Centennial Scholars: Access to "Learn by Doing" Polytechnic Education NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program

百年学者项目允许具有高学术潜力和经济需求的学生从实验室密集型课程中受益，该课程提供实践教育，与行业合作，并在小班中获得高级教师的帮助。每年有29个奖学金，每个奖学金3，125美元，颁发给数学、工业和制造工程、机械工程或计算机科学专业的学生。大多数奖学金是为新生提供的两年奖学金;这些奖学金在学生保持资格的情况下自动更新。一个特别强调的是，帮助学者克服异常高的损耗点（通常是新生入学的前五个季度和转学生的第一年）比人口统计学上可比的组更成功。可用的支持服务包括具有行业经验的校友的指导，数学和物理的补充教学，优先获得学术丰富资源，以及动手研究的机会。提案编号：校长：机构名称：职称：NSF接收日期：0123141巴顿，琳达加州理工州立大学基金会百年学者：获得“边做边学”的理工教育NSF计算机科学，工程和数学奖学金计划05/01/2001

Project Summary.The Centennial Scholars Project is allowing students with high academic potential and financial need to benefit from a laboratory-intensive curriculum providing hands-on education, partnerships with industry, and access to senior faculty in small classes. Twenty-nine scholarships of $3,125 each are being awarded annually to students majoring in mathematics, industrial and manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, or computer science. The majority of the scholarships are two-year awards for freshmen; these scholarships are automatically renewed providing the students maintain eligibility. A special emphasis is placed on assisting the scholars in overcoming points of unusually high attrition (normally the first five quarters of enrollment for freshmen and the first year for transfer students) more successfully than a demographically comparable group. The support services available include mentoring by alumni with industry experience, supplemental instruction in mathematics and physics, prioritized access to academic enrichment resources, and opportunities for hands-on research.
