This project is awarding scholarships to academically talented but financially-disadvantaged students in computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering. The scholarships are supporting three cohorts of nine students through completion of the final three years of an integrated five-year baccalaureate and master's degree program. Community college transfer students, as well as engineering students who have completed their first two years of study at the host institution, are eligible for scholarship support. The program is recruiting students who would otherwise complete only an undergraduate degree to instead stay and complete a master's degree. Student cohorts are being formed by having participating students enroll in common junior and senior projects courses. Students are being supported by a seminar course specifically designed for scholarship recipients and by individualized mentoring from faculty members. Students are also being encouraged to take advantage of paid internship opportunities with a variety of local companies. The goals of the program include increasing the number of students from under-represented groups who complete a master's degree, increasing the number of graduating students who are successfully placed with local industries, and improving the professional development aspects of the participating engineering programs.

该项目向在计算机、电气和机械工程方面有学术天赋但经济困难的学生提供奖学金。 奖学金支持三个队列的九名学生通过完成最后三年的综合五年制学士学位和硕士学位课程。 社区学院转学生以及在东道机构完成前两年学习的工程专业学生有资格获得奖学金支持。 该项目正在招募那些原本只会完成本科学位的学生，而不是留下来完成硕士学位。 正在通过让参与的学生参加共同的初级和高级项目课程来形成学生群体。 学生们得到了专门为奖学金获得者设计的研讨会课程和教师的个性化指导的支持。 还鼓励学生利用各种当地公司的带薪实习机会。 该计划的目标包括增加来自代表性不足的群体的学生完成硕士学位的人数，增加成功安置在当地产业的毕业生人数，以及提高参与工程项目的专业发展方面。
