Encouraging Interdisciplinary Learning in Science, Math, and Computing

学院正在增加在STEM领域毕业的学生数量，并为这些毕业生的职业生涯或研究生院做更好的准备。该项目面向有才能但经济困难的学生，特别强调妇女、少数民族和残疾人。活动包括：指导、辅导、实习和研究机会。还有一些研讨会，讨论诸如研究生院探索、专业精神、简历准备和研究技能等主题。通过与当地企业和国家机构的协调，已经建立了新的实习/研究机会。作为这些活动的结果，该项目预计100%的系统项目毕业生要么进入研究生院就读，要么找到工作。在为期四年的项目期间，该计划每年将为20名参与者提供支持。项目申请者必须有3.0或更高的GPA，并且必须正式接受以下项目之一：计算机科学，数学，化学，生物或生物化学。知识价值。该项目通过使年轻毕业生多样化，并确保他们为职业生涯的下一步做好充分准备，促进了对STEM领域的认识和理解。更广泛的影响。该项目旨在通过促进研究和实习机会来鼓励主动学习。S-STEM项目符合学院增加本科生研究和实习机会的努力，通过将高科技工作场所的需求与准备充分但传统上得不到服务的年轻人相匹配，可以产生广泛的影响。

The College is increasing the number of students graduating in STEM fields and better preparing these graduates for their careers or graduate school. The program targets talented but financially disadvantaged students with a special emphasis on women, minorities, and people with disabilities.Activities include: mentoring, tutoring, internships, and research opportunities. There are also workshops that address such topics as graduate school exploration, professionalism, resume preparation, and research skills. By coordinating with local businesses and state agencies, new internship/research opportunities have been established. As a result of these activities, the project expects 100% of SSTEM program graduates to either enroll in graduate school or find employment.The program is designed to support 20 participants during each year of the four-year project period. Program applicants are required to have a GPA of 3.0 or greater and must be formally accepted into one the following programs: Computer Science, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, or Biochemistry.Intellectual Merit. This project advances knowledge and understanding in the STEM fields by diversifying the pool of young graduates and ensuring that they are well-prepared for the next step in their careers. Broader Impacts. The project is designed to encourage active learning by promoting research and internship opportunities. The S-STEM project fits into the College's effort to increase both undergraduate student research and internship opportunities and can have a broad impact by matching the needs of the high technology workplace with well-prepared but traditionally underserved youth.
