BP: CSE Early Research Scholars Program

加州圣地亚哥大学（UCSD）将实施一项结构化的大学早期研究计划，以提高计算机科学与工程（CSE）的保留率。 在CSE的第一年和第二年，学生将参加以团队为基础的研究项目。 该计划的目标包括增加保留，特别是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族，在CSE主要，一个可出口的模型，让第一和第二年的学生在研究社区在一所大型大学，并在第一和第二年的计算机科学课程的性能提高。 这些目标将通过形成性评估，计划指导和具体教育目标的定向评估以及与全国类似计划的比较进行评估。该项目将改变UCSD的环境，吸引早期本科生进入CSE部门现有的研究文化，不仅影响每年40名学生的计划，而且影响那些不直接参与该计划的学生。 更广泛地说，该项目将提供一个可以在大型研究型机构复制的模型，以吸引和留住早期本科生从事计算机科学研究。

The University of California San Diego (UCSD) will implement a structured early-college research program to increase retention in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). During their first and second years in CSE, students will participate in team-based research projects. Goals of the program include increased retention, particularly of women and underrepresented minorities, in the CSE major, an exportable model for engaging first and second year students in the research community at a large university, and increased performance in first and second year computer science courses. These goals will be evaluated through formative assessments, program guidance, and directed assessment of specific educational goals as well as a comparison to similar programs nationwide. This project will change the environment at UCSD to draw early undergraduates into the existing research culture of the CSE department, impacting not only the 40 students per year in the program but also those not directly engaged in the program. More broadly, this project will provide a model that can be replicated at large research-focused institutions for engaging and retaining early undergraduates in computer science research.
