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

该项目为莱特州立大学工程和计算机科学所有学科的有学术天赋和经济困难的学生提供奖学金，特别关注招收和留住代表性不足的学生。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，该机构正在直接为代顿地区和其他地区的以技术为基础的经济做出贡献。该项目的技术方面的特点是形成参加莱特州立大学全国工程数学教育模式和相关干预措施的一年级学生和转校生。专门针对S-STEM学者的学生学习社区支持他们在EGR101工程应用数学入门课程中的成功。独立的S-STEM计算机专业学习社区支持他们在新的重新设计的扩大课程中的成功(基于从物理教育改革努力中改编的成功模式)。所有S-STEM学者从一年级到毕业都会得到学生支持和充实活动，包括每学期强制性的个性化学术建议、同行辅导和辅导计划、本科研究、实习和合作机会、本科教学和K-12外展机会，以及其他合作课程干预。

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.
