Increasing Access and Diversity in Technology Programs

该项目以CSEMS以前的奖学金项目为基础，将向土木工程、机械、电子工程、机械制造和微电子等专业的全日制学生颁发55个为期两年的奖学金，这些学生既有学术潜力，又有经济需求。此外，12个为期一年的奖学金将授予将在俄勒冈理工学院攻读学士学位的S-STEM学者。正在进行一项特别努力，以吸引来自代表性不足群体的有学术天赋的学生。该项目正在提高可用于留住和安置职业的学生支助结构的质量和数量。该项目的优势包括将学者组织到由个性化建议和教师指导等活动支持的队列中，利用从以前的CSEMS项目中学到的经验来提高该项目的成功概率，以及当地行业委员会为转到OIT攻读学士学位的学生提供第四年的学习资金。

This project that builds on a previous CSEMS scholarship project will award 55 two-year scholarships to full-time students in Civil, Mechanical, Electronic Engineering, Machine Manufacturing, and Microelectronics who demonstrate both academic potential and financial need. Additionally, twelve one-year scholarships will be awarded to S-STEM scholars who will pursue a bachelor's degree at Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT). A special effort is being made to attract academically talented students from underrepresented groups. The project is increasing the quality and number of student support structures available for retention and career placement. Among the strengths of the project are the organization of the scholars into cohorts supported by activities such as individualized advisement and faculty mentoring, the use of lessons learned from the previous CSEMS project to improve the probability of success of this project, and local industry committment to fund the fourth year of studies for students transferring to OIT in pursuit of a bachelor's degree.
