Polytechnic Mission, Applied Science Vision

威斯康星大学斯坦特应用科学计划由生物、物理和化学三个系组成，集中在生物技术、纳米技术、材料科学和环境科学方面，正在经历前所未有的增长。这项名为“理工学院使命，应用科学愿景”的项目的目标是利用这一增长并加强成功的应用科学社区，以及现有的基础设施，以启动一种创新模式，招收、留住有学业成就但在经济上处于不利地位和代表性不足的STEM学生，并取得事业成功。在这种模式中，(10)10,000美元的可续期招生奖学金颁发给即将入学的STEM学生，(20)5,000美元的不可续期留存奖学金颁发给当前和未来的应用科学学生，为期四年。该模式结合了STEM教育的整体方法，包括暑期桥项目、密集的咨询、教师和同行导师、参与包括在校学生和校外学生在内的学习社区、本科生研究经验以及展示研究经验的机会。

The UW-Stout Applied Science Program, composed of three departments, biology, physics and chemistry with concentrations in biotechnology, nanotechnology, materials science and environmental science, is experiencing unprecedented growth. The goal of this project, Polytechnic Mission, Applied Science Vision, is to capitalize on this growth and enhance the successful Applied Science Community, infrastructure already in place to initiate an innovative model for the recruitment, retention and career success of academically able but financially disadvantaged and underrepresented STEM students. In this model (10) $10,000 renewable recruitment scholarships are awarded to incoming STEM students and (20) $5,000 nonrenewable retention scholarships are awarded to current and future applied science students over four years. The model incorporates a holistic approach to STEM education, including a summer bridge program, intensive advising, faculty and peer mentors, participation in a learning community that encompasses students living on campus and off, undergraduate research experiences, and opportunities to present on research experiences.
