The AugSTEM Program: Informing Institutional Collaboration and Change to Prepare Juniors and Seniors for Careers in STEM project at Augsburg College will extend the successes of the AugSTEM Scholars program, which developed a cross-disciplinary STEM cohort of upper-level students with targeted outreach to community college transfers. The current S-STEM project extends the lessons learned to institutional supports for all STEM students at Augsburg. This project will support low-income students with a cohort of 20 scholars and will provide 10 smaller scholarships to new transfer students or students who are building their academic eligibility for AugSTEM through other college access programs. Community college transfers and alumni of college access programs are groups with high potential for participating in STEM, but may not be optimally supported by institutional environments. This project will contribute to understanding better ways to connect these groups with high-impact practices such as undergraduate research and internships in ways that could be adapted to other institutions. Collaboration between 2-year institutions, a 4-year institution, and a work force preparedness program to support STEM retention, student success and preparedness for the STEM work force are features of the plan.Because community college transfers and college access program alumni are groups with high STEM potential who may not be optimally supported by institutional environments, the project has goals to explore institutionally transferrable ways to connect these groups with high-impact practices such as undergraduate research and internships. This project will develop qualitative and quantitative evidence grounded in the Common Guidelines for Education Research and Development to inform institutional support for STEM students, particularly those who have financial need, including transfer students or those who participated in a college access program.

奥格斯堡学院的 AugSTEM 计划：通知机构合作和变革，为大三和大四学生做好 STEM 职业准备项目将延续 AugSTEM 学者计划的成功，该计划培养了一个跨学科的高年级 STEM 学生群体，有针对性地推广到社区大学转学。 目前的 S-STEM 项目将所学到的经验教训扩展到为奥格斯堡所有 STEM 学生提供机构支持。 该项目将通过 20 名学者为低收入学生提供支持，并将为新转学生或通过其他大学入学计划建立 AugSTEM 学术资格的学生提供 10 份小额奖学金。 社区大学转学学生和大学入学项目的校友是参与 STEM 的高潜力群体，但可能无法得到机构环境的最佳支持。 该项目将有助于了解更好的方法，以适合其他机构的方式将这些群体与本科生研究和实习等高影响力实践联系起来。 该计划的特色是两年制院校、四年制院校和劳动力准备计划之间的合作，以支持 STEM 保留、学生成功和为 STEM 劳动力做好准备。由于社区大学转学和大学入学项目校友是具有较高 STEM 潜力的群体，他们可能无法得到机构环境的最佳支持，因此该项目的目标是探索机构可转移的方式，将这些群体与本科生研究和实习等高影响力实践联系起来。 该项目将开发基于《教育研究与发展通用指南》的定性和定量证据，为 STEM 学生提供机构支持，特别是那些有经济需要的学生，包括转学生或参加大学入学计划的学生。
