Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program

（99），（21），（59）本项目为一批学习成绩优异的低收入家庭学生提供财政、学术和非学术支持。该项目包括一门新的一学分数学/工程实验课程，该课程至少在获奖期间开设。它旨在为主修数学和工程学科的大三和大四本科生提供支持，包括研究经验，专业发展，职业规划和咨询。一小群高级研究生具有指导功能，加强他们作为研究人员和教育工作者的职业准备。实验室对所有选修课程的学生开放，但奖学金获得者必须每学期注册一次。奖学金申请机制收集学生的学习成绩、专业水平和经济需要等信息，并确定学术和非学术支持的性质，以提高学生在两年内毕业的前景。奖学金每学年向大约36名本科生提供，在某种程度上，缓解了迫使许多人在学年期间从事兼职工作的经济需求。由于这种工作阻碍了他们参与工程学院正在进行的支持活动，这些学生以前没有与其他学生和教师形成网络。实验室的主要功能之一是为所有数学和工程专业的本科生提供组成同侪工作小组的机会。虽然研究生导师每学期都会为所有注册学生提供一些课程支持，但每个学期的实验室活动都会有所变化。第一学期的活动是专门为项目介绍。申请表明希望获得非学术支持服务的学生将被识别并引导到校园项目，如咨询中心、学生支持服务、学习体验中心和其他适当的服务。数学/工程学院在实验室里做演讲，招收学生参与当前的研究项目。在第二学期，奖学金学生需要准备一份研究计划，加入一个活跃的研究小组。在第三学期和第四学期，奖学金学生从事研究。实验室活动通过职业规划、面试技巧的发展和研究生院的指导为学生的研究生生涯做准备。该实验室为学生提供了一个论坛，让他们与雇佣数学/工程专业毕业生的行业代表会面。

(99), (21), (59) This project administers financial, academic, and non-academic support to a cohort of low income students whose academic merit is high. The project includes a new one credit Mathematics/Engineering Laboratory course being offered for at least the duration of the award. It is designed to provide support, including research experience, professional development, career planning, and counseling, to junior and senior undergraduate students majoring in mathematics and engineering disciplines. A small group of advanced graduate students have mentoring functions, enhancing their preparation for careers as researchers and educators. The lab is open to all students in selected courses, but registration in every semester is required of scholarship recipients. The application mechanism for scholarships solicits information on students' academic merit, professionalism, and financial need, and ascertains the nature of the academic and non-academic support that enhances students' prospects for graduation within two years. Scholarships to approximately thirty six undergraduates each academic year remedies, to some degree, the financial need that forces many to take part time employment during the academic year. Since such employment inhibits their participation in ongoing support activities in the College of Engineering, these students have not previously formed networks with other students and faculty. One of the primary functions of the laboratory is to provide all math and engineering undergraduates the opportunity to form peer working groups. Laboratory activities evolve each semester, although some course support for all registered students is provided by graduate student mentors in every semester. The first semester of activity is devoted to program orientation. Students whose application indicates the desire for non-academic support services are identified and directed to campus programs such as the Counseling Center, Student Support Services, the Center for Learning Experience, and other appropriate services. Math/Engineering faculty make presentations in the lab to recruit students to work on current research projects. During the second semester, scholarship students are required to prepare a research proposal to join an active research group. During the third and fourth semesters, scholarship students engage in research. Lab activities prepare students for their postgraduate careers through career planning, development of interview skills, and graduate school advisement. The laboratory serves as a forum for students to meet with representatives of industries that employ Math/Engineering graduates.
