DUE-0094841This project provides scholarships to qualified minority students enrolled in computer science, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The program leverages the activities of an existing Minority Engineering Program in support of the scholars. Scholars are mentored by both upper class students and alumni, participate in regular group meetings, and are encouraged to become involved in student activities within the college. Students at risk of failing physics are provided with an economic incentive to enroll in a special preparatory course and in the follow- on optional tutorial sections which feature state-of-the-art educational technologies that have been integrated with innovative pedagogy. Preliminary results show that the approach can significantly reduce the failure rate in the standard calculus-based physics course. By combining special classroom experiences with supportive services, the program seeks to retain talented, financially disadvantaged minority students pursuing in bachelor's degrees in computer science, engineering and mathematics.

DUE-0094841该项目为计算机科学、工程和数学学科的合格少数民族学生提供奖学金。该计划利用现有的少数民族工程计划的活动，以支持学者。学者们由上层学生和校友指导，参加定期小组会议，并鼓励参与大学内的学生活动。有可能物理不及格的学生可以获得经济奖励，参加特别预备课程和后续可选辅导课程，这些课程采用了与创新教学法相结合的最先进的教育技术。初步结果表明，该方法可以显着降低不及格率在标准的微积分为基础的物理课程。通过将特殊的课堂体验与支持性服务相结合，该计划旨在留住有才华、经济上处于不利地位的少数民族学生，这些学生正在攻读计算机科学、工程和数学学士学位。
