This project combats the shortage of mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers by supporting 40 academically talented, low- income students who are making the transition from a two- year to a four- year institution. We provide these students with a strong support infrastructure and resources they need to graduate and find rewarding careers in engineering, mathematics, and computer science. Supporting activities take place in the student's final year of study at the community college and continue in his/ her first year at the four- year institution, including: faculty mentors; forums promoting interaction with faculty, industry representatives, and other students; and academic tutoring. Students are encouraged to take part in professional societies, co- op experiences, and research opportunities. We will assist graduates with job placement and/ or application for graduate school.

这个项目通过支持40名学术天赋好的低收入学生来解决数学家、计算机科学家和工程师的短缺问题，这些学生正在从两年制大学过渡到四年制大学。我们为这些学生提供他们毕业并在工程，数学和计算机科学领域找到有价值的职业所需的强大支持基础设施和资源。支持活动发生在学生的学习在社区学院的最后一年，并继续在他/她的第一年在四年制的机构，包括：教师导师;论坛促进与教师，行业代表和其他学生的互动;和学术辅导。 鼓励学生参加专业社团、合作经验和研究机会。 我们将协助毕业生就业和/或申请研究生院。
