BPC-DP: CSTEP: Computer Science TransfEr Programs

南佛罗里达大学（USF）与希尔斯堡社区学院（HCC）共同提出了一系列协调项目，旨在扩大西班牙裔以及其他未被充分代表的少数族裔学生在计算机领域的参与。拟议的项目将建立教育途径，并为学生在其教育旅程的关键点上成功过渡提供支持，从社区学院到学士学位水平，从学士学位到研究生水平。程序是建立在合作机构的优势:肝细胞癌?it’成功的个性化建议、指导和跟踪计划和USF？我们利用对本科生的研究经验作为招聘、留用和提升的工具。一项个性化的咨询服务和两个结合研究和学术课程的暑期项目被提议来招募、留住社区大学的学生，并为他们进入四年制大学做准备。咨询服务将密切跟踪学生，以确保他们选择并继续选择所选择的道路。学术课程，包括重要的编程和数学组成部分，将使转学生达到入学USF计算机科学与工程系的学术要求。研究部分将为他们以后参加本科生研究经验（REU）项目铺平道路。这些暑期课程将由南加州大学和HCC教授设计和实施，创建一个新的学习社区，并将永久扩展到HCC教室。普遍服务基金?大学为大三和大四学生开设的REU项目将帮助转学生毕业，并为他们进入研究生院和工作做好准备。这些研究项目也意味着在这些学生、南加州大学的研究生和教授之间建立一个学习社区。

The University of South Florida (USF) together with Hillsborough Community College (HCC) proposes a series of coordinated programs designed to broaden the participation of Hispanic as well as other underrepresented minority students in computing. The proposed programs will establish the educational pathway and provide the support that students need to make successful transitions at critical points in their educational journey from the community college to the baccalaureate level and from the baccalaureate to the graduate level. The programs are built upon the strengths of the partnering institutions: HCC?s successful personalized advising, mentoring, and tracking initiatives and USF?s research experience with undergraduates are utilized as recruiting, retention, and enhancement tools. A personalized advising service and two summer programs combining research and academic courses are proposed to recruit, retain, and prepare community college students on their path toward 4-yr universities. The advising service will track students very closely to make sure they take and continue in the chosen path. The academic courses, with an important programming and math component, will allow the transfer students to meet the academic requirements for admission to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at USF. The research component will pave the way for them to participate in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs later on. These summer programs will be designed and implemented by USF and HCC professors, creating a new learning community that will extend to HCC classrooms on a permanent basis. USF?s REU programs for juniors and seniors will be utilized to help transfer students graduate and prepare them for graduate school and the work force. These research programs are also meant to create a learning community among these students, and the graduate students and professors at USF.
