This program enables low income, scholastically well-suited students to pursue undergraduate degrees in computer science, engineering or mathematics. It also serves to establish support systems that will maximize the students' ability to achieve and maintain a 2.5- 3.0 minimum grade point average during their undergraduate years. In addition, this program provides a mechanism that involves the students with the concepts of cooperative work education and research experiences for undergraduates. This results in increased numbers of engineering and science students who will consider science, engineering or technology as potential professional career choices and motivates them to pursue advanced study and research, leadership and academic careers in engineering, science, or technology-related pedagogy. There also exists an opportunity for students to participate in an "incentive" program that offers them a semester at a partnering Diversity in Engineering (DEP)/Heartland's Alliance for Minority Participation (HAMP) institution through the National Student Exchange (NSE). The principal goal of this program is to increase the pool of highly qualified engineering and science students from economically disadvantaged (underserved) and underrepresented group backgrounds. Then to address the growing, critical national concern for the quality of engineering and computer science education and the demand for a diversified workforce in the fields of computer science, engineering and mathematics. Moreover, the program will help ensure an adequate, well-prepared workforce of scientists and engineers that can maintain U.S. leadership in science and technology, both now and in the future. In addition, the project will help all students to acquire the mathematics and science skills needed to thrive in an increasingly technological society. The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) is in an ideal and unique position to increase significantly the utilization of an untapped source of American talent, that being the economically disadvantaged and historically underrepresented student. This opportunity allows MU to build a more dynamic relationship with two-and four- year colleges. Additionally, it helps to ensure the successful transition of transfer students from underserved and underrepresented groups into the engineering computer science and mathematics undergraduate programs at MU. This pool of students has been under-recruited in the past and need to be in the current and future SEM pipeline. This recruitment effort will be enhanced through coordination with the Heartland Alliance for Minority Participation transfer scholarships programs.

该计划使低收入、学业上合适的学生能够攻读计算机科学、工程或数学方面的本科学位。它还有助于建立支持系统，最大限度地提高学生在本科期间达到并保持最低平均绩点2.5-3.0的能力。此外，该项目还提供了一种机制，让学生参与到合作教育的理念和本科生的研究经验中。这导致越来越多的工程和理科学生将科学、工程或技术视为潜在的职业选择，并激励他们在工程、科学或与技术相关的教育学方面追求更高的学习和研究、领导力和学术生涯。此外，学生还有机会通过国家学生交流中心(NSE)参加一个“激励”计划，该计划为他们提供一个学期，在工程多样性合作伙伴(DEP)/哈特兰的少数族裔参与联盟(HAMP)机构工作。该计划的主要目标是增加来自经济困难(服务不足)和代表性不足的群体背景的高素质工程和理科学生的人数。然后解决日益增长的、关键的国家对工程和计算机科学教育质量的关注，以及对计算机科学、工程和数学领域多样化劳动力的需求。此外，该计划将有助于确保拥有一支充足、准备充分的科学家和工程师队伍，能够保持美国现在和未来在科学技术方面的领先地位。此外，该项目将帮助所有学生获得在日益科技的社会中茁壮成长所需的数学和科学技能。密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校(MU)处于一个理想而独特的位置，可以显著增加对美国未开发人才来源的利用，即经济上处于不利地位和历史上代表不足的学生。这一机会使墨尔本大学与两年制和四年制大学建立了更具活力的关系。此外，它还有助于确保转学学生从服务不足和代表性不足的群体成功过渡到慕尼黑大学工程计算机科学和数学本科课程。这批学生在过去一直招生不足，需要在目前和未来的SEM渠道中进行。这项招聘工作将通过与中心地带少数民族参与转移奖学金方案的协调得到加强。
