项目摘要

The NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program supports the retention and graduation of high-achieving, low-income students with demonstrated financial need. Over the five-year award, this project at the Batten College of Engineering and Technology at Old Dominion University (ODU) will fund 60 scholarships to students, in groups of 6-8 students who are pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering. The project will include recruitment of second career seeking students interested in a concentration in manufacturing of advanced materials. In addition to scholarships, the program will include a hands-on, project-based curriculum with opportunities to conduct interdisciplinary research projects in advanced manufacturing areas. Co -curricular activities will include regular seminars, mentoring opportunities, and participation in professional societies and conferences for S-STEM scholars. This S-STEM project aims to create a pipeline for well-trained second career students entering engineering professions with focus on manufacturing of advanced materials.The project will focus on understanding the factors that affect academic success of engineering students at ODU. The combination of interventions will improve self-efficacy beliefs and outcome expectations among second career seeking students. Faculty from the Batten College of Engineering and Technology will collaborate with researchers in the Department of Psychology at ODU to study barriers, supports and resources that affect agility, academic success, recruitment, retention, and degree attainment of engineering students. The project will extend the methodology previously developed at ODU for understanding the differential experiences of groups of students as they transition along their careers paths. From the educational research point of view, the project will study the transition process for second career seeking students as an educational psychology research problem, identifying the critical barriers and the key driving factors (i.e. support and resources) that facilitate a successful transition to a new career. When acted upon, this knowledge may lead to improvements in the success rate for second career seeking students in engineering programs at ODU and nationwide. Therefore, the inclusion of second career seeking students at ODU will contribute to the national effort to engage wider groups of academically talented, hardworking students with financial need in STEM careers.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.

NSF 科学、技术、工程和数学奖学金 (S-STEM) 计划支持有经济需求的高成就、低收入学生的保留和毕业。欧道明大学 (ODU) 巴顿工程与技术学院的这个项目将在五年内为攻读工程学本科和研究生学位的学生提供 60 份奖学金，每组 6 至 8 名学生。该项目将包括招募对先进材料制造感兴趣的第二职业学生。除奖学金外，该计划还将包括基于项目的实践课程，提供在先进制造领域开展跨学科研究项目的机会。课外活动将包括定期研讨会、指导机会以及参加 S-STEM 学者的专业协会和会议。该 S-STEM 项目旨在为训练有素的第二职业学生进入工程专业创建一条管道，重点关注先进材料的制造。该项目将重点了解影响 ODU 工程专业学生学业成功的因素。干预措施的结合将提高寻求第二职业的学生的自我效能信念和结果期望。巴顿工程与技术学院的教师将与 ODU 心理学系的研究人员合作，研究影响工程专业学生的敏捷性、学业成功、招聘、保留和学位获得的障碍、支持和资源。该项目将扩展 ODU 先前开发的方法，用于了解学生群体在职业道路转型过程中的差异经历。从教育研究的角度来看，该项目将把寻求第二职业的学生的过渡过程作为一个教育心理学研究问题进行研究，找出促进成功过渡到新职业的关键障碍和关键驱动因素（即支持和资源）。如果采取行动，这些知识可能会提高 ODU 和全国工程项目寻求第二职业的学生的成功率。因此，将寻求第二职业的学生纳入 ODU 将有助于国家努力让更广泛的学术才华、勤奋且有经济需要的学生参与 STEM 职业。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
