New Mexico Alliances for Broadening Participation in STEM - Senior Level Alliance

新墨西哥州少数民族参与联盟(新墨西哥州AMP)是代表该州公立两年制高等教育机构和州政府支持的四年制大学的伙伴关系。新墨西哥州AMP成立于1993年，根据美国国家科学基金会第人力资源发展基金--935215美元，并于1998年和2003年再次获得资金。新墨西哥州AMP与新墨西哥州的其他国家科学基金会(NSF)计划保持一致，这些计划包括残疾学生地区科学、工程和数学联盟(RASEM2)以及新墨西哥州研究生教育和教授联盟(AGEP)。新墨西哥州AMP还管理休利特基金会招聘和保留计划、NSF计算机科学、工程和数学奖学金(CSEMS)计划以及NSF STEM人才扩展计划(STEP)。这些计划和其他计划已经形成了一个全州范围的网络，该网络已经成为该州高等教育结构的一部分，允许管理和利用人力和金钱资源，并快速准确地传播信息和机会。总体而言，这些合作和新墨西哥州AMP管理的个人计划致力于发展一系列学生干预和对有效STEM教育问题的多条调查路线。通过这些努力，新墨西哥州AMP S的目标是提高完成学士学位的少数民族学生的数量和质量，这些学生目前在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科中的代表性不足。项目成果和目标自1993年新墨西哥州AMP启动以来，授予少数族裔的STEM学位数量增加了一倍多，从1992/93年的253个增加到过去五年平均每年510个。同样重要的是，获得STEM学士学位的少数民族学生的比例从1992/93年的23.7%上升到过去五年的42%。在该计划的整个过程中，迄今已有5759个少数民族STEM学位授予来自联盟合作机构的新墨西哥州学生。未来五年的目标是将授予代表性不足的少数民族的STEM学位数量增加75-100个学位。新墨西哥州AMP提出的活动和研究通过建立和传播新的和适当的模式来培养学生的成功，包括在STEM领域(低收入、少数民族和种族少数以及女性)中代表不足的学生，从而在STEM学科中促进知识和扩大理解。形成性评估活动提供了对学生和教师体验的独特视角，这将持续地为项目发展提供信息。这些过程和结果以及总结性评价数据通过出版物和演示文稿分享和传播给NMSU和新墨西哥州AMP社区以及更多的区域和全国受众。新墨西哥州AMP通过改进保留率和升级率，促进参与STEM学生的毕业和职业成功，包括那些历史上代表性不足的学生。该计划提供了促进学生个人研究经验的机制，从而支持和提高机构研究能力，并使STEM教育的有效变革制度化。与NMSU的批地使命相一致，新墨西哥州AMP将建立STEM成功和专业发展中心，支持对其职业机会和社会责任有广泛了解的STEM专业人员的发展和毕业，鼓励他们为经济发展和改善新墨西哥州公民的生活条件做出贡献。在区域和国家一级的传播有助于与更广泛的教育界的其他成员分享最佳做法和挑战，从而有助于增强他们的能力，以影响地方和国家的教育做法和政策。

The New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (New Mexico AMP) is a partnership representing the state's public two-year postsecondary institutions and the state-supported four-year universities. New Mexico AMP was established in 1993 under NSF Cooperative Agreement No. HRD-935215, and funded again in 1998 and in 2003. New Mexico AMP is aligned with other National Science Foundation (NSF) programs in New Mexico who share this common vision including the Regional Alliance for Science, Engineering and Mathematics (RASEM2) for Students with Disabilities and the New Mexico Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP). New Mexico AMP also manages the Hewlett Foundation Recruitment and Retention Program, the NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship (CSEMS) program, and the NSF STEM Talent Expansion Program (STEP). These and other programs have resulted in a statewide network that has become part of the fabric of higher education in the state, allowing for the managing and leveraging of human and monetary resources, and for quick and accurate dissemination of information and opportunities.Collectively, these collaborations and the individual programs managed by New Mexico AMP are concerned with developing an array of student interventions and multiple lines of inquiry into the issues of effective STEM education. Through these efforts, New Mexico AMP?s goal is to increase the quantityand quality of minority students who complete their B.S. degrees and who are currently underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. PROGRAM OUTCOMES AND GOALSSince New Mexico AMP began in 1993, the number of STEM degrees awarded to minorities has more than doubled, from 253 in 1992/93 to an average of 510 per year during the past five years. Just as significant is the increase in the percent of minority students receiving STEM B.S. degrees rising from23.7% in 1992/93 to 42% during the past five years. Over the life of the program, 5,759 minority STEM degrees have been awarded to date to New Mexico's students from the Alliance partner institutions. The goal for the next five years is to increase the number of STEM degrees awarded to underrepresented minorities by 75-100 degrees. This represents a 15-20% increase over the previous five-year period.The activities and research proposed by the New Mexico AMP advances knowledge and broaden understanding within the STEM disciplines by establishing and disseminating new and adapted models for nurturing student success, including students who are historically underrepresented in the STEM fields (low income, ethnic and racial minorities, and women). Formative assessment activities provides unique perspectives on student and faculty experiences, which will continuously inform project development. These processes and outcomes together with summative evaluation data are shared and disseminated to the NMSU and New Mexico AMP communities as well as to additional regional and national audiences through publications and presentations.The New Mexico AMP contributes to the graduation and professional success of participating STEM students, including those who are historically underrepresented, through improved retention and progression. The program provides mechanisms to further the individual research experiences ofstudents, thereby supporting and enhancing institutional research capability, and institutionalizing effective changes in STEM education. Aligned with the land-grant mission of NMSU, the New Mexico AMP will establish the STEM Success and Professional Development Center, supporting the development and graduation of STEM professionals who have a broad understanding of their professional opportunities and social responsibilities, encouraging them to contribute to economic development and improved living conditions for the citizens of New Mexico. Dissemination at the regional and national level allow for the sharing of best practices and challenges with other members of the broader educational community, thus contributing to their empowerment to impact local andnational educational practices and policy.
