A Community of Transfer Scholars in Information Technology and Engineering (T-SITE)

巴尔的摩县马里兰大学的信息技术和工程专业转学学者社区项目正在为30名经济困难、学业上有天赋的转学学生提供奖学金。该项目正在应用技术领域妇女中心开发的学生支持程序，为转学学生建立学习者社区。该项目为学者提供学术和职业发展信息和机会，并促进马里兰大学、巴尔的摩县大学和几个合作伙伴社区学院之间的伙伴关系。该项目正在挑选和支持三批学生。计算机科学、计算机工程、信息系统、机械工程或化学工程专业。支持结构包括新学者的休养生息，以及来自教师、同行和行业领袖的指导。为这些学者提供学术和专业发展活动以及转学研讨会，以帮助他们按时毕业。该项目正在收集关于转学经历的信息，特别是妇女和代表性不足的少数群体的经历，以便将所学到的经验用于提高所有转学学生，而不仅仅是学者的成功。

The Community of Transfer Scholars in Information Technology and Engineering project at the University of Maryland Baltimore County is providing scholarships for 30 financially needy academically talented transfer students. The project is applying student support processes developed at the center for women in technology to build communities of learners for the transfer students. The project is providing academic and professional development information and opportunities for the scholars and is also fostering partnerships between the University of Maryland Baltimore County and several partner community colleges. Three cohorts of students are being selected and supported by the project. Students major in computer science, computer engineering, information systems, mechanical engineering or chemical engineering. Support structures include a new scholar's retreat as well as mentoring from faculty, peers and industry leaders. Academic and professional development activities along with transfer student seminars are provided to the scholars to help them graduate on time. The project is collecting information about the transfer student experience particularly of women and underrepresented minorities so that lessons learned can be used to increase the success of all transfer students, not only the scholars.
