Engineering - Other (59), Mathematical Sciences (21)The Mississippi State University (MSU) program, "Increasing Participation in Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics (CSEM) Through Scholarships" is providing increased CSEM educational opportunities for underrepresented students to help meet the demand for scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians and contribute to the growth of the economy of Mississippi, the surrounding region and the nation. Encouraging students to pursue degrees in CSEM and to provide financial support to CSEM majors are two of the major goals of the program. Specific project objectives include: 1) increasing participation and retention of academically-talented, low income students and underrepresented groups in CSEM; 2) improving the educational experiences of CSEM students through connections of academic content to the work environment; 3) increasing awareness of employment opportunities through strengthening existing and building new industry partnerships; 4) increasing enrollment of academically-gifted students from community colleges in CSEM at Mississippi State University; and 5) encouraging scholarship recipients to pursue advanced degrees in CSEM. Forty CSEM Undergraduate and Graduate Fellows are expected to be recruited from state and regional community colleges, Historically Black Institutions, and four-year institutions. The majority of the scholarships support undergraduates, with graduate student awards limited to those who provide evidence of economic hardship. The eight operating departments and two centers in the College of Engineering and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the College of Arts and Sciences are participating in the program. Each department has identified a representative to the CSEM program who is coordinating activities within the department. CSEM Fellows are mentored one-on-one by faculty and by their peers. In addition, they take part in research and design projects, present results of their research professionally, and interact with industry representatives. Departments are maintaining the following data on their Fellows: progress toward degree, research experiences, design projects, and industry involvement. Mentoring activities, professional development opportunities, job interviews, graduate school applications, and the change in the number of underrepresented students and transfer students in CSEM are also being documented for the purposes of program evaluation.

工程 - 其他 (59)、数学科学 (21)密西西比州立大学 (MSU) 计划“通过奖学金增加对计算机科学、工程和数学 (CSEM) 的参与”为代表性不足的学生提供更多的 CSEM 教育机会，以帮助满足对科学家、数学家、工程师和技术人员的需求，并为密西西比州、周边地区和密西西比州的经济增长做出贡献 民族。鼓励学生攻读 CSEM 学位并为 CSEM 专业提供财政支持是该计划的两个主要目标。具体项目目标包括： 1) 提高学术才华、低收入学生和代表性不足群体在 CSEM 中的参与度和保留率； 2) 通过将学术内容与工作环境联系起来，改善 CSEM 学生的教育体验； 3）通过加强现有的和建立新的行业伙伴关系来提高对就业机会的认识； 4) 增加密西西比州立大学 CSEM 社区学院学术天才学生的入学人数； 5) 鼓励奖学金获得者攻读 CSEM 高级学位。预计将从州立和地区社区学院、历史黑人院校和四年制院校招募 40 名 CSEM 本科生和研究生研究员。大多数奖学金支持本科生，研究生奖项仅限于那些提供经济困难证据的人。工程学院和文理学院数学与统计系的八个业务部门和两个中心参与了该计划。每个部门都指定了一名 CSEM 计划代表，负责协调部门内的活动。 CSEM 研究员接受教师和同行的一对一指导。此外，他们还参与研究和设计项目，专业地展示他们的研究成果，并与行业代表互动。各院系维护其研究员的以下数据：学位进展、研究经验、设计项目和行业参与。为了项目评估的目的，指导活动、专业发展机会、工作面试、研究生院申请以及 CSEM 中代表性不足的学生和转学生的数量变化也被记录下来。
