Model Institutions for Excellence - Phase III

MIE第三阶段项目将在第一阶段和第二阶段成果的基础上完成计划，将UMET提升到下一个能力水平，并完成将其模型和最佳实践制度化并向其他机构传播的过程。 UMET将继续加强其学术课程，并利用机构资源向SUAGM SEM部门传播MIE课程开发过程。UMET将继续聘请更多的教师在选定领域的高级学位，提高教师在SEM领域的内容知识，提供改进的以学生为中心的教学计划，刺激教师的研究能力，开发一个改进的基础设施SEM研究和教育改善赠款，提高其能力，以评估教师的表现，并给予财政支持教师完成博士学位。 UMET将继续通过让本科生参与研究来改善学生支持/研究基础设施，为大学预科学生提供对SEM职业生涯的好处以及进行SEM研究所需的学术准备的更多了解，开展一系列协调的活动以吸引准备更充分的学生，并提供足够的学术支持服务以通过毕业留住他们。UMET将建造一座新的科学实验室大楼，并提高SUAGM所有SEM学院的计算机网络能力。UMET将在MIE项目第一和第二阶段建立的全面基础上，完成制度化。 在第三阶段结束时，UMET将有一个制度化的过程，保证由MIE发起的每个组成部分的充分资金。其中包括：学术计划，课程开发和评估，教师发展和支持，学生支持中心，大学预科课程，奖学金，学生实习和本科生研究，以及实验室升级和维护。UMET将有能力传播NSF/UMET/MIE模型。 该项目将在Arratia博士的指导下管理，他向UMET校长报告。

The MIE Phase III project will fulfill the plan which builds upon Phase I and II accomplishments, raises UMET to the next level of capability, and completes the process of institutionalizing and disseminating its model and best practices to other institutions. UMET will continue strengthening its academic program curriculum and disseminating the MIE curriculum development process to SUAGM SEM departments using institutional resources. UMET will continue hiring additional faculty with advanced degrees in selected areas, enhancing faculty content knowledge in SEM areas, delivering improved student-centered instructional programs, stimulating faculty research capability, developing an improved infrastructure for SEM research and educational improvement grants, improving its ability to assess faculty performance, and giving financial support to faculty completing doctoral degrees. UMET will continue to improve the student support/research infrastructure by involving undergraduate students in research, providing pre-college students with a greater appreciation of the benefits of careers in SEM and the academic preparation needed to pursue SEM studies, conducting a coordinated set of activities to attract better prepared students, and providing sufficient academic support services to retain them through graduation. UMET will construct a new science laboratory building and enhance the computer networking capability for all SEM faculties in SUAGM. UMET will build on the comprehensive foundation established during Phase I and II of the MIE Project by completing the institutionalization. At the conclusion of Phase III, UMET will have an institutionalization process in place that guarantees full funding for each of the components initiated by MIE. These include: the academic program, curriculum development and evaluation, faculty development and support, Student Support Center, pre-college programs, scholarships, student internships and undergraduate research, and laboratory upgrades and maintenance. UMET will have the capability to disseminate the NSF/UMET/MIE model. The project will be managed under the direction of Dr. Arratia, who reports to the Chancellor of UMET.
