Opportunities: Scholarships and Integrated Support for Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science and Computer Networking and Telecommunications Scholars

该项目每年向参加计算机科学、计算机网络、电信、工程或数学转学课程和/或进入劳动力市场的学生颁发28份奖学金，为期四年。该项目正在创建一个整合跨学科学习的连贯学习社区，以提供cems学科之间的联系，并通过提供通往cems学科内其他机会的途径来创造一种留住学生的方法。学院顾问和导师提供持续的学术和职业指导；确定实地经验、会议和实习的机会；并将cems项目服务与TRIO和并行招生计划相结合。该项目针对的是女性和代表性不足的少数族裔，她们几乎占其服务区域内K-12学生的一半。正在提供一个两学分的研讨会，以改善与企业的互动，培养跨学科的认识，并提供实地考察和工作见习的机会。二年级学生正在接受培训，担任一年级学生的导师。支助服务正在同cems活动结合起来。其中包括数学和科学俱乐部、儿童保育补贴、确定实习机会、基于能力的教育/学分计划和职业安置系统。

The project is awarding twenty-eight scholarships per year for four years to students enrolled in a computer science, computer networking, telecommunications, engineering or mathematics transfer program, and/or to enter the workforce.The project is creating a coherent learning community that integrates learning across disciplines to provide a connectedness between CSEMS disciplines and to create a method to retain students by providing a pathway to other opportunities within the CSEMS disciplines. Faculty advisors and mentors are providing continuous academic and career guidance; identifying opportunities for field experience, conferences, and internships; and integrating CSEMS project services with TRIO and Concurrent Enrollment Programs. The project is targeting women and underrepresented minorities, who make up almost half of the K-12 students within their service area.A two-credit seminar is being provided to improve interaction with business, foster awareness across disciplines, and to provide opportunities for site visits and job shadowing. Second year scholars are being trained to serve as mentors to first year scholars. Support services are being integrated with CSEMS activities. Included are math and science clubs, child-care subsidies, identification of internship opportunities, a competency-based Education/Credit program, and a career placement system.
