Project ASK: Applying Student Knowledge (ASK) for Success in Computer Science is an S-STEM project that increases the number of academically talented and financially needy students graduating with undergraduate degrees in Computer Science. A cohort of 20 students, composed of incumbent sophomores and transfer students, are identified and selected to be ASK Scholars. The acronym, "ASK", refers to the use of shared student insight into problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership. The ASK Scholars participate in weekly workshops, seminar series, and closely interact with the co-PIs, senior personnel and other faculty members who provide academic advising, general guidance, leadership, professional and research experience. The student leadership experience comes from participation in professional student organizations as well as local and regional programming contests. Coupled with research experience from participation in faculty research programs and/or professional experience gathered from participation in the existing cooperative education program, these experiences provide a basis for overall intellectual growth and promote increased student confidence for post-graduate employment or continued education. The use of teamwork, small class sizes, collaboration and student-motivated question and answer sessions positively supports recent research in the field of computer science regarding educational impact and effective retention strategies. The effects are professionally evaluated and disseminated to the public through academic venues. Additionally, ASK Scholars are prepared to enter the scientific workforce or graduate school as competent, highly trained individuals with a background in teamwork and research.

项目ASK：应用学生知识（ASK）在计算机科学中取得成功是一个S-STEM项目，增加了计算机科学本科学位毕业的学术人才和经济困难的学生数量。一个由20名学生组成的队列，由现任校友和转学生组成，被确定并选择为ASK学者。这个缩写，“问”，是指使用共享的学生洞察力解决问题，团队合作和领导。ASK学者参加每周的研讨会，研讨会系列，并与合作PI，高级人员和其他教师谁提供学术咨询，一般指导，领导，专业和研究经验密切互动。学生的领导经验来自于专业学生组织的参与，以及当地和区域的编程比赛。再加上参与教师研究计划和/或从现有的合作教育计划的参与收集的专业经验的研究经验，这些经验提供了整体智力增长的基础，并促进增加学生对研究生就业或继续教育的信心。团队合作，小班授课，协作和学生动机的问答环节的使用积极支持最近在计算机科学领域的教育影响和有效的保留策略的研究。效果经过专业评估，并通过学术场所向公众传播。此外，ASK学者准备进入科学劳动力或研究生院作为有能力的，训练有素的个人与团队合作和研究的背景。
