Rose Building Undergraduate Diversity (ROSE-BUD): Improving Enrollment and Retention of Women and Minorities in Electrical and Computer Engineering

该项目向有学术才能和经济困难的学生提供奖学金，并通过各种结构和方案支持学者。电气和计算机工程专业中代表性不足的少数民族的妇女和学生特别成为支持的对象。电气和计算机工程是所有工程项目中最不多样化的，该项目将成为改善这些领域代表性不足的群体的学生的招聘和持续性的国家模式。学者们正在参加各种各样的专业发展活动，以及一对一的教师指导。该计划的特点包括结构良好的学术咨询、建立社交网络、学习技能和策略研讨会以及榜样研讨会。目前正在通过定性和定量措施对该项目的成果进行严格评估。

This project is awarding scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students and is supporting the scholars through a variety of structures and programs. Women and students from underrepresented minorities within the electrical and computer engineering programs are being especially targeted for support. Electrical and computer engineering are the least diverse of all of the engineering programs, and this project will serve as a national model for improving recruitment and persistence for students from underrepresented groups in these fields. The scholars are participating in a wide variety of professional development activities as well as one-on-one faculty mentoring. Features of the program include well-structured academic advising, establishment of social networks, study skills and strategies workshops, and role model seminars. The results from the project are being rigorously evaluated through both qualitative and quantitative measures.
