Collaborative Research: NCSU/NC A&T Program for STEM Enrollment Enhancement

北卡罗来纳州立大学(NCSU)和北卡罗来纳农业技术州立大学(NC A&A；T)正在合作开发一个旨在增加科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)毕业生数量的项目。具体的计划内容包括在NCSU为尚未选择专业的应届高中生举办夏令营，在NCSU和NC A&A；T为STEM新生准备入门大学科学和数学课程的夏季桥梁计划，两所学校的本科生研究计划，STEM专业的辅导和辅导，以及两个校区之间的教师交流计划。一个全面的监测计划包括跟踪计划中的所有学生，并提供评估每个计划元素所需的数据。该计划的成功将导致STEM毕业生人数的增加，这既是通过增加进入专业的数量，也是通过增加保留率。

North Carolina State University (NCSU) and North Carolina Agricultural and TechnicalState University (NC A&T) are collaborating in developing a program designed toincrease the number of graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM). Specific program elements include a summer camp at NCSU for graduatinghigh school students who have not selected their majors, summer bridge programs at bothNCSU and NC A&T designed to prepare new STEM students for introductory collegescience and math courses, undergraduate research programs at both schools, tutoring andmentoring of STEM majors and a faculty exchange program between the two campuses.A comprehensive monitoring program is included to track all students in the program andto provide the data required to evaluate each program element. Success in the programwill result in an increase in the number of STEM graduates, through both an increase inthe number of entering majors and an increase in retention.
