Opportunities for Highly Motivated Engineering Students (OHMES)

工程学：跨学科（99）这个项目正在创建一个高度积极的新生工程学学生的队列，从地区高中招募，包括几个正在参与项目带路。 新生奖学金获得者居住在一个生活学习社区，由一群精选的高年级学生担任导师和同伴导师。 该群体得到学术、职业、咨询、辅导、招聘和信息服务的支持。 该项目每年根据经济需要颁发约35个奖学金，奖学金每年更新一次，最长可达4年，只要学习成绩合格。奖学金学生参加各种活动，包括访问当地高中，就各种工程主题进行演讲和演示。 他们每个人都有一名教师导师分配给他们，支持他们的学术、个人和专业发展。 该计划作为STEM高等教育环境中生活学习社区的典范。

ABSTRACTEngineering:Interdisciplinary (99)This project is creating a cohort of highly motivated freshman engineering students, recruited from regional high schools including several that are participating in Project Lead the Way. The freshman scholarship recipients are residing in a living learning community with a select group of upper-class students serving as tutors and peer mentors. The cohort is being supported by academic, career, advising, tutoring, recruiting and informational services. The project is awarding approximately 35 scholarships annually, based on financial need, and the scholarships are renewed annually for up to 4 years given acceptable academic performance.The scholarship students are engaging in various activities including visiting local high schools giving talks and demonstrations on a variety of engineering topics. They each have a faculty mentor assigned to them supporting their academic, personal and professional development. This program is serving as a model for a living learning community in STEM higher educational environments.
