NSF Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics Scholarships Program

这个提议的项目将对学生毕业所需的时间和学生的整体学术形象产生巨大影响。这个项目的学生将能够利用通常只有少数精选学生才能获得的本科研究机会。新墨西哥大学（UNM）工程学院（SOE）的五个系、数学系和MEMS项目提议使用NSF cems资金创建一个全面的项目，以确保在终止后保留学位完成、专业发展和职业安置。该计划将强调学术研究和工作场所需求之间的关系。该计划为学生，教师和工作人员提供机会，同时承担研究人员，教育工作者和学生的责任，因为他们追求共同努力，注入他们的工程和科学教育。本科生的研究经历尤其给人一种兴奋和发现的感觉。在我们的PI中，工程学院院长Paul Fleury博士，我们有一位领导者，他完全致力于我们的目标，即增加西班牙裔，非裔美国人和印第安人学生在学术成就表明学术界与工作场所之间的密切关系以及学术研究与研究之间的密切关系后，在学术上准备进入工作场所的人数。所有这些是如何相互补充和加强共生的。我们多年的经验使我们相信，有效的导师是培养优秀工程师和科学家的关键。当学生和教师在研究项目上一起工作时，对研究的热情投入是具有传染性的。我们课程的另一个关键方面是我们与企业，政府和其他组织的密切关系，为学生提供参与令人兴奋的活动的机会，使他们意识到在完成学士学位和高级学位后等待他们的巨大机会。暑期实习和合作实习为学生提供了接触各种现实世界工程经验的机会，加强了他们在新墨西哥大学学术工作的奉献精神。我们特别担心的是，通过我们的评估和文件编制过程，全国其他项目可以复制我们的成功，避免我们的失败。总之，我们真诚地相信，这个项目可以使我们现有的项目在为非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和印第安人在美国经济中获得应有的地位做好准备方面取得更大的成就。

This proposed program would have a dramatic impact on the time that it takes a student to graduate and in the overall academic profile of the student. Students in this project will be able to take advantage of undergraduate research opportunities that are often available to only a few select students. The five University of New Mexico (UNM) School of Engineering (SOE) departments, the Department of Mathematics and the MEMS program are proposing to use NSF CSEMS funding to create a comprehensive program to ensure retention to degree completion, professional development and career placement upon termination. The program will stress the relationships between academic studies and workplace needs.The program provides the opportunity for students, faculty and staff to concurrently assume responsibilities as researchers, educators and students as they pursue joint efforts that infuse their engineering and science education. The undergraduate research experiences especially provide a sense of excitement and discovery. In our PI, Dr. Paul Fleury, Dean of the School of Engineering, we have a leader who is totally committed to our goal of increasing the numbers of Hispanic, African-American and Native American students academically prepared to enter the workplace after academic achievements that have shown the close relationships between academia and the workplace, as well as the relationships between academic studies and research ??how all of these complement and reinforce one another symbiotically. Our years of experience have convinced us that effective mentors are key to producing outstanding engineers and scientists. The passionate devotion to research is contagious as students and faculty work together on research projects. Another key aspect of our programs is our close relationships with corporate, government and other organizations that provide the students with opportunities to participate in exciting activities that make them aware of the vast opportunities that await them as a result of their completion of BS and advanced degrees. Summer internships and co-op placements provide the students with exposure to a wide variety of real world engineering experiences that reinforce their dedication to their academic work at UNM. We are especially concerned that, through our evaluation and documentation processes, other programs nationwide can replicate our successes and avoid our failures. In summary, we sincerely believe that this program can enable our extant programs to make even greater future achievements in preparing African-American, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans to receive their rightful place in the American economy.
