This EES Program builds upon the successful NSF-funded Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship (CSEMS) Program. This scholars program provides financial and academic support to first-year engineering students and new transfer students from two year community colleges who are academically qualified and have unmet financial need, with special consideration given to women, racial/ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities. The fundamental objectives of EES are to increase: (1) the number of talented students with financial need earning undergraduate engineering degrees; (2) the number of underrepresented students earning undergraduate engineering degrees; and (3) the retention and graduation rates of students earning undergraduate engineering degrees. EES Fellows will have access to a specific set of support programs, called the EES Community, designed to support and enhance their academic success. EES Fellows will participate in academic advising and EES seminars focusing on professional and academic development and career planning.

该EES计划建立在成功的NSF资助的计算机科学，工程和数学奖学金（CSEMS）计划的基础上。该奖学金计划为一年级工程专业学生和两年制社区学院新转学的学生提供经济和学术支持，这些学生具有学术资格，但经济需求未得到满足，并特别考虑到妇女、种族/少数民族和残疾人。就业和就业服务的基本目标是：（1）增加有经济需要的有才华的学生获得本科工程学位的人数;（2）增加代表性不足的学生获得本科工程学位的人数;（3）增加获得本科工程学位的学生的保留率和毕业率。EES研究员将有机会获得一套特定的支持计划，称为EES社区，旨在支持和提高他们的学术成就。EES研究员将参加学术咨询和EES研讨会，重点是专业和学术发展和职业规划。
