This project is expanding the successful Digital Bridge Academy (DBA) curriculum to include intensive math and science content. The new curriculum is adding (1) a numeracy course and (2) a two-semester "science-intensive" course that includes additional mathematics and accelerated versions of high school biology, chemistry and physics courses. The goal is to prepare students to be successful in the standard college level math and science courses they need in order to qualify for technician careers supported by the ATE program. The DBA program, which has shown great success with high at-risk Latino, urban African American, and Southeast Asian Students, is expanding its curricular offerings with the goal of becoming a national model for the recruitment, accelerated preparation, and retention of under-prepared, minority, and other at-risk students into careers as technicians for the high tech industries. The project's intellectual merit lies in developing an understanding of how to best educate a growing population of under-prepared and under-represented students. Its broader impact lies in the potential to reach and educate a growing population of under-prepared students and thereby increase their participation in science, technology, and engineering fields.

该项目正在扩大成功的数字桥学院（DBA）课程，包括密集的数学和科学内容。新课程增加了（1）一门算术课程和（2）一门两学期的“科学密集型”课程，其中包括额外的数学和高中生物、化学和物理课程的速成版。我们的目标是让学生做好准备，在他们需要的标准大学水平的数学和科学课程取得成功，以便有资格获得ATE计划支持的技术人员职业。 DBA计划，这已经显示出巨大的成功与高风险的拉丁美洲人，城市非洲裔美国人和东南亚学生，正在扩大其课程设置，成为招聘，加速准备，并保留准备不足，少数民族和其他有风险的学生进入职业生涯作为技术人员为高科技产业的目标。 该项目的智力价值在于了解如何最好地教育越来越多的准备不足和代表性不足的学生。其更广泛的影响在于有可能接触和教育越来越多的准备不足的学生，从而增加他们在科学，技术和工程领域的参与。
