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.

宾厄姆顿大学将设立一项奖学金计划，鼓励有能力、有经济困难的国内学生成功完成电气、计算机或机械工程硕士学位 (MS)。 理学硕士学生还将通过课程、研讨会和行业实习来培养领导技能、创业能力和团队合作能力。 该计划允许宾汉姆顿大学提供奖学金，直接满足拥有工程学高级学位的美国公民在高科技行业的当前需求。 为学术实力强的工程专业学生提供的奖学金将为他们提供国家、地区和地方高科技行业所需的未来技术领导力，这些学生可能无法承担高级工程学位的学习费用。宾汉姆顿大学电气与计算机工程系和机械工程系将招收三批学生，每批九名学生。获奖者的学习计划将严格遵循美国国家工程院 (NAE) 报告中关于 2020 年工程师教育的建议。具体来说，该计划将致力于将硕士学位培养为专业工程学位。 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一起参加每月一次的研讨会。这些研讨会将作为指导学生学术和专业发展的工具。 该计划与宾厄姆顿大学的一项全机构倡议相一致，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的跨学科合作以及与行业接触的历史。 通过评估和评估开发的项目经验将丰富有关工程领域需求和择优奖学金项目的最佳实践的知识体系。
