This proposal is to prepare 20 students in engineering disciplines admitted to Auburn University, by engaging them into variety of activities needed to successfuly complete a program of study in engineering at Auburn University. This is the second summer bridge program, as the PI has conducted the first bridge program in summer of 2010. This bridge program is to provide mentoring activities, and to enhance the engineering curricula. Academic preparation is a major focus for this summer bridge program. The program provides credit hours of english and pre-calculus courses. Time management, counselor interaction's leadership and communication skills' seminars, are also provided during this 5 weeks bridge program. At least 50% of the students are females.The students will have an opportunity to learn about college life, how to balance their academic curricula, time management, and communication skills. The students will bond together, and help each other succeed. This bridge summer program will provide them with the gate keeper courses that they need to start a successful engineering freshman year. This program will help increasing the students' retention from the underrepresented groups that are enrolled in engineering programs.

这项提议是通过让20名被奥本大学录取的工程学专业的学生参加成功完成奥本大学工程学学习计划所需的各种活动来做好准备。这是第二次夏季桥梁项目，因为国际桥梁协会已经在2010年夏天进行了第一次桥梁项目。这一桥梁计划是为了提供指导活动，并加强工程课程。学术准备是这个暑期桥牌项目的主要焦点。该计划提供英语和微积分预科课程的学分。在这个为期5周的桥牌项目中，还提供了时间管理、辅导员互动的领导力和沟通技能研讨会。至少50%的学生是女性。学生们将有机会了解大学生活，如何平衡他们的学术课程，时间管理和沟通技能。学生们将团结在一起，相互帮助取得成功。这个桥梁暑期项目将为他们提供他们需要的守门人课程，以开始一个成功的工程一年级。这一计划将有助于增加学生对招收工程专业的代表不足群体的留存率。
