Texas LSAMP Phase IV

德克萨斯农工大学系统（TAMUS） LSAMP第四阶段将扩展三个机构的联盟：1)德克萨斯农工大学（TAMU），一级研究机构；2)草原景观农工大学（PVAMU），一所历史悠久的黑人大学；3)德克萨斯农工大学-科珀斯克里斯蒂大学（TAMUCC），一所西班牙裔服务机构。为了维持tamus LSAMP第一、第二和第三阶段取得的成果，联盟机构将与5所社区学院建立牢固的联系，这5所社区学院都有大量未被充分代表的少数民族（URM）学生。社区学院有帕洛阿尔托学院（圣安东尼奥）；北哈里斯蒙哥马利学院，包括北哈里斯和Cy-Fair校区；休斯顿社区学院东北校区；和德尔玛学院（科珀斯克里斯蒂）。智力优势- TAMUS LSAMP IV的目标是扩大代表性不足的少数民族（URM）在科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）学科的参与，以成功完成学士学位，并准备好进入博士课程。目标包括:1。通过与联盟机构的整合互动，加强社区学院的合作关系，以招收URM学生进入stem专业。2 .扩大STEM URM本科生的保留工作，重点是第一年，并将URM学生转移到联盟机构。3 .促进和鼓励乌拉尔大学学生攻读博士学位，并建立一个从本科到研究生阶段和跨联盟机构的学者社区。为TAMUS LSAMP iv的精选学生提供国际经验，以增加和多样化全球培训的stem毕业生群体。TAMU学院院长兼副教务长Karan Watson博士和电气工程教务教授将与TAMU执行副总裁兼教务长David Prior博士共同参与；Karen Butler-Purry博士，TAMU电气工程教授，现任TAMUS LSAMP三期项目主任；Milton Bryant， PVAMU工程学院院长；以及TAMUCC科技学院院长Frank Pezold博士。这些研究人员将寻求发现成功的机制，以提高乌尔班医科大学的学生保留率、毕业率和博士学位的追求，以及乌尔班医科大学的学生参与国际留学。更广泛的影响- PVAMU（一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学）和TAMUCC（一所西班牙裔服务机构）的参与将扩大URM团体对STEM的参与，TAMU（一个研究密集型机构）和5个社区学院合作伙伴的参与也将扩大，因为它们都招收了大量的URM学生。第四期课程将通过增加大学管理学院团体的参与，以及在本科和研究生阶段提供机会和活动，从而提高大学管理学院学生的教育和职业水平，从而造福社会。LSAMP IV还将通过促进联盟机构的本科研究和追求STEM研究生和博士学位，以及通过复制和传播URM社区学院转校生的成功模式，加强研究和教育的基础设施。

The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) LSAMP Phase IV will extend analliance of three institutions: 1) Texas A&M University (TAMU), a Tier I researchinstitution, 2) Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), a Historically Black Collegeand University, and 3) Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMUCC), anHispanic Serving Institution. To sustain gains made during Phase I, II, and III of theTAMUS LSAMP, alliance institutions will develop strong ties with 5 communitycolleges, which each have large underrepresented minority (URM) student enrollment.The community colleges are Palo Alto College (San Antonio); North Harris MontgomeryCollege, both the North Harris and Cy-Fair campuses; Houston Community College-Northeast campus; and Del Mar College (Corpus Christi).INTELLECTUAL MERIT - TAMUS LSAMP IV has a GOAL of broadening theparticipation of underrepresented minorities (URM) in science, technology,engineering or mathematics (STEM) disciplines to the successful completion of abachelor's degree and who are well prepared and ready to matriculate into adoctoral program.Objectives include:1. Enhance community college partnerships for recruitment of URM students intoSTEM majors through integrated interactions with alliance institutions.2. Expand retention efforts for STEM URM undergraduates with a focus on firstyearand transfer URM students at alliance institutions.3. Promote and encourage URM student pursuit of doctoral degrees and building ofa community of scholars from the undergraduate to graduate school levels andacross alliance institutions.4. Provide international experience for a select group of TAMUS LSAMP IVstudents for increasing and diversifying the pool of globally trained STEMgraduatesPI Dr. Karan Watson, Dean of Faculties and Associate Provost, and RegentsProfessor of Electrical Engineering, TAMU, will be joined by co-PIs: Dr. David Prior,Executive Vice-President and Provost, TAMU; Dr. Karen Butler-Purry, Professor ofElectrical Engineering, TAMU, and current TAMUS LSAMP Phase III Project Director;Dr. Milton Bryant, Dean of Engineering, PVAMU; and Dr. Frank Pezold, Dean ofScience and Technology, TAMUCC. These research faculty will seek to advancediscovery of successful mechanisms to increase URM student retention, graduation andpursuit of doctoral degrees, and URM student involvement in international study abroad.BROADER IMPACTS - The involvement of PVAMU, a Historically Black College andUniversity, and TAMUCC, an Hispanic Serving Institution, will broaden the participationin STEM of URM groups, as will participation by TAMU, as research intensiveinstitution, and 5 community college partners since all enroll large numbers of URMstudents. LSAMP IV will benefit society by increasing participation of URM groups inSTEM, and by providing opportunities and activities at the undergraduate and graduatelevels that lead to educational and career enhancements of URM students.LSAMP IV will also enhance the infrastructure of research and education byadvancing undergraduate research and pursuit of graduate and doctoral STEM degrees atalliance institutions and through the replication and dissemination of successful modelsfor URM community college transfer students.
