This NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM) project at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) will support 78 talented low income students (26 students per year over three years) transferring to engineering and engineering technology programs from community colleges in New York. The project team will leverage several extant programs at RIT, including articulation agreements in place with a network of community colleges. In line with this, the project team will incorporate proactive recruiting and support strategies. Likewise, the S-STEM scholars' workforce preparation will be enhanced by a mandatory cooperative education program through which these transfer students will acquire a year or more of paid internship experience in industry before graduation. The project will focus on challenges often encountered by vertical transfer students by adding an extended orientation for the scholars and by customizing individual interventions and support such as targeted mentoring and advising in each of four crucial categories: academic; social; financial; and personal. The investigators will gather critical evidence to better understand essential elements for student success in a vertical transfer program, and will seek to answer two fundamental research questions: (1) How can 4-year private institutions use the vertical transfer pathway to attract high-achieving low-income students, and graduate them with a baccalaureate degree in engineering or engineering technology? and (2) What elements must a vertical transfer program have to be successful at a 4-year private institution? The researchers will collect data for each cohort and will use a mixed methods qualitative and quantitative approach to generate knowledge about each component of their transfer program in order to make appropriate adjustments to improve it as well as to determine which elements are essential to its success. The successful activities and components will be institutionalized and sustained at RIT, and the program will serve as a model, especially for other 4-year private institutions, to aid the expansion and diversification of the engineering and technology STEM workforce of the future.

这个NSF奖学金在科学，技术，工程和数学计划（S-STEM）项目在罗切斯特理工学院（RIT）将支持78有才华的低收入学生（26名学生，每年超过三年）转移到工程和工程技术课程从社区学院在纽约。项目团队将利用RIT的几个现有项目，包括与社区学院网络达成的衔接协议。据此，项目小组将纳入积极主动的征聘和支助战略。同样，S-STEM学者的劳动力准备将通过强制性合作教育计划得到加强，通过该计划，这些转学生将在毕业前获得一年或更长时间的带薪实习经验。该项目将重点关注纵向转学学生经常遇到的挑战，为学者增加扩展方向，并定制个人干预和支持，例如在四个关键类别中的每一个类别中有针对性的指导和建议：学术;社会;财务;和个人。调查人员将收集关键证据，以更好地了解学生在垂直转移计划中取得成功的基本要素，并将寻求回答两个基本的研究问题：（1）四年制私立机构如何使用垂直转移途径来吸引成绩优异的低收入学生，并使他们毕业于工程或工程技术学士学位？以及（2）在4年制私立院校，垂直转学计划必须具备哪些要素才能取得成功？研究人员将收集每个队列的数据，并将使用定性和定量的混合方法来生成有关其转移计划的每个组成部分的知识，以便进行适当的调整以改进它，并确定哪些元素对其成功至关重要。成功的活动和组件将在RIT制度化和持续，该计划将作为一个模型，特别是对其他4年制私立机构，以帮助未来的工程和技术STEM劳动力的扩展和多样化。
