This project seeks to encourage and enable academically talented, but financially needy transfer students from diverse backgrounds to enter the workforce or continue in graduate studies following completion of a baccalaureate degree in electrical engineering. The specific objectives are to provide 20 students full ($10,000 per year) and/or partial ($5,000 per year) scholarships for up to three years, increase the diversity of our incoming engineering students, maintain high retention rates, institutionalize and disseminate successful components of the program, and increase the number of well educated and skilled engineers in the workforce. The intellectual merit of the program includes active mentorship and student support services. A focus on hands on learning through laboratory oriented classroom activities, a design emphasis throughout the curriculum, a required engineering internship, academic and industrial mentorship throughout students? studies, study hall, and other social and academic activities are included. Broader impacts of this project are primarily focused on broadening diversity with intentional ethnic recruiting from community college transfer students.

该项目旨在鼓励和使学术上有才华，但经济上有需要的转学生从不同的背景进入劳动力市场或继续在研究生学习完成学士学位后，在电气工程。 具体目标是为20名学生提供为期三年的全额（每年10，000美元）和/或部分（每年5，000美元）奖学金，增加我们即将入学的工程专业学生的多样性，保持高保留率，制度化和传播该计划的成功组成部分，并增加劳动力中受过良好教育和熟练工程师的数量。 该计划的智力价值包括积极的导师和学生支持服务。通过实验室为导向的课堂活动，在整个课程的设计重点，所需的工程实习，整个学生的学术和工业指导的重点是动手学习？包括学习，自修室和其他社会和学术活动。 这个项目的更广泛的影响主要集中在扩大多样性与故意从社区学院转学生种族招聘。
