This National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) project at San Jose State University in San Jose, California will provide scholarships and support services to academically-talented students pursing graduate engineering degrees who demonstrate financial need. This project called the Silicon Valley Innovation and Entrepreneurship Scholarships (SVIES) Program will provide graduate students of the College of Engineering with opportunities to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship, equips them with methods facilitating innovation, and matches them with Silicon Valley innovators and entrepreneurs as mentors. Entrepreneurship and innovation are critical factors in a thriving economy. This project will develop entrepreneurial skills in engineering students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. The program will expand the career options of talented low-income engineering students who may have otherwise been unfamiliar with opportunities and methods of technological entrepreneurism and innovation. The goal of the San Jose State University (SJSU) Silicon Valley Innovation and Entrepreneurship Scholarships Program is to increase the nation's capacity to produce technological innovations that drive economic growth. The scholarship recipients will form a learning community and engage in joint study of successful Silicon Valley technological innovations and entrepreneurs and in team practice of the lessons learned. With direct mentoring from Silicon Valley innovators and entrepreneurs and seven SJSU College of Engineering faculty members, SVIES scholars will develop their innovation mindsets, acquire innovation and entrepreneurship skills, and have the opportunity to incorporate innovation and entrepreneurship into their career plans. The project will help talented engineering students from low-income backgrounds to become effective technological entrepreneurs. Evaluation and assessment will focus on measuring and documenting learning outcomes in high-level competencies associated with innovation and entrepreneurism. These outcomes include: the mindset of innovation and entrepreneurship, knowledge of the need-idea-venture process, and ability to innovate, create and refine a technological invention; develop a business plan and launch a new business venture. Lessons learned and best practices that emerge from the program evaluation data will be disseminated widely to the engineering education community.

这个国家科学基金会（NSF）科学，技术，工程和数学（S-STEM）奖学金项目在圣何塞州立大学在圣何塞，加州将提供奖学金和支持服务，以学术人才的学生追求研究生工程学位谁证明经济需要。这个名为硅谷创新和创业奖学金（SVIES）计划的项目将为工程学院的研究生提供学习创新和创业的机会，为他们提供促进创新的方法，并将他们与硅谷的创新者和企业家作为导师。创业精神和创新是经济繁荣的关键因素。该项目将培养来自经济困难背景的工程专业学生的创业技能。该计划将扩大有才华的低收入工程专业学生的职业选择，否则他们可能不熟悉技术创新和创新的机会和方法。圣何塞州立大学（SJSU）硅谷创新和创业奖学金计划的目标是提高国家生产技术创新的能力，推动经济增长。奖学金获得者将组成一个学习社区，共同研究硅谷成功的技术创新和企业家，并在团队实践中吸取经验教训。通过硅谷创新者和企业家以及七名SJSU工程学院教师的直接指导，SVIES学者将培养他们的创新思维，获得创新和创业技能，并有机会将创新和创业纳入他们的职业规划。该项目将帮助来自低收入背景的有才华的工程专业学生成为有效的技术企业家。评价和评估将侧重于衡量和记录与创新和创业有关的高水平能力方面的学习成果。这些成果包括：创新和创业精神的心态，需求-想法-风险过程的知识，以及创新，创造和改进技术发明的能力;制定商业计划并启动新的商业风险。从项目评估数据中获得的经验教训和最佳实践将广泛传播给工程教育界。
