Electrical Engineering Scholars at Suffolk University

该项目正在支持三批学术上有才华的学生，他们在萨福克大学获得电气工程学士学位时表现出了经济需求。学者招聘是与波士顿公立高中系统合作进行的，并得到当地电力行业的额外支持。为学者建立的群体建设和发展活动建立在其他机构的最佳实践基础上，包括基于项目的第一年研讨会，丰富和职业发展会议，课程附属研究小组，教师和同行指导以及实习机会。该项目的智力价值在于对学者招聘，保留和职业过渡采取有凝聚力和有针对性的方法，该方法利用了高中和行业以及萨福克电气工程学生和教师的支持性社区的强烈参与。更广泛的影响包括扩大和多样化电力行业的劳动力，以及提供一个评估良好的模式，供类似机构考虑。

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.
