Support, Mentorship, Accountability, Research and Training (SMART): A Sustainable, Thriving Program in Mathematical Sciences

该项目授予20个奖学金，每年3125美元，为期4年，资助全日制本科生和研究生，学习具有挑战性的数学和计算机科学课程。它维持了以前的CSEMS拨款在建立研究生项目方面取得的成就；支持新成立的荣誉学院的数学和计算机科学专业的学生；并增加了少数族裔在数学和计算机科学领域的就业人数。它包括学生的研究经验；参加部门座谈会；为学生提供银行、医院、工业实习机会；并增加了准备充分的非裔美国人和西班牙裔学生的数量，他们成功地竞争进入数学和计算机科学研究生课程。该项目包括一个内置的强大支持系统，使学生能够处理严格的程序。智力优势：该项目延续了以前成功的cems项目，并通过大学荣誉项目将其扩展到新的领域。教师和学生之间的密集非正式互动论坛旨在激发学生的潜在才能。更广泛的影响：该计划的毕业生受雇于当地的高中和大学，并将教学数学的哲学和成功的文化传授给他们的学生和同事。

This project awards 20 scholarships of $3,125 per year for 4 years to full-time undergraduate and graduate financially disadvantaged talented students to follow a challenging program in mathematics and computer science. It sustain the gains made in building graduate program by a previous CSEMS grant; supports mathematics and computer science students in the newly formed Honors College; and increases the number of minority individuals employed in the fields of mathematics and computer science. It includes student research experience; participation in departmental colloquia; provides internships for students in banks, hospitals, and industry; and increases the number of well-prepared African American and Hispanic students who successfully compete for admission to graduate programs in mathematics and computer science. The project includes a built in strong support system that enables students to handle the rigors of the program.Intellectual merit: The program continues a successful previous CSEMS project and extends it into new areas with the University Honors Program. Forums for intensive informal interaction between faculty and students are designed to bring out latent talents in students.Broader impact: Graduates of the program are hired in area high schools and colleges, and impart the philosophy of teaching mathematics and the culture of success in the program to their students and colleagues.
