The goal of the Career Launch in Engineering Scholarship Program (Career Launch) will be to significantly reduce the number of hours the S-STEM Career Launch scholars need to work outside of school as a means to help retain them to graduation and reduce time to degree completion. Career Launch will also create a systematic peer-mentoring program through the three cohorts of Career Launch scholars. This project will address the need for highly qualified STEM professionals in industry, especially in the Pacific and Inland Northwest. Idaho is largely a rural state; however, a variety of high tech companies have large facilities within the state or surrounding areas, and they have an ongoing need for highly trained STEM professionals. This project will develop new recruiting pathways, retention, and support mechanisms for students, and placement efforts for graduates that will enable the University of Idaho to make a significant difference in terms of the quality and quantity of STEM professionals available to these industries.The focus of the project will be on decreasing or eliminating the time that Career Launch students must spend at external jobs during the school year as well as increasing student support through peer and faculty mentoring and enrichment activities. Career Launch has three measurable objectives: (1) reduce the number of hours worked outside of school by a significant amount; (2) build a systematic mentoring program that will create a sense of community for the students; and (3) retain to degree completion a minimum of 22 Career Launch Scholars. The program objectives will be achieved through (1) identification of high-quality students, (2) cohort development, (3) peer-mentoring program implementation, (4) engineering academic achievement, and (5) outcome-oriented evaluation. Specific components include peer-mentoring and cohort-building activities such as social, research, and orientation activities. Scholars will become peer-mentors in their second year and form a college-wide peer-mentoring program.This project aligns with several of the goals of the NSF Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) hence it is receiving partial co-funding from that program.

工程奖学金计划（职业启动）职业生涯启动的目标是显着减少S-STEM职业生涯成立学者在学校外工作所需的小时数，以帮助他们保留他们以毕业并减少学位完成时间。职业推出还将通过三个职业成立学者组成系统的同行导师计划。 该项目将满足对行业高素质的STEM专业人员的需求，尤其是在太平洋和西北部的内陆。爱达荷州在很大程度上是农村国家。但是，各种高科技公司在州或周边地区都有大型设施，他们对训练有素的STEM专业人员有持续的需求。该项目将开发新的招聘途径，保留和支持机制的机制，并为毕业生的安置工作，使爱达荷大学能够在这些行业可用的STEM专业人士的质量和数量上产生重大影响。项目的重点将在及时及时培养学生的职业上以及在全年的工作中及其努力以及在全年的工作中的工作以及及时的努力以及及时的努力以及努力的努力以及努力的努力以及努力。 职业发射有三个可衡量的目标：（1）将在学校外工作的小时数减少了很多； （2）建立系统的指导计划，该计划将为学生创造一种社区感； （3）至少要完成至少22个职业学者。 该计划的目标将通过（1）识别高质量学生，（2）队列发展，（3）同伴入学计划实施，（4）工程学术成就以及（5）面向结果的评估。特定的组成部分包括同行吸引和队列建设活动，例如社会，研究和方向活动。学者将在第二年成为同伴，并组成一个范围内的同行课程。该项目与NSF实验计划的几个目标相吻合，以刺激竞争性研究（EPSCOR），因此它正在从该计划中获得部分共同资金。
