Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program

该计划使低收入，学术条件良好的学生能够攻读计算机科学，工程或数学的本科学位。它还有助于建立支持系统，以最大限度地提高学生在本科期间达到和保持最低平均成绩2.5- 3.0的能力。此外，该项目还提供了一种机制，让学生参与到合作工作教育和本科生研究经验的概念中。这导致越来越多的工程和科学专业的学生将科学、工程或技术作为潜在的职业选择，并激励他们在工程、科学或技术相关的教育学中追求高级学习和研究、领导和学术生涯。学生还有机会参加一项“奖励”计划，通过国家学生交流计划，在合作的工程多样性(DEP)/哈特兰地区少数民族参与联盟（HAMP）机构学习一个学期。该计划的主要目标是增加来自经济弱势（服务不足）和代表性不足群体背景的高素质工程和科学学生的数量。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，工程和数学领域多元化劳动力的需求。此外，该计划将有助于确保有足够的、准备充分的科学家和工程师队伍，以保持美国在科学和技术方面的领导地位，无论是现在还是将来。此外，该项目将帮助所有学生获得在日益科技化的社会中茁壮成长所需的数学和科学技能。密苏里-哥伦比亚大学（MU）处于理想和独特的地位，可以显着增加对未开发的美国人才资源的利用，即经济上处于不利地位和历史上代表性不足的学生。这个机会使MU能够与两年制和四年制的学院建立更有活力的关系。此外，它有助于确保转学生从服务不足和代表性不足的群体成功过渡到MU的工程计算机科学和数学本科专业。过去，这批学生一直没有得到充分的招聘，现在和未来，他们都需要加入管理学院的培养队伍。这一招生工作将通过与Heartland Alliance for Minority Participation的转学奖学金项目的协调得到加强。

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.
