Electrical Engineering Scholars at Suffolk University

该项目支持三组有学术才华的学生，他们在萨福克大学获得电气工程学士学位时表现出经济需求。学者招聘是与波士顿公立高中系统合作完成的，并得到了当地电力行业的额外支持。针对学者的队伍建设和发展活动以其他机构的最佳实践为基础，包括基于项目的第一年研讨会、丰富和职业发展会议、课程附属学习小组、教师和同伴指导以及实习机会。该项目的智力价值在于一个有凝聚力和重点的方法来招募学者，保留和职业过渡，这充分利用了高中和行业的大力参与以及萨福克大学电气工程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工业劳动力，以及为类似机构提供一个经过充分评估的模型。

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.
