ACCESS Engineering (Achieving Community College Excellence, Success, and Scholarship in Engineering)

蒙哥马利学院（Montgomery College）的ACCESS Engineering旨在增加在社区学院接受教育的工程学士学位学生的人数。该项目扩展了最佳实践和创新，包括高中的主题接触，密集的同伴和教师支持，以及强有力的衔接协议和选定的4年制工程项目的计划增强，预计在资助期间将为两个队列提供150个奖学金和支持。从高中和大学水平的数学和科学班招收的学生，是根据非传统人群的学术成功的认知和非认知相关的学术潜力来选择的。一个由学术界、工业界和高年级学生组成的顾问委员会正在支持一个由行政人员、教职员工和学生服务人员组成的项目管理团队。

ACCESS Engineering at Montgomery College seeks to increase the number of underrepresented students earning bachelors degrees in engineering who start their education at a community college. Expanding on best practices and innovations involving subject-matter exposure in high school, intensive peer and faculty support, and strong articulation agreements and programmatic enhancements with select 4-year engineering programs, the project expects to provide 150 scholarships and support to two cohorts during the grant period. Recruited from high schools and college-level math and science classes, students are being selected on the basis of academic potential demonstrated by cognitive as well as non-cognitive correlates of academic success for non-traditional populations. An advisory board including academia, industry, and upper-level students is supporting a project management team of administrators, faculty members, and student services staff.
