With funding from the NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program, the ?Pathway to Completion for Pursuing Engineering and Engineering Technology Degrees? project will support high-achieving, low-income students with demonstrated financial need. The project will support students in STEM disciplines at the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology (BCET) at Old Dominion University (ODU) in Virginia. This project will fund 70 scholarships over five years for BCET students who are pursuing bachelor's degrees in engineering and engineering technology. The project will include recruitment of veterans who have exhausted their GI Bill Benefits, but have not yet completed their STEM degree. In addition to scholarships, the program will provide students with academic and mentoring support to increase academic success and workplace readiness, ensuring these students are ready to meet the demands of regional businesses near ODU.This S-STEM Track 2 project builds on several existing initiatives at Old Dominion University, and introduces additional effective student support practices targeted at areas expected to be particularly critical to student success. Through interventions and targeted support, the project aims to address the significant barriers and risk factors to degree completion of students pursuing engineering and engineering technology programs. The associated research activities will increase understanding of successful ways to support and encourage student success in STEM. This project has the potential to provide a model for how to retain student interest and participation throughout the completion of their degree. Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected to gather information about self-efficacy and the value and cost of education of participating students, especially veterans. The lessons learned in this study will be relevant to other institutions of higher learning, and military services may be able to use these findings to better prepare service members as they transition from military service to higher education.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.

在美国国家科学基金会科学、技术、工程和数学奖学金（S-STEM）项目的资助下，？工程及工程技术学位的完成途径？该项目将支持有经济需要的优秀低收入家庭学生。该项目将支持弗吉尼亚州老道明大学（ODU）弗兰克·巴顿工程技术学院（BCET） STEM学科的学生。该项目将在五年内为攻读工程和工程技术学士学位的BCET学生提供70个奖学金。该项目将包括招募已经用尽《退伍军人法案》福利，但尚未完成STEM学位的退伍军人。除了奖学金，该项目还将为学生提供学术和指导支持，以提高学业成就和职场准备，确保这些学生准备好满足ODU附近地区企业的需求。这个S-STEM第二轨道项目建立在老道明大学现有的几个项目的基础上，并引入了针对对学生成功特别重要的领域的额外有效的学生支持实践。通过干预和有针对性的支持，该项目旨在解决攻读工程和工程技术专业的学生完成学位的重大障碍和风险因素。相关的研究活动将增加对支持和鼓励学生在STEM方面取得成功的方法的理解。这个项目有可能为如何在完成学位的过程中保持学生的兴趣和参与提供一个模型。将收集定性和定量数据，以收集有关自我效能感和参与学生，特别是退伍军人的教育价值和成本的信息。本研究的经验教训将与其他高等教育机构相关，军事服务可能能够利用这些发现来更好地为服务人员从兵役过渡到高等教育做好准备。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
