Through the NSF Innovation Corps for Learning Program (I-Corps L), this project will develop ways to increase the scale and impact of a tutoring, mentoring, and advising program to help community college students to complete Associate's degrees and successfully transfer to four-year institutions. Increasing the number and diversity of students entering, persisting and graduating with STEM degrees; and significantly aiding them with STEM internships and job placements is imperative to solving the critical national and state workforce deficit that encompasses 63 STEM occupations categorized by the U. S. Department of Labor. Improving STEM education pathways to engage and retain students in STEM programs requires creative interdisciplinary real world experiential learning strategies that integrate technology in delivering and reiterating content to 21st century learners. Community colleges represent a special opportunity for increasing STEM majors. Two-year institutions are 'the entry point into higher education for most first-generation college students, particularly those from low-income, minority, and immigrant backgrounds'. Studies have shown that only 25 percent of these students complete a two-year degree and transfer to a four-year institution and only 17 percent complete a bachelor's degree. In 2000, the Baccalaureate and Beyond Community College Mentoring Program (BBCCMP) was founded to assist underrepresented minority, low income, and first generation community college students from six State University of New York (SUNY) community colleges with the transition from the two-year to four-year institutions and transitions either into the workforce or to graduate or professional school. The program involves tutoring, mentoring, and advising at the two and four-year institutions as well as a summer research program. In the almost fifteen years of the program, over 300 students have been involved. Over 80 percent of these students completed their Associate's degree and transferred to four-year institutions. Over 70 percent of these students are completing their bachelor's degree and 33 percent are going on for post-graduate work. This I-Corps for Learning project will develop ways to extend the impact of this program to other institutions throughout the country.The BBCCMP Program at Purchase College provides an extensive array of student supports. These begin when the student is recruited from the community college. Faculty coordinators at the community college identify and advise students who wish to enter the program. In addition, the program provides peer tutors and mentors at the community college. Students participate in a summer research program that not only provides research opportunities, but also has workshops on skills building, transferring, and career and post-baccalaureate opportunities. Students also participate in cohort and career building. In 2010 the SUNY Replication Project created a New York-based ecosystem in STEM based on the success of the Baccalaureate and Beyond Program within SUNY. Subsequently, six regional hubs comprising a mixture of two-year and four-year institutions were formed, and representatives met again at a second conference in 2012, to scale-up working with community colleges on student transitions. Through the NSF I-Corps initiative, this project will investigate sustainable methods to expand the success of BBCCMP to a larger number of institutions.

通过NSF创新团队学习计划（I-Corps L），该项目将开发各种方法来增加辅导，指导和咨询计划的规模和影响，以帮助社区大学学生完成副学士学位并成功转入四年制院校。增加学生进入，坚持和毕业的STEM学位的数量和多样性;并显着帮助他们与STEM实习和就业安置是解决关键的国家和州劳动力赤字，包括美国分类的63个STEM职业。S.劳工部。改善STEM教育途径，吸引和留住学生参加STEM项目，需要创造性的跨学科真实的世界体验式学习策略，将技术整合到21世纪世纪的学习者中。 社区学院是增加STEM专业的特殊机会。两年制大学是“大多数第一代大学生进入高等教育的切入点，特别是那些来自低收入，少数民族和移民背景的学生”。研究表明，这些学生中只有25%完成了两年制学位并转入四年制院校，只有17%完成了学士学位。2000年，Baccalaureate and Beyond Community College Mentoring Program（BBCCMP）成立，旨在帮助来自纽约（SUNY）社区学院的六所州立大学的代表性不足的少数民族，低收入和第一代社区学院学生从两年制过渡到四年制机构，并过渡到劳动力或研究生或专业学校。该计划涉及辅导，指导，并在两年制和四年制的机构以及暑期研究计划提供咨询。在近15年的计划，超过300名学生参与。这些学生中有80%以上完成了副学士学位，并转入四年制院校。这些学生中有70%以上正在完成学士学位，33%正在进行研究生工作。这个I-Corps for Learning项目将开发将该计划的影响扩展到全国其他机构的方法。购买学院的BBCCMP计划提供了广泛的学生支持。这些开始时，学生是从社区大学招募。社区学院的教师协调员确定并建议希望进入该计划的学生。此外，该方案还在社区学院提供同侪导师和导师。学生参加暑期研究计划，不仅提供研究机会，而且还举办技能建设，转移，职业和学士后机会的研讨会。学生还参与队列和职业建设。2010年，SUNY复制项目基于SUNY的学士及以上项目的成功，在STEM领域创建了一个基于纽约的生态系统。随后，成立了由两年制和四年制机构组成的六个区域中心，代表们在2012年的第二次会议上再次会面，以扩大与社区学院在学生过渡方面的合作。通过NSF I-Corps倡议，该项目将研究可持续的方法，将BBCCMP的成功扩大到更多的机构。
