This project is creating a comprehensive scholars program for students whose goals are to pursue degrees and careers in high technology fields. The program provides $3,000 scholarships annually to 30 students who have academic ability and documented financial need, and who enroll full-time in our computer science, engineering, network technology or computer information systems (CSEM) associate degree programs. The program particularly targets women and first generation college students.Two activities in particular contribute to the overall success of the scholarship recipients, as well as other students enrolled in these high technology curricula. The activities are:(a) intensive instructional support for historically difficult classes. A supplemental instruction program assists students in the targeted curricula who are enrolled in classes that have high attrition rates. Each of the five courses identified as historically difficult is a requirement for at least one of the CSEMS degree programs.(b) creation of a community of scholars to engage students receiving the CSEMS scholarships, faculty, alumni, local high school faculty, and local industry representatives in developing relationships and fostering an environment that supports and inspires students to achieve. The project builds on existing relationships between high school faculty and guidance counselors to recruit and enroll academically gifted students. Student development events include annual scholars' reception, open house and a high technologies career forum. Opportunities for student enrichment activities, including internships with local industry, faculty mentoring, and field trips are being developed.The goals of the program are to increase the number of :(1) educated workers prepared for placement in the high technology careers, especially in the region.(2) students recruited, enrolled, retained, graduated and transferring in the CSEMS disciplines.(3) underrepresented populations (women and first generation college students) enrolled and graduated in CSEMS majors.(4) quality of support services and educational opportunities available to students enrolled in the targeted curricula.These goals are being assessed and evaluated by measuring annual rates of retention, graduation and transfer; subsequent success of transfer students at baccalaureate institutions; and employer satisfaction with our graduates.

该项目正在为目标是在高科技领域攻读学位和职业的学生创建一个全面的学者计划。该计划每年向30名具有学术能力和有文件证明的经济需求的学生提供3，000美元的奖学金，这些学生全日制参加我们的计算机科学，工程，网络技术或计算机信息系统（CSEM）副学士学位课程。该方案特别针对妇女和第一代大学生，有两项活动特别有助于奖学金获得者以及其他参加这些高技术课程的学生取得全面成功。这些活动是：（a）为历史上困难的班级提供强化教学支助。一个补充教学计划帮助学生参加有针对性的课程，这些课程是在高流失率的班级注册的。五门课程中的每一门都被确定为历史上困难的课程，这是至少一门CSEMS学位课程的要求。(b)创建一个学者社区，让获得CSEMS奖学金的学生，教师，校友，当地高中教师和当地行业代表参与发展关系，并营造一个支持和激励学生实现目标的环境。该项目建立在高中教师和指导顾问之间现有的关系，以招募和招收学术天赋的学生。学生发展活动包括年度学者招待会，开放日和高科技职业论坛。学生丰富活动的机会，包括实习与当地产业，教师指导，和实地考察正在开发。该计划的目标是增加的数量：（1）受过教育的工人准备在高科技职业安置，特别是在该地区。(2)学生在CSEMS学科招收，入学，保留，毕业和转移。(3)在CSEMS专业就读和毕业的人数不足的人口（妇女和第一代大学生）。(4)为目标课程的学生提供的支助服务和教育机会的质量，通过衡量每年的保留率、毕业率和转学率、转学生在学士学位机构的后续成功率以及雇主对我们毕业生的满意度，对这些目标进行评估和评价。
