项目摘要

California State University, Fresno's "Mentoring Math Scholars for Success" program will recruit academically talented, low income students and provide them with scholarships, plus supports that enable them to graduate in four years and successfully enter the workforce or graduate school. The program will guide the selected Scholars along an intense, 18-credit STEM course-taking pathway from their first year and presents them with problem-solving challenges to cultivate interest and readiness for advanced mathematics. Faculty mentors will support these academic challenges by cultivating and deepening the pre-research environment in the Scholars' first and second years, preparing them to succeed at research experiences and advanced courses in their junior and senior years.Many of these problem-solving challenges will generate open-ended investigation to strengthen the Scholars' sense of mathematical proficiency and individual problem-solving skills. Also, these challenges will prepare them for mathematical jobs that require an inquisitive mind and the ability to communicate mathematics well, both orally and in writing. As the Scholars approach graduation, the faculty mentors will coach them in applying for jobs and graduate schools. Finally, industry partners will engage the Scholars early on with site visits to stimulate interest in career paths and to develop high value job skills, such as mock interviews. The program's mathematics education researcher will measure the effectiveness of each intervention, as well as the entire suite of interventions, to strengthen the Scholars' intellectual foundation and experience. The Math Department will institutionalize activities as the results merit and make them available to similar institutions nationwide, moving closer to the goal of supporting the nationally available pool of mathematics talent.

加州州立大学弗雷斯诺分校的“辅导数学学者走向成功”计划将招收有学术天赋的低收入学生，为他们提供奖学金，并为他们提供支持，使他们能够在四年内毕业并成功进入劳动力大军或研究生院。该计划将引导被选中的学者从第一年开始沿着密集的、18学分的STEM课程学习，并为他们提供解决问题的挑战，以培养他们对高等数学的兴趣和准备。教师导师将通过在第一和第二年培养和深化预研环境来支持这些学术挑战，为他们在初中和高中的研究经验和高级课程中取得成功做好准备。这些解决问题的挑战中的许多将产生开放式调查，以加强学者的数学熟练感和个人解决问题的技能。此外，这些挑战将使他们为数学工作做好准备，这些工作需要好奇心和良好的数学口头和书面交流能力。随着奖学金获得者毕业的临近，教师导师将指导他们申请工作和研究生院。最后，行业合作伙伴将在早期通过实地访问让学者们参与进来，以激发人们对职业道路的兴趣，并培养高价值的工作技能，如模拟面试。该项目的数学教育研究人员将衡量每一项干预措施的有效性，以及整套干预措施，以加强学者们的智力基础和经验。数学系将根据结果将活动制度化，并将其提供给全国类似的机构，向支持全国可用的数学人才库的目标更近一步。
