Two cohorts of twenty five academically talented, financially needy students majoring in engineering are receiving scholarships averaging $3,000 annually. Following a one year planning period, both cohorts are initiated during the second year. One cohort consists of 25 sophomores and the second of 25 freshmen. The scholarships are being awarded for three or four years respectively. Thus, it is planned that a total of 50 students share 175 year-long scholarships over the five year project period. There are plans for replacing any scholars who do not maintain scholarship eligibility by qualified upper classmen.The project builds on a previous successful CSEMS project. Notable project features include the use of learning communities and peer tutoring - strategies known to increase retention. Other merits include the emphasis on advisement, the strong academics coupled with the many student support services, the integration of the evaluation with the ABET process and project-oriented, team building experiences.

两批 25 名学术才华横溢、经济困难的工程专业学生将获得平均每年 3,000 美元的奖学金。 经过一年的规划期后，这两个队列都在第二年启动。 其中一组由 25 名二年级学生组成，第二组由 25 名新生组成。 奖学金分别颁发三年或四年。 因此，计划在五年的项目期间共有 50 名学生分享 175 份为期一年的奖学金。 我们计划用合格的高年级学生来取代任何不具备奖学金资格的学者。该项目建立在之前成功的 CSEMS 项目的基础上。 值得注意的项目特点包括使用学习社区和同伴辅导——已知可以提高保留率的策略。 其他优点包括重视建议、强大的学术实力以及众多的学生支持服务、评估与 ABET 流程的整合以及以项目为导向的团队建设经验。
