The Engineering/Education Partnership Scholars Program

工程/教育伙伴奖学金计划是一个创新的、跨学科的两年期奖学金计划，将专业发展、社区服务和技术教育完美结合，面向低收入的工程、计算机科学和应用数学本科生。精选合作学者经历了一项密集而综合的教育计划，最终获得工程、计算机科学或应用数学本科学位，并辅修教育，最终获得纽约州教师资格证书。从第二年开始，学者们被提供了多个建议和指导途径。在二年级和三年级的暑假期间，他们参加旨在支持专业发展的特别研讨会。在三年级和四年级之间的暑假，他们自己与中学生一起担任导师，作为辅修教育的教学时间的一部分。该项目的这些主要内容结合在一起，为低收入学生创建了一个全面的发展模式，为他们提供了一套综合的教育经验，从而成功地完成了纽约州的工程学学位和初步教师资格认证。该计划的一个次要和重要的目标是创建一种可持续的教师培训模式，将技术能力强的教师大量注入城市学校系统。

The Engineering/ Education Partnership Scholar Program is an innovative, interdisciplinary two- year scholarship program that seamlessly integrates professional development, community service, and technical education for low income engineering, computer science and applied mathematics undergraduates. Selected Partnership Scholars experience an intense and integrated educational program leading to an undergraduate degree in either engineering, computer science or applied math and an education minor resulting in initial New York State Teacher Certification. Scholars are provided with multiple advising and mentoring tracks starting in their second year. During the summer of their sophomore and junior year, they participate in special workshops designed to support professional development. In the summer between their junior and senior year, they work with secondary school students as mentors themselves as part of their teaching hours for the education minor. These major elements of the project combine to create a comprehensive development model for low- income students providing them with an integrated set of educational experiences leading to successful completion of both an engineering degree as well as initial Teacher Certification in New York State. A secondary and important objective of this program is the creation of a sustainable teacher- training model that significantly infuses technology- competent teachers into urban school systems.
