Scholarship Program for Master's Degree Seeking Students in Engineering

宾厄姆顿大学将创建一个奖学金计划，鼓励有能力，国内和经济困难的学生成功完成硕士（MS）学位的电气，计算机或机械工程。 MS学生还将通过课程工作，研讨会和行业实习来培养领导技能，创业能力和团队合作。 该计划允许宾厄姆顿大学提供奖学金，以直接解决目前在高科技行业的需要，为美国公民在工程高级学位。 奖学金将提供给那些在学术上很强的工程专业的学生，他们可能无法负担高等工程学位的学习，这些学生将为国家、地区和当地的高科技产业提供未来所需的技术领导力。宾厄姆顿大学的电气和计算机工程系和机械工程系将招收三批学生，每批9名学生。该计划将严格遵循美国国家工程院（NAE）2020年工程师教育报告中的建议。具体而言，该计划将致力于培养MS学位作为专业工程学位。 正如NAE在工程师2020中所倡导的那样，先进技术专业知识的发展将与领导技能，创业思维和团队合作相结合。 这些教育目标将通过学生共同参加的课程和研讨会来实现。 将强调高科技行业的实习机会。S-STEM学者将与同学，教师和行业合作伙伴参加每月的研讨会。研讨会将被用作一种工具，以指导学生在他们的学术和专业发展。 该计划与宾厄姆顿大学的一项全机构倡议保持一致，强调将硕士学位与实习相结合。 S-STEM学者将受益于宾厄姆顿大学电气与计算机工程系和机械工程系积极开展跨学科合作并与工业界接触的历史。 通过评估和评估开发的计划经验将增加有关工程领域需求和择优奖学金计划的最佳实践的知识体系。

Binghamton University will create a scholarship program that will encourage capable, domestic, and financially challenged students to successfully complete a master's (MS) degree in electrical, computer, or mechanical engineering. MS students will also develop leadership skills, entrepreneurial ability, and teamwork through course work, seminars, and internships in industry. The program allows Binghamton University to offer scholarships to directly address a current need in high-technology industries for American citizens with advanced degrees in engineering. Scholarships for academically strong engineering students, who may not otherwise be able to afford study for advanced engineering degrees, will provide the future technological leadership needed by national, regional, and local high-technology industries.The Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Binghamton University will recruit three cohorts of nine students each. The program of study for the recipients will closely follow the recommendations in the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) reports for educating the engineer of 2020. Specifically, the program will be dedicated to fostering the MS degree as a professional engineering degree. As advocated by the NAE in Engineer 2020, the development of advanced technical expertise will be combined with leadership skills, entrepreneurial thinking, and teamwork. These educational goals will be achieved through courses and seminars taken in common by the students. Internships opportunities with high-technology industries will be emphasized. The S-STEM scholars will participate in monthly seminars with fellow students, faculty members, and industry partners. The seminars will be used as a vehicle to guide students in their academic and professional development. The program aligns with an institution-wide initiative at Binghamton University highlighting combining master's degrees with internships. The S-STEM scholars will benefit from Binghamton University's departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering history of active interdisciplinary collaboration and engagement with industry. The experience of the program as developed through evaluation and assessment will add to the body of knowledge about best practices for need and merit-based scholarship programs in engineering.
