Recognizing that engineering and computer science are making concerted efforts to increase the diversity of students in their academic programs and in the workforce, this multi-institutional research team proposes a two-pronged approach: (1) To provide scholarships to a diverse population of low-income academically talented students with financial need; and (2) to adapt, implement, and test a student experience model designed to increase the success of students in those fields. The primary disciplinary foci are Electrical, Computer, and Software Engineering (ECSE) with the inclusion of cyber-security at Iowa State University (ISU); Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) and Kirkwood Community College (KCC). The project plans to award scholarships to 272 students (100 unique scholars at Iowa State University; 90 unique scholars at Des Moines Area Community College; and 82 unique scholars at Kirkwood Community College. The student experience model includes a set of well-established evidence-based practices that form an ecosystem of academic and co-curricular supports for students and is designed to foster retention, transfer, and graduation in STEM. The research team will conduct two research studies of this ecosystem of supports. The qualitative phenomenological study is designed to investigate and understand the development and maintenance of professional/career identity. The quantitative comparison study is designed to investigate the influence of individual motivation and the characteristics of the academic and social environments of ECSE on student success, retention, transfer, and degree attainment.

认识到工程和计算机科学正在共同努力，以增加学生在其学术课程和劳动力的多样性，这个多机构的研究小组提出了一个双管齐下的方法：（1）提供奖学金，以低收入的多样化人口学术人才的学生与经济需要;以及（2）调整、实施和测试旨在提高学生在这些领域的成功的学生体验模型。主要学科重点是电气，计算机和软件工程（ECSE），其中包括爱荷华州州立大学（ISU）的网络安全;得梅因地区社区学院（DMACC）和柯克伍德社区学院（KCC）。该项目计划向272名学生颁发奖学金（爱荷华州州立大学100名独特学者;得梅因地区社区学院90名独特学者;柯克伍德社区学院82名独特学者）。学生体验模式包括一套完善的循证实践，形成了一个为学生提供学术和课外支持的生态系统，旨在促进STEM的保留，转移和毕业。研究小组将对这一支持生态系统进行两项研究。质的现象学研究旨在调查和理解专业/职业认同的发展和维持。 定量比较研究的目的是调查个人动机和ECSE的学术和社会环境的特点对学生的成功，保留，转移，和学位获得的影响。
