The CECS Student Success Scholarship Program: Leveraging Curricular Innovation in Engineering and Computer Science Education

该项目为赖特州立大学所有工程和计算机科学学科的学术才华和经济困难的学生提供奖学金，特别关注招募和保留代表性不足的学生。通过增加学术上有才华的工程和计算机科学毕业生的数量，该机构直接为代顿地区及其他地区的技术型经济做出贡献。该项目的技术方面的特点是，一年级和转校生组成学生队伍，参与赖特州立大学的全国工程数学教育模式和相关干预。专门为S-STEM学者的学生学习社区支持他们在EGR 101工程应用数学入门中取得成功。针对计算机科学专业学生的独立S-STEM学习社区支持他们在新设计的SCALE-UP课程中取得成功（基于从物理教育改革中改编的成功模式）。所有S-STEM学者从一年级到毕业都得到学生支持和丰富活动，包括每学期强制性的个性化学术建议，同伴指导和辅导计划，本科研究，实习和合作机会，本科教学和K-12外展机会，以及其他课外干预。

This project is providing scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students across all disciplines of engineering and computer science at Wright State University, with a particular focus on the recruitment and retention of underrepresented students. By increasing the number of academically talented engineering and computer science graduates, the institution is directly contributing to the technology-based economy in the Dayton region and beyond.The technical aspects of the project feature the formation of student cohorts from both first-year and transfer students participating in Wright State's National Model for Engineering Mathematics Education and related interventions. Student learning communities specifically for S-STEM scholars support their success in EGR 101 Introductory Mathematics for Engineering Applications. Separate S-STEM learning communities for computer science majors support their success in a newly redesigned SCALE-UP curriculum (based on a successful model adapted from physics education reform efforts). All S-STEM scholars receive student support and enrichment activities from first-year through graduation, including mandatory, individualized academic advising each term, peer mentoring and tutoring programs, undergraduate research, internship and co-op opportunities, undergraduate teaching and K-12 outreach opportunities, and other co-curricular interventions.
