Undergraduate Sustainable Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (U-S2TEM) Scholars

环境本科培训（UTE）学者计划的智力价值源于其对全球变化的影响以及自然和人类建筑系统的动态和可持续性的关注。犹他大学学者项目支持来自理学院、矿业与地球科学学院和工程学院的14名学生，他们作为一个多学科队列，探索各种科学和工程领域如何相互作用。该奖学金项目是犹他大学全球变化与可持续发展中心（GCSC）和科学与数学教育中心（CSME）的合作项目。这种合作关系为学术上有才华和经济困难的本科生提供了独特的教育和研究机会。该项目还提供学术支持、指导、专业发展，并在整个本科培训过程中为他们提供支持。ut学者项目的广泛影响来自于与各种组织在招聘和推广方面的合作关系。这些伙伴关系使学者们参与到少数族裔占多数的学区以及农村地区。ut学者系列研讨会为参与者提供了一个学习将研究活动与教育相结合的论坛，以便将他们的科学置于更广泛的社会背景中。该奖学金项目旨在建立一个由学生、教师和专业人士组成的跨学科学习社区，在ut学者完成学术培训的过程中协同参与和支持他们。此外，该项目为未来犹他大学内外的类似项目提供了一个模型。

The intellectual merit of the Undergraduate Training in the Environment (UTE) Scholars program derives from its focus on the impacts of global changes and the dynamics and sustainability of natural and human built systems. The UTE Scholars program supports 14 students in the Colleges of Science, Mines and Earth Science, and Engineering who work as a multidisciplinary cohort to explore how various scientific and engineering fields interact. This scholarship program is a partnership of the University of Utah's Global Change and Sustainability Center (GCSC) and the Center for Science and Math Education (CSME). This partnership provides academically talented and financially challenged undergraduate students with unique educational and research opportunities. The program also provides academic scaffolding, mentoring, professional development, and supports them throughout their undergraduate training.The broader impacts of the UTE Scholars program derive from partnerships with various and diverse organizations both in recruiting and outreach. These partnerships engage scholars in outreach to the minority-majority school districts as well as rural areas. The UTE Scholars seminar series provides a forum for participants to learn to integrate research activities with education in order to place their science in a broader societal context. This scholarship project is developing an interdisciplinary learning community of students, faculty, and professionals that synergistically engages and supports the UTE Scholars as they move through their academic training. Further, this program provides a model for similar programs in the future both within and outside of the University of Utah.
