Mathematics, Science and Computing S-STEM Project

这个S-STEM项目为数学、科学和计算领域有学术天赋和经济困难的学生提供奖学金。该项目建立在从以前的CSEMS项目中吸取的经验教训，以提供一个学习环境，生产高素质的学者谁将有助于21世纪的世纪工作场所。该项目积极招募来自地区高中，两年制学院和大学的学者。此外，该项目还为参与社区学院和大学之间的学者提供桥梁方案。该项目通过小册子、海报、网站以及与地区高中数学和科学教师的会议来宣传奖学金。被招募的学生人口有很高的经济需求，包括很大比例的代表性不足的群体。一个由目标学科的大学和社区学院教师组成的咨询委员会每学期挑选学者，并担任学者的顾问。该项目通过要求参加量身定制的学习社区和每年一小时的项目课程，在学者之间建立社区，学者为模拟公司工作，生产适销产品。实地考察和演讲为学者提供了与行业专业人士接触的机会。

This S-STEM project supports scholarships for academically talented and financially needy students in mathematics, sciences and computing. This project builds on lessons learned from a previous CSEMS project to provide a learning environment producing highly qualified scholars who will contribute to a 21st century workplace. This project aggressively recruits scholars from area high schools, two-year colleges, and universities. In addition, the project supports a bridge program for scholars between the participating community colleges and the university. The project advertises the scholarships through brochures, posters, a website, and meetings with math and science teachers in regional high schools. The recruited student population has high financial need and includes a large percentage of underrepresented groups. An Advisory Committee of university and community college faculty from targeted disciplines selects the scholars each semester and serves as advisors for the scholars. The project creates community among the scholars through required participation in a tailored learning community and in a yearly one-hour project course where the scholars work for a mock company to produce a marketable product. Fields trips and speakers provide the scholars with exposure to industry professionals.
