AbstractIt is the intent of this project to focus efforts, during the 2005-06 academic year and 2006summer, on enhancing the mentoring capabilities of faculty members at Elizabeth CityState University with regards to their ability to motivate and train minority studentswithin The Mathematics and Computer Science Department and The Geological,Environmental and Marine Science Department.In support of the NSF Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics andEngineering Mentoring (PAESMEM) program, this proposed project will increase thenumber of faculty at ECSU, who are well trained, in mentoring underrepresented groupsin mathematics, computer science, marine and environmental science. The supplementalfunds will support expansion of faculty mentoring efforts of minority majors within thetargeted departments. The project will also provide faculty with training based on bestpractices of the NSF PAESMEM program.Faculty members will be expected to work during the academic year or summer with ateam of undergraduate STEM majors. During the academic year, structured meeting willbe held between faculty and students on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from midSeptember through early April and for 8 weeks during the summer of 2006. Theemphasis will be on promoting the professional development of students while teachingthem the fundamentals of research within their major fields. The faculty emphasis willbe on promoting the ability of the faculty in interacting with students, providingsupportive environment for students, and conveying the techniques of research in theirrespective fields. This will enhance faculty ability to provide the out of classroomexperience that the students will need to be accepted into and successfully completegraduate school. During the summer program faculty will work on an intense 8 weekproject with a team of students. The proposed project will impact a total of 6 STEMfaculty and 10 STEM students.

本项目的目的是在2005-06学年和2006年夏季集中精力，提高伊丽莎白城州立大学教师的指导能力，提高他们在数学和计算机科学系以及地质学系激励和培训少数民族学生的能力。环境与海洋科学系。为了支持NSF总统科学、数学和工程指导卓越奖（PAESMEM）计划，该拟议项目将增加ECSU的教师人数，他们在数学、计算机科学、海洋和环境科学方面都受过良好的训练，这笔资金将用于支持目标系内少数民族专业的教师指导工作的扩大。该项目还将为教师提供基于NSF PAESMEM项目最佳实践的培训。教师将有望在学年或夏季与STEM专业的本科团队合作。在学年期间，教师和学生之间的结构会议将举行周二和周四晚上从九月中旬至四月初和8周在2006年夏季。重点将是促进学生的专业发展，同时教他们在其主要领域的研究基础。教师的重点将是提高教师与学生互动的能力，为学生提供支持性的环境，并传达在无关领域的研究技术。这将提高教师提供课外经验的能力，学生将需要被接受并成功完成研究生学业。在暑期项目期间，教师将与学生团队一起进行为期8周的紧张项目。拟议的项目将影响6个STEM教师和10个STEM学生。
