This project is providing scholarships to allow students to pursue degrees in mathematics or engineering. The project is also designed to impact two year terminal and transfer computer science programs. The overall objective of the program is to provide a firm foundation in skills necessary for students to transfer from the community college to a four-year university and successfully complete a Bachelor's Degree.The project has four main goals :1) to recruit students to major in computer science, engineering, or mathematics (CSEM).2) to provide students the needed faculty and facilities support to major in a CSEM discipline.3) to use proven educational techniques in combination with effective use of instructional technology in a positive atmosphere.4) to retain students as CSEM majors by providing tutoring, mentoring and peer support.This project builds on another NSF supported project "Improving Student Learning in PreCalculus and Calculus Through Effective Implementation of Technology." This project is enabling the college to install a mathematics computer lab which permits the math faculty to incorporate lab exercises into precalculus and calculus courses. The grant also provides funds for math faculty professional development.This project is designed to recruit and retain students that have the academic ability but lack the financial means to attend a university as CSEM major. In particular this project is targeting financially needy students from small rural schools.

该项目提供奖学金，使学生能够攻读数学或工程学位。该项目还旨在影响两年的终端和转移计算机科学课程。该计划的总体目标是为学生从社区学院转入四年制大学并成功完成学士学位所需的技能奠定坚实的基础。该项目有四个主要目标：1）招收计算机科学、工程、2）为学生提供所需的教师和设施支持，以主修CSEM学科。3）在积极的氛围中使用经过验证的教育技术与有效使用教学技术相结合。通过提供辅导，指导和同伴支持来留住学生成为CSEM专业的学生。该项目建立在另一个NSF支持的项目“通过有效的技术实施来提高学生在微积分和微积分中的学习”之上。“这个项目使学院能够安装一个数学计算机实验室，允许数学教师将实验室练习纳入微积分和微积分课程。该补助金还为数学教师的专业发展提供资金。该项目旨在招募和留住具有学术能力但缺乏经济手段进入大学作为CSEM专业的学生。特别是，该项目的对象是来自小型农村学校的经济困难学生。
