The goal of this project is to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who are majoring in biology (non-medical), chemistry, computer science, engineering, electrical engineering technology, environmental technology, earth systems and environmental science, mathematics, physics, and telecommunication technology to prepare them for careers in technology fields. Students are being recruited from mathematics and science courses at the college and from local high schools.Intellectual Merit: In addition to receiving financial support, S-STEM student/scholars and faculty participate in the Mathematics, Engineering, Technology, and Science (METS) Academy, modeled on the Science Academy and the Honors Program, in which each student is assigned a faculty mentor. The Academy sponsors talks, offers tutoring, provides students with information about research opportunities, and encourages them to enroll in the Research Enrichment Seminar. Students are directed to Career Services for workshops on interviewing and resume writing and to the Transfer Center as they approach graduation.Broader Impacts: The program is having a major impact on student retention and graduation. It builds on the highly successful CSEMS scholarship program, which supported 78 students and had a 91% retention rate. The success of the S-STEM program is being evaluated by the percentage of students who graduate and transfer to a STEM major at a four-year college or find employment in the technology area; increased enrollment in STEM fields; and the number of high school students who enroll in STEM programs at the college.

该项目的目标是增加来自代表性不足的群体的学生人数，这些学生主修生物（非医学）、化学、计算机科学、工程、电气工程技术、环境技术、地球系统和环境科学、数学、物理和电信技术，为他们在技术领域的职业生涯做好准备。学生是从大学的数学和科学课程以及当地高中招收的。智力优势：除了获得财政支持外，S-STEM学生/学者和教师还参加数学，工程，技术和科学（METS）学院，该学院以科学院和荣誉计划为模型，其中每个学生都被分配了一名教师导师。学院赞助讲座，提供辅导，为学生提供有关研究机会的信息，并鼓励他们参加研究充实研讨会。学生们被引导到就业服务中心参加面试和简历写作的研讨会，并在毕业前夕前往转学中心。更广泛的影响：该计划对学生的保留率和毕业率产生了重大影响。它建立在非常成功的cems奖学金项目的基础上，该项目支持了78名学生，保留率为91%。S-STEM项目的成功与否是通过四年制大学毕业后转入STEM专业或在技术领域就业的学生比例来评估的；增加STEM领域的入学人数；以及在大学参加STEM项目的高中生人数。
