This project at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) is creating a central Indiana pipeline to increase the number of students from the greater Indianapolis region (central Indiana) obtaining STEM degrees. Several activities involve Ivy Tech Community College Central Indiana and Butler University. The goals of this project are to increase the numbers of students of all demographic groups who pursue STEM academic and career pathways; participate in STEM research, industry internships, and honors activities; graduate with an undergraduate degree in STEM fields; and transition into industry, graduate and professional programs. The program has set a target of increasing the number of STEM graduates at IUPUI by 10% per year to produce an estimated 279 additional STEM graduates in the year 2015.Intellectual Merit: The project employs and assesses the impact of several program-wide intervention strategies on student success. These intervention strategies include Summer STEM Bridge Academies, peer-mentoring and academic advising support for transfer students, Peer-led Teaching and Learning and Just-in-Time Teaching, Honor seminars, and Career Development services and internships. Numerous support services already are in place to assist with this initiative, making it possible for the project to integrate research and education on effective strategies for student learning in STEM disciplines. Additionally, the evaluation plan includes mechanisms for measuring the impacts of the individual initiatives and the effectiveness of the program as a whole.Broader Impact: This project takes a coordinated and systemic approach to increasing undergraduate success in STEM at all levels, from pre-college, to the important first year experience, to the sophomore year and onto graduation, through leadership and career development. Dissemination of the project's results will occur through the web, peer-reviewed publications, and presentations to the local and national STEM community. A national conference will be hosted at IUPUI during the fourth year of the project, which will bring national leaders on STEM education, to share their knowledge of research and best practices, and for this project to showcase the work being done at IUPUI and other institutions on increasing the number of students completing STEM degrees.

这个项目在印第安纳州普渡大学印第安纳波利斯（IUPUI）正在创建一个中央印第安纳州管道，以增加学生的数量从大印第安纳波利斯地区（中央印第安纳州）获得STEM学位。几项活动涉及常春藤科技社区学院中央印第安纳州和巴特勒大学。该项目的目标是增加追求STEM学术和职业途径的所有人口统计群体的学生人数;参加STEM研究，行业实习和荣誉活动;毕业于STEM领域的本科学位;并过渡到行业，研究生和专业课程。该计划已经设定了一个目标，即每年增加IUPUI的STEM毕业生人数10%，以在2015年产生估计279名额外的STEM毕业生。这些干预策略包括夏季STEM桥梁学院，为转学生提供同行指导和学术咨询支持，同行领导的教学和学习以及及时教学，荣誉研讨会以及职业发展服务和实习。许多支持服务已经到位，以协助这一举措，使项目能够整合研究和教育的有效战略，为学生学习STEM学科。更广泛的影响：该项目采取协调和系统的方法，通过领导力和职业发展，从大学预科到重要的第一年经验，到大二和毕业，提高本科生在各个层面的STEM成功率。该项目的成果将通过网络、同行评审的出版物以及向地方和国家STEM社区的介绍进行传播。在该项目的第四年，将在IUPUI举办一次全国会议，这将使STEM教育的国家领导人分享他们的研究知识和最佳实践，并为该项目展示IUPUI和其他机构正在做的工作，以增加完成STEM学位的学生人数。
