选拔优秀的低收入家庭学生。马萨诸塞大学的计划还通过学校的资源资助10名经济困难的新生，为未来提供了一条管道。招聘、保留和毕业50名学生的目标将通过一个以教师为导向的综合项目来实现，该项目基于当前的研究和最佳实践，结合1)招聘、2)财务支持、3)精心设计的必修课、4)特别研讨会活动和5)学术和个人支持设施。所有cems项目活动都将经过专业评估。

The Departments of Computer Science, and Mathematics and Statistics and the College of Engineering, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, joins the National Science Foundation's CSEM Scholarship Program to address: 1) the national shortage of engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists, and 2) the under-representation of women, minorities and persons with disabilities in those disciplines. The UMass plan will increase the number of baccalaureate degrees in CSEM fields by recruiting fifty students for program participation generally during their junior and senior years. Particular attention will be paid to the recruitment of women, minorities and persons with disabilities. Talented, low-income students will be recruited from the community college transfer population and from upper-class students who have a reasonable expectation of graduating within two years (40 total). The UMass plan also provides a pipeline for the future by funding ten economically disadvantaged freshmen through University resources. The goal of recruiting, retaining and graduating 50 students will be accomplished through a faculty- driven, comprehensive program based on current research and best practices combining 1) recruitment, 2) financial support, 3) a carefully designed required course, 4) a special seminar activity and 5) academic and personal support facilities. All CSEMS program activities will be professionally evaluated.
