Polytechnic Mission, Applied Science Vision

UW-Stout应用科学计划由三个部门组成，生物，物理和化学，集中在生物技术，纳米技术，材料科学和环境科学，正在经历前所未有的增长。该项目的目标，理工学院使命，应用科学愿景，是利用这一增长，并加强成功的应用科学社区，基础设施已经到位，为学术能力，但经济上处于不利地位和代表性不足的STEM学生的招聘，保留和职业成功启动一个创新模式。在这种模式中，（10）$10，000可再生招生奖学金颁发给即将入学的STEM学生，（20）$5，000不可再生保留奖学金颁发给当前和未来的应用科学学生四年。该模式采用了STEM教育的整体方法，包括夏桥计划，密集的咨询，教师和同伴导师，参与学习社区，包括生活在校园内外的学生，本科研究经验，并有机会提出研究经验。

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.
