Advancing Diversity and Excellence in Mathematics and Computer Science

该项目名为“推进数学和计算机科学的多样性和卓越性”，增强了现有的保留和数学毕业计划，并在计算机科学计划中复制这些成功的活动。目标是增加少数民族和妇女在多明格斯山加州州立大学两个目标学科的入学率，并及时获得学士学位。重点是进入这两个专业的大三转学生和选择其中一个专业的女生总数。除了赠款提供的奖学金援助外，该项目还设立了一个由教职员工提供指导的计划，并由代表当地行业的个人进行一系列演讲，这些行业雇用了该机构的许多毕业生。一个计算机科学专业的中心被开发;这是基于一个在数学课程中取得成功的模型。在校园就业的各种实验室和辅导中心是为那些有兴趣获得额外的实践经验的学生安排的，该计划通过将尽可能多的学生放在夏季研究经验中来奖励和表彰其学生的卓越表现。该项目的最终目标是培训那些由于贫困、文化背景或性别原因可能无法进入或完成数学和计算机科学领域课程的人，并使他们进入劳动力市场。

The project entitled "Advancing Diversity and Excellence in Mathematics and Computer Science" enhances existing retention and graduation programs in mathematics and replicates these successful activities in the program in computer science. The goal is to increase the percentage of ethnic minorities and women who enroll in the two target disciplines at California State University, Dominguez Hills, and who graduate in a timely manner with a Bachelor's degree. The focus is on junior transfer students who enter these two majors and on the overall number of female who select one of these majors. In addition to the scholarship assistance provided by the grant, the project institutes a program of mentoring by faculty and staff and a series of presentations by individuals representing the local industries that hire many of the institution's graduates. A center for computer science majors is developed; this is based on a model that has enjoyed success in the mathematics program. On- campus employment in various labs and tutoring centers is arranged for those students interested in gaining additional practical experience, and the program rewards and recognizes excellence in its students by placing as many as possible in summer research experiences. The ultimate goal of the project is the training and entry into the workforce of individuals who for reasons of poverty, cultural background, or gender might not otherwise enter or complete programs in the fields of mathematics and computer science.
