This project is providing scholarships to students in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences that enable the recipients to pursue studies full-time, enhance their educational experience, and enter the workforce in computer science and engineering fields. The College consists of 3 departments: Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Academic criteria for the scholarships include high GPA, strong letters of reference, and a well-thought out written plan of study. Professional criteria include participation in mentoring or other service activities and student organizations. Students develop leadership skills and career goals.Intellectual Merit: The scholarships enable the best students to concentrate on studies, and reduce the time spent obtaining a degree. Recipients are encouraged to explore creative and original ideas through senior design projects, participation in regional and national contests, independent study credits, and internships. Broader Impact: The project is preparing qualified workers in crucial computer science and engineering areas for local companies. It benefits underrepresented minority, rural, women and disabled students. It enhances the already-close relationship with local industry, leading to improved cooperation in research technology transfer..

该项目为工程和应用科学学院的学生提供奖学金，使获奖者能够全日制学习，提高他们的教育经验，并进入计算机科学和工程领域的劳动力市场。学院由3个系组成：计算机科学，电气和计算机工程，机械和航空航天工程。 奖学金的学术标准包括高GPA，强有力的推荐信和深思熟虑的书面学习计划。专业标准包括参与指导或其他服务活动和学生组织。学生培养领导能力和职业目标。智力优势：奖学金使最优秀的学生能够集中精力学习，减少获得学位的时间。鼓励获奖者通过高级设计项目，参加区域和国家竞赛，独立学习学分和实习来探索创造性和原创性的想法。更广泛的影响：该项目正在为当地公司培养关键计算机科学和工程领域的合格工人。它使代表性不足的少数民族、农村、妇女和残疾学生受益。它加强了与当地工业已经密切的关系，从而改善了研究技术转让方面的合作。
