项目摘要

With funding from the NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program, the "Encouraging Civil Engineering Retention by Increasing Community and Self-Efficacy" project will support high-achieving, low-income students with demonstrated financial need at The Citadel in South Carolina. Throughout its five years, this project will fund twenty scholarships for students who are pursuing bachelor's degrees in Civil Engineering. The project will also provide boot camp stipends for entering scholars, as well as summer stipends and travel support for continuing scholars. The project will seek to address the need to increase the number of STEM graduates with bachelor degrees in civil engineering. A diverse pool of civil engineers is significant for ensuring public safety and the efficient movement of people and goods, to support a robust economy. This project aims to meet this need by recruiting students to civil engineering, particularly students who are outside of the traditional pools of engineering talent. The project has the potential to increase the diversity of the civil engineering workforce and may bring new perspectives to the civil engineering process itself. It also has the potential to produce new insights into the impacts that changes to pedagogy and course sequencing have on student performance, self-efficacy, and persistence.The goal of this S-STEM Track 2 project is to encourage persistence of diverse, high-achieving, low-income students in civil engineering. Project objectives include attaining 85% persistence in civil engineering and 75% persistence within the two S-STEM cohorts. Each cohort of ten students will form a student academic community of practice. Cohort members will be scheduled in the same courses, assigned to common dormitories, and participate together in co-curricular seminars. Prior to their first and second years, students will live on campus and complete Calculus I and Calculus II in sections restricted to S-STEM students. During their second year of study, students will complete Chemistry I and II in small, active-learning sections. Professional mentorship, research, and internship opportunities will be provided to enhance students' self-efficacy. The project aims to study the impacts of the interventions on student self-efficacy, retention, and performance using validated instruments and follow-up focus groups and interviews. The project has the potential to develop theoretically grounded and empirically verified best practices for retention of low-income, high-performing engineering students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在国家科学基金科学、技术、工程和数学奖学金(S-STEM)项目的资助下，“通过增加社区和自我效能来鼓励土木工程留学生”项目将支持南卡罗来纳州城堡中表现出经济需求的高成就、低收入学生。在整个五年中，该项目将为正在攻读土木工程学士学位的学生提供20个奖学金。该项目还将为进入学者提供新兵训练营津贴，以及为继续学者提供暑期津贴和旅行支持。该项目将设法满足增加拥有土木工程学士学位的STEM毕业生人数的需要。多元化的土木工程师队伍对于确保公共安全、人员和货物的高效流动以及支持强劲的经济具有重要意义。该项目旨在通过招收土木工程专业的学生，特别是传统工程人才库之外的学生来满足这一需求。该项目有可能增加土木工程劳动力的多样性，并可能为土木工程进程本身带来新的视角。它还有可能对教育学和课程排序的变化对学生表现、自我效能感和坚持性的影响产生新的见解。这个S-STEM Track 2项目的目标是鼓励多元化、高成就、低收入的土木工程学生坚持下去。项目目标包括在土木工程方面达到85%的坚持性，在S-STEM的两个队列中达到75%的坚持性。每组10名学生将组成一个学生学术实践社区。小组成员将被安排在相同的课程中，分配到共同的宿舍，并一起参加联合课程研讨会。在一年级和二年级之前，学生将住在校园里，并在仅限S-STEM学生学习的部分完成微积分一和微积分二。在第二年的学习中，学生们将完成化学一和化学二的小组活动学习。将提供专业指导、研究和实习机会，以提高学生的自我效能。该项目旨在研究干预措施对学生自我效能感、保持能力和表现的影响，采用有效的工具和跟踪焦点小组和访谈。该项目有可能为留住低收入、高表现的工程学学生开发出有理论基础和经验验证的最佳实践。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
