This project is awarding scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students in the university's accelerated BS/Graduate engineering program. The students are completing an interdisciplinary educational and research program with an emphasis in engineering analysis, modeling, simulation, design, and control in one of three areas, namely, energy systems, biomedical systems, or aerospace systems. The S-STEM scholarship allows students to complete a non-thesis graduate program or to conduct research in an area of personal interest, rather than in an area of available funding. Women and students from underrepresented groups are being especially targeted for support. The students are participating in mentoring activities with faculty as part of their graduate program. Support structures previously in place at the university aimed only at undergraduates are now including a graduate component. Alumni and industry leaders in the region are also serving as role models to the students in the program, providing seminars and employment opportunities.

该项目向该大学加速学士学位/研究生工程课程中学术上有才华和经济上有困难的学生颁发奖学金。学生正在完成一个跨学科的教育和研究计划，重点是工程分析，建模，仿真，设计和控制三个领域之一，即能源系统，生物医学系统或航空航天系统。S-STEM奖学金允许学生完成非论文研究生课程或在个人感兴趣的领域进行研究，而不是在可用资金的领域。代表性不足群体的妇女和学生是特别需要支助的对象。作为研究生课程的一部分，学生们正在参加与教师的指导活动。该大学以前只针对本科生的支助结构现在包括研究生部分。该地区的校友和行业领袖也为该计划的学生提供榜样，提供研讨会和就业机会。
