The overall goal of S-STEM Culture and Attitude (C&A) II project is to recruit, retain, and graduate engineering students at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. This goal will be met through a program designed to change the 'culture and attitude' of the campus so as to provide more pathways for a diverse group of students, in particular women students, to succeed in an engineering curriculum. The project will introduce new adaptations of curricular components designed to support intellectual diversity. The project will also build on existing co-curricular activities that support student success and self-efficacy by fostering technical skills, professional development, and personal development. A cohort of 25 students each year will be supported in the participating programs - Metallurgical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Civil Engineering. By fostering an environment of inclusion with emphasis on female students, the project will result in several outcomes that are expected to have significant institutional and societal impacts. More women students will enter engineering disciplines, thereby improving the intellectual diversity of the campus; women students will persist in engineering disciplines in greater numbers to fill the significant national need for women in engineering disciplines; students participating in the program will be engaged in service and outreach that will impact future students and young women in the community; the project will have a long-term positive effect within the university and the state by leveraging industrial collaborations to generate additional scholarships and make the program sustainable after the funding period ends; and results of the project will be disseminated to the campus community and a national audience to serve as a model for other programs.The primary objectives for the project are to: (1) leverage existing resources to recruit academically talented students that satisfy program criteria with financial need and a commitment to an engineering career; (2) strengthen existing programs to retain engineering students in a positive climate that promotes academic and professional success by providing a learning environment that supports diverse learning styles, alternative experiential opportunities, and support for psycho-social development; (3) place students in appropriate employment or further education through programs emphasizing career planning and professional diversity; and (4) change the curriculum to adapt to more diverse learning styles and engage the institution in the challenge to implement best practices in retaining women and minorities. The project will employ a robust evaluation plan that will measure student typology (Herrmann Brain Dominance Inventory) and evaluate attitudes towards intellectual diversity. In addition, the assessment will examine the effect of program elements on perception of performance capabilities, which is a key factor related to persistence.

S-STEM文化和态度（CA）II项目的总体目标是在南达科他州矿业与技术学院招募，保留和毕业工程专业的学生。这一目标将通过一个旨在改变校园“文化和态度”的方案来实现，以便为不同群体的学生，特别是女学生，提供更多的途径，使其在工程课程中取得成功。该项目将对课程内容进行新的调整，以支持智力多样性。 该项目还将建立在现有的课外活动，通过培养技术技能，专业发展和个人发展来支持学生的成功和自我效能。每年将有25名学生参加冶金工程、工业工程、机械工程、采矿工程和土木工程等项目。 该项目通过营造一种以女学生为重点的包容性环境，将产生若干预期会产生重大机构和社会影响的成果。 更多的女学生将进入工程学科，从而改善校园的知识多样性;更多的女学生将坚持学习工程学科，以满足全国对工程学科妇女的巨大需求;参加该方案的学生将从事服务和外联活动，这将对未来的学生和社区的年轻妇女产生影响;该项目将在大学和国家内产生长期的积极影响，通过利用工业合作产生额外的奖学金，并使该计划在资助期结束后可持续发展;该项目的成果将向校园社区和全国观众传播，为其他项目提供示范。该项目的主要目标是：（1）利用现有资源，招募学术人才，满足计划标准与经济需要和对工程事业的承诺;（2）加强现有的计划，以保持工程专业的学生在一个积极的氛围，促进学术和专业的成功，通过提供一个学习环境，支持多样化的学习风格，替代经验的机会，并支持心理社会发展;（3）通过强调职业规划和专业多样性的方案，使学生获得适当的就业或继续教育;（4）改变课程，以适应更多样化的学习方式，并使机构参与实施留住妇女和少数民族的最佳做法的挑战。 该项目将采用一个强大的评估计划，将衡量学生类型（赫尔曼大脑优势清单）和评估对智力多样性的态度。此外，评估还将检查项目要素对绩效能力感知的影响，这是与持久性相关的关键因素。
