NSF Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics Scholarships Program

这一拟议的项目将对学生毕业所需的时间和学生的整体学术状况产生重大影响。这个项目的学生将能够利用本科生的研究机会，这些机会通常只有几个精选的学生才能获得。新墨西哥大学(UNM)工程学院(SOE)的五个系、数学系和MEMS项目正提议利用NSF CSEMS资金创建一个综合项目，以确保在毕业后保留到学位完成、专业发展和职业安置。该计划将强调学术研究和工作需要之间的关系。该计划为学生、教职员工提供机会，在他们共同努力注入他们的工程和科学教育的同时，承担起研究人员、教育工作者和学生的责任。本科生的研究经历尤其提供了一种兴奋和发现的感觉。在我们的PI中，我们有一位工程学院院长保罗·弗勒里博士，他完全致力于我们的目标，即在取得学术成就后，增加拉美裔、非裔美国人和美洲原住民学生进入工作场所的人数，这些成就表明了学术和工作之间的密切关系，以及学术研究和研究之间的关系？所有这些如何相互补充和加强。我们多年的经验使我们相信，有效的导师是培养杰出工程师和科学家的关键。当学生和教职员工在研究项目上共同努力时，对研究的热情是有感染力的。我们项目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，这些组织为学生提供参与令人兴奋的活动的机会，使他们意识到完成理科学士学位和高级学位后等待他们的巨大机会。暑期实习和合作社实习为学生提供了接触各种现实世界工程经验的机会，这些经验加强了他们在UNM的学术工作。我们尤其担心，通过我们的评估和记录过程，全国范围内的其他项目可以复制我们的成功，避免我们的失败。总而言之，我们真诚地相信，这一计划能够使我们现有的计划在未来取得更大的成就，帮助非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和美洲原住民在美国经济中获得他们应有的地位。

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.
