项目摘要

Whatcom Community College's project, "STEM Excellence through Engagement in Collaboration, Research, and Scholarship (SEECRS)," will provide scholarships for 36 low-income, academically talented scholarship awardees pursuing associate degrees in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology, and physics. The project's leaders will deploy strategies that promote success in STEM, help students complete associate degrees, and promote transfer and completion at four-year institutions. Project activities will include STEM degree planning, faculty mentoring, and research and internship opportunities all united using a guided pathways approach. The program will help meet a national need to attract and provide access to students who do not typically pursue, persist in, or earn STEM degrees. It will serve as a model for other community colleges.The SEECRS project aims to: (1) Improve students' STEM self-identity through a STEM Scholars Academy and course-based undergraduate research experiences; (2) Increase STEM recruitment and retention; (3) Increase the rate of STEM degree completion for WCC students; (4) Increase the transfer rate of STEM students to four-year universities; and (5) Develop an adaptable model for implementing a STEM guided pathways approach. Project goals are an 85% one-year retention rate, a 60% three-year graduation rate, and 75% three-year graduation or transfer rate. The project will address a knowledge gap by examining the extent to which a guided pathways approach provides a coordinated and supported STEM experience that increases student success and positively shifts students' STEM self-identity.

Whatcom社区学院的项目“通过参与合作，研究和奖学金（SEECRS）实现STEM卓越”将为36名低收入，学术才华奖学金获得者提供奖学金，攻读生物学，化学，计算机科学，工程学，地质学和物理学副学士学位。该项目的领导者将部署促进STEM成功的战略，帮助学生完成副学士学位，并促进四年制院校的转学和完成。项目活动将包括STEM学位规划，教师指导，研究和实习机会，所有这些都使用指导途径方法。该计划将有助于满足国家的需要，吸引和提供访问谁不通常追求，坚持，或获得STEM学位的学生。SEECRS项目旨在：（1）通过STEM学者学院和基于课程的本科生研究经验，提高学生对STEM的自我认同;（2）增加STEM的招生和保留;（3）提高WCC学生STEM学位的完成率;（4）提高STEM学生转入四年制大学的比例;（5）提高STEM学生的入学率。以及（5）开发一个适用于实施STEM引导路径方法的模型。项目目标是85%的一年留存率，60%的三年毕业率，75%的三年毕业或转移率。该项目将通过检查指导途径方法在多大程度上提供协调和支持的STEM体验来解决知识差距，从而提高学生的成功率并积极转变学生的STEM自我认同。
