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.

项目摘要。百年学者项目允许具有较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，从而提供动手教育，与行业的合作伙伴关系以及在小课程中获得高级教师。每年将获得29美元的奖学金3,125美元。大多数奖学金是新生两年的奖项；这些奖学金将自动更新，以维持学生的资格。特别重点是与学者相比，与人口统计学上的群体相比，更成功地协助学者们克服了异常高的损耗（通常是新生入学的前五个季度和转学学生第一年的前五季度）。可用的支持服务包括校友提供行业经验的指导，数学和物理学的补充指导，优先获得学术丰富资源的访问以及动手研究的机会。提案号：PRINCIPAL调查员：机构名称：标题：NSF收到的日期：0123141PATTON，LINDACALIFORNIA POYTECHNIA州立大学基金会基金会中心学者：“通过进行“学习” Polytechnic教育NSF计算机科学，工程和数学奖学金计划5/01/01/01/01/01/01/01/01/01/01/2001
