Polytechnic Mission, Applied Science Vision

威斯康星大学斯托特分校应用科学项目由生物、物理和化学三个系组成，专注于生物技术、纳米技术、材料科学和环境科学，目前正经历着前所未有的增长。这个名为“理工使命，应用科学愿景”的项目的目标是利用这一增长，加强成功的应用科学社区和已经到位的基础设施，为学术能力强但经济条件差和代表性不足的STEM学生的招聘、保留和职业成功开创创新模式。在这个模式中，（10）向即将入学的STEM学生颁发10,000美元的可续期招聘奖学金，（20）向当前和未来的应用科学学生颁发5,000美元的不可续期留用奖学金，为期四年。该模式结合了STEM教育的整体方法，包括夏季桥梁项目、强化咨询、教师和同伴导师、参与包括在校内外学生在内的学习社区、本科研究经历以及展示研究经历的机会。

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.
