Electrical Engineering Scholars at Suffolk University

该项目正在支持三批有学术天赋、有经济需求的学生在萨福克大学获得电气工程学士学位。与波士顿公立高中系统合作，在当地电力行业的额外支持下，正在进行学者招聘。针对学者的队列建设和发展活动借鉴了其他机构的最佳做法，包括以项目为基础的第一年研讨会、充实和职业发展会议、附属于课程的学习小组、教员和同行指导以及实习机会。该项目的学术价值在于，在学者招聘、留住和职业过渡方面采取了一种凝聚力强、重点突出的方法，充分利用了高中和产业界的大力参与，以及萨福克电气工程专业学生和教师的支持社区。更广泛的影响包括扩大和多样化电力行业的劳动力，以及提供一个经过充分评估的模式，供类似机构参考。

This project is supporting three cohorts of academically talented students with demonstrated financial need in attaining baccalaureate degrees in electrical engineering at Suffolk University. Scholar recruitment is being done in partnership with the Boston Public High School system, with additional support from local power industries. Cohort-building and developmental activities for scholars build on best practices from other institutions and include a project-based first-year seminar, enrichment and career-development sessions, course-affiliated study groups, faculty and peer mentoring, and internship opportunities. The intellectual merit of the project lies in a cohesive and focused approach to scholar recruitment, retention and career transitions which leverages strong participation by high schools and industry and the supportive community of electrical-engineering students and faculty at Suffolk. The broader impacts include expanding and diversifying the power-industry workforce, as well as providing a well-assessed model for consideration by similar institutions.
