Engineering - Chemical (53), Engineering - Civil (54), Engineering - Electrical (55), Engineering - Mechanical (56), Computer Science (31)This Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships (CSEMS) plan builds on existing support mechanisms established by the Center for Excellence in Engineering and Diversity (CEED) for upper-division students. The most powerful CEED retention strategies are being extended to upper-division, low-income students, providing a focused intervention program for the academic, personal, and career development of the forty selected CSEMS students. The plan supports a collaboration between School of Engineering and Applied Science senior faculty, CEED programs, and industry partners to provide the authority, expertise, management and resources to effectively develop, graduate, and place CSEMS students into career or graduate school positions. The objectives are: 1) to increase the number and professional attributes of CSEMS students entering the senior year and graduating in engineering and computer science; 2) to improve the academic performance of CSEMS and other CEED students in their major area; and 3) to provide a comprehensive plan for 100% of CSEMS targeted students to successfully transition to the high tech workforce or to graduate study. The Associate Dean/Principal Investigator (PI) chairs an NSF Academic Support Committee, with faculty members assigned as advisors for the all NSF CSEMS Scholars. Each NSF Scholar is matched to a faculty advisor/mentor. The PI and Co-PI meet with these faculty advisors every three weeks to assess the progress and needs of the NSF Scholarship recipients. Additionally, a Professional Development sub-committee is organizing career planning and corporate readiness workshops with members from the CEED Industry Advisory Board. These activities include: 1) critiqued video-taped mock job interviews, 2) resume critique sessions, 3) a career interest testing program, 4) a live interview and evaluation session with CEED Industry Advisory Board Members, and 6) corporate situational problem-solving activities designed by CEED Industry Advisory Board Members. The project leadership is collecting committee reports on student participation in programs and tabulating academic performance results. In addition, efficacy of program components is being assesed with the help of the following indicators: 1) a database for tracking course progress and time to graduation for NSF Scholars; 2) attendance at workshops and performance on quizzes provide monitoring and efficacy of workshops; 3) NSF Scholar GPA and number of scholars exceeding the 3.2 GPA norm for SEAS graduating seniors; and 4) the number of scholars securing summer internships and offers for career positions before graduation. The project aims to impact 80 underrepresented minority CSEMS students over the duration of the two-year grant.

工程-化学（53），工程-土木（54），工程-电气（55），工程-机械（56），计算机科学（31）这个计算机科学，工程和数学奖学金（CSEMS）计划建立在现有的支持机制，由卓越的工程和多样性中心（CEED）为高年级学生建立。最强大的CEED保留策略正在扩展到上师，低收入的学生，提供了一个有针对性的干预计划的学术，个人和职业发展的40名选定的CSEMS学生。该计划支持工程和应用科学学院高级教师、CEED项目和行业合作伙伴之间的合作，提供权威、专业知识、管理和资源，以有效地培养、毕业CSEMS学生并将其安置到职业或研究生院职位。其目标是：1）增加进入高年级和工程和计算机科学毕业的CSEMS学生的数量和专业属性; 2）提高CSEMS和其他CEED学生在其专业领域的学业成绩;和3）为100%的CSEMS目标学生提供全面的计划，以成功过渡到高科技劳动力或研究生学习。副院长/首席研究员（PI）主持一个NSF学术支持委员会，与教师分配为所有NSF CSEMS学者的顾问。每个NSF学者都与一位教师顾问/导师相匹配。PI和Co-PI每三周与这些教师顾问会面一次，以评估NSF奖学金获得者的进展和需求。此外，一个专业发展小组委员会正在与CEED行业咨询委员会的成员组织职业规划和企业准备讲习班。这些活动包括：1）批判录像模拟面试，2）恢复批判会议，3）职业兴趣测试计划，4）与CEED行业咨询委员会成员的现场面试和评估会议，以及6）由CEED行业咨询委员会成员设计的企业情境问题解决活动。项目领导正在收集委员会关于学生参与项目的报告，并将学习成绩制成表格。此外，计划组成部分的有效性正在评估与以下指标的帮助下：1）跟踪课程进度和毕业时间的NSF学者的数据库; 2）参加研讨会和测验的表现提供监测和研讨会的有效性; 3）NSF学者GPA和学生人数超过3.2 GPA标准的SEAS毕业生;以及4）在毕业前获得暑期实习和就业机会的学者人数。该项目的目标是在两年的赠款期间影响80名代表性不足的少数民族CSEMS学生。
