This proposal expands the highly successful CSEMS scholarship program at Bronx Community College. Its goal is to increase the number of women and minority students majoring in computer science, mathematics, engineering, and engineering technology in order to prepare them for careers in high technology fields. The student population of the college is over 95% minority and 66% female. To date, the project has awarded 101 semester scholarships to 46 individual students, 18 women and 28 men. An Advisory Committee, supervised by the Vice-President of Academic Affairs, consisting of seven faculty members from the science departments chaired by the Principal Investigator, selects student scholarship recipients. The faculty develop selection criteria and evaluation procedures for student scholars. New students are being recruited from mathematics and science courses at the college and from local high schools. Intellectual Merit: Student scholars and the faculty constitute the CSEMS Academy, similar to the Science and Liberal Arts Academies and the Honors Program at the college. Each student is assigned a faculty member who is the student's mentor and advisor throughout the student's participation in the program. The Academy sponsors talks by alumni who are continuing their education or working in the high technology industry. It is a place where students form study groups and receive tutoring. Students are directed to the Office of Career Services for workshops on interviewing skills and resume writing. Eligible students have an opportunity to participate in paid research projects through the Alliance for Minority Participation program at the college and at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The program also seeks internships for students at local colleges and industries through coordination with other science division programs and projects. Broader Impacts: In addition to providing opportunities for students (most of whom are first generation college students) to see first hand what kinds of professional careers are available to them, the program has an impact on student retention. The overall success of the program is being based on the number of students who graduate and transfer to a four-year college or are employed full-time in a high technology area.

这项建议扩大了布朗克斯社区学院非常成功的CSEMS奖学金计划。 其目标是增加主修计算机科学、数学、工程和工程技术的妇女和少数民族学生的人数，以便为她们在高技术领域的职业生涯做好准备。 该学院的学生人口超过95%是少数民族和66%的女性。迄今为止，该项目已向46名学生（18名女生和28名男生）颁发了101个学期的奖学金。 一个由学术事务副总裁监督的咨询委员会，由主要研究员主持的科学部门的七名教师组成，选择学生奖学金获得者。学院为学生学者制定选择标准和评估程序。正在从该学院的数学和科学课程以及当地高中招收新生。 智力优势：学生学者和教师组成CSEMS学院，类似于科学和文科学院和学院的荣誉课程。 每个学生都被分配了一名教师，他是学生在整个学生参与计划期间的导师和顾问。学院赞助校友谁是继续他们的教育或在高科技行业工作的会谈。 这是一个学生组成学习小组并接受辅导的地方。 学生被引导到就业服务办公室参加面试技巧和简历写作的研讨会。 符合条件的学生有机会通过学院和布鲁克海文国家实验室的少数民族参与计划联盟参与有偿研究项目。该计划还通过与其他科学部门计划和项目的协调，为当地大学和行业的学生寻求实习机会。 更广泛的影响：除了为学生提供机会（其中大多数是第一代大学生），看看第一手什么样的职业生涯提供给他们，该计划对学生保留的影响。该计划的总体成功是基于毕业并转入四年制大学或在高科技领域全职工作的学生人数。
