Presidential Awards For Excellence In Science, Mathematics, & Engineering Mentoring

1999年，北卡罗来纳州州立大学（NC State）在授予妇女工程和计算机科学学士学位的数量方面名列全国领先大学之列。目前，妇女约占北卡罗来纳州立大学5097名本科工程入学人数的20%。 700多名少数民族学生就读于本科工程和计算机科学课程。 负责北卡罗来纳州成功的方案努力开始与小学和中学的访问，旨在鼓励孩子们将数学和科学视为有趣的学科，他们有能力。 这些访问继续通过高中与更多的公开招聘。为期一周的校园住宿计划使高中生接触工程和计算机科学。 夏季和大一早期的经验提供桥梁高中到大学，并培养学生的适应和成熟。本科生参加学生辅导计划，并作为高年级学生，有资格参加研究活动。

In 1999, North Carolina State University (NC State) ranked among the nation's leading universities in the number of baccalaureate degrees in engineering and computer science awarded to women. Currently, women comprise about 20% of NC State's undergraduate engineering enrollment of 5,097. More than 700 minority students are enrolled in the undergraduate engineering and computer science program. Programmatic efforts responsible for NC State's success begin with elementary and middle school visits designed to encourage children to view mathematics and science as fun disciplines for which they have ability. These visits continue through high school with more overt recruiting. A weeklong campus residential program exposes high school students to engineering and computer sciences. Summer and early freshman year experiences are offered to bridge high school to college and to foster student acclimation and maturation. Undergraduates are enrolled in a student mentoring program and, as upperclassmen, become eligible to participate in research activities.
