项目摘要

To sustain the nation's global position in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), institutions of higher education are investing in efforts to increase the success, retention, and graduation of all students who pursue baccalaureate degrees in STEM. The goal of this project is to increase the quality and number of academically talented low-income community college students who are preparing for STEM graduate study or the STEM workforce by successfully transferring to a four-year institution and completing baccalaureate degrees in STEM. Community-college students planning to transfer to a STEM baccalaureate degree program at Michigan State University (MSU) will be given financial assistance and will receive enhanced academic support and professional development while completing their STEM bachelor's degrees. The project partners Michigan State University (East Lansing, MI) with Mott Community College (Flint, MI) and Washtenaw Community College (Ann Arbor, MI). As students progress through their academic programs, an embedded research component will study the factors influencing their persistence in the natural sciences, their academic performance in science and math courses, their graduation rates, and their aspirations to pursue careers in the natural sciences. During their time in the program, Natural Science Transfer Scholars will be supported through activities such as peer and faculty mentoring and research experiences that promote successful academic and social integration into the campus STEM culture and enterprise. The research component will investigate the connections between programmatic activities at two-year college settings to their impact on students' sense of self-efficacy, mindset, and identity. To understand the pathway from community college to four-year programs in STEM, the project will develop a set of longitudinal case studies of students who transfer from two-year colleges to a four-year college in the natural sciences. The case studies will be used to inform the future design of programs supporting students who transfer into natural science academic programs. Ultimately, this project will increase the number of STEM graduates and advance our nation's understanding of how to best support the development of self-efficacy, mindset, and identity as scientists among low-income students who transfer from two-year colleges into four-year STEM degree programs.

为了保持国家在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）方面的全球地位，高等教育机构正在投资努力提高所有攻读STEM学士学位的学生的成功，保留和毕业。该项目的目标是通过成功转入四年制院校并完成STEM学士学位，提高学术才华的低收入社区大学生的质量和数量，为STEM研究生学习或STEM劳动力做准备。计划转入密歇根州立大学（MSU）STEM学士学位课程的社区学院学生将获得经济援助，并将在完成STEM学士学位的同时获得更好的学术支持和专业发展。该项目与密歇根州立大学（密歇根州东兰辛）、莫特社区学院（密歇根州弗林特）和华盛顿社区学院（密歇根州安阿伯）合作。随着学生在学术课程中的进步，嵌入式研究组件将研究影响他们在自然科学中的持久性的因素，他们在科学和数学课程中的学习成绩，他们的毕业率，以及他们追求自然科学事业的愿望。在他们的时间在程序中，自然科学转移学者将通过活动，如同行和教师指导和研究经验，促进成功的学术和社会融入校园干文化和企业的支持。研究部分将调查两年制大学设置的方案活动对学生自我效能感，心态和身份的影响之间的联系。为了了解从社区学院到STEM四年制课程的途径，该项目将开发一套纵向案例研究，研究从两年制学院转到自然科学四年制学院的学生。这些案例研究将用于为未来的课程设计提供信息，以支持转入自然科学学术课程的学生。最终，该项目将增加STEM毕业生的数量，并促进我们国家对如何最好地支持从两年制大学转入四年制STEM学位课程的低收入学生的自我效能，心态和科学家身份的发展的理解。
