HumanConnect: Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math

俄亥俄州州立大学的这一学者计划为有才华的学生提供了在社区生活和学习的机会，因为他们参加了以职业为主题的活动，并利用精心设计的支持结构。学者们有专门的咨询，一起参加第一年的课程作为一个队列，并有一系列主题相关的活动，有助于他们作为学生的成功和就业。这些学者之所以被选中，是因为他们希望利用工程人才来改善边缘化人群和服务不足的社区。利用工程对人类产生直接的积极影响通常被称为“人道主义工程”，这个人道主义工程项目正在招收144名学者。该计划有两个主要目标：1）积极影响有经济需要的工程专业学生的保留和毕业率，2）相对于对照组提高学习成绩。该计划是可持续的，因为它不会创建新的计划，课程或学位要求;其财政支持将促进学位完成和职业安置的一群学生谁有经济需要，是学术人才。该项目有三个次要目标：3）在校园内更广泛地融入人道主义工程理念，4）增加多样性，5）培养能够全球化思考的全面工程师和问题解决者。

This scholars program at the Ohio State University offers talented students the opportunity to live and study in a community as they participate in career-themed activities and take advantage of carefully-architected support structures. Scholars have specialized advising, attend first year classes together as a cohort and have a host of thematically related activities available that contribute to their success as students and in securing employment. These scholars are selected because of their desire to utilize engineering talent for the betterment of marginalized peoples and underserved communities. Using engineering to obtain direct positive effects on humanity is often called "humanitarian engineering" and this humanitarian engineering program is enrolling 144 scholars. The program has two primary goals: 1) Positively impact retention and graduation rate of engineering students with financial need and 2) Improve academic performance relative to a control group. The program is sustainable in that it will not create new programs, curricula or degree requirements; its financial support will facilitate degree completion and career placement for a group of students who have financial need and are academically talented. The project has three secondary goals 3) Incorporate humanitarian engineering ideas more broadly across campus, 4) Increase diversity, and 5) Develop well-rounded engineers and problem-solvers who are able to think globally.
