Engaging the Community to Achieve Success in Engineering II

该项目旨在鼓励和帮助不同背景的有学术天赋但经济困难的转学学生进入劳动力大军或在完成电气工程学士学位后继续研究生学习。具体目标是为20名学生提供最长三年的全额(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，保持较高的保留率，将该计划的成功部分制度化和传播，并增加劳动力中受过良好教育和技能的工程师的数量。该项目的智力优势包括积极的导师和学生支持服务。通过以实验室为导向的课堂活动注重动手学习，在整个课程中强调设计，要求进行工程实习，并在学生中进行学术和工业指导？包括书房、自习室和其他社交和学术活动。该项目的更广泛影响主要集中在通过有意从社区大学转学学生中招募族裔来扩大多样性。

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.
