项目摘要

This five-year project aims to contribute to the national need for well-educated engineers. It will support the success of at least thirty low-income, high-achieving STEM undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need at Fresno City College, a two-year institution. Specifically, the project will provide two-year scholarships to five cohorts of students who are pursuing an associate's degree or certificate in engineering at Fresno City College. At least thirty students will be supported at Fresno City College, two of whom will receive an additional two-year scholarship to complete a bachelor's degree in engineering at California State-Fresno. At Fresno City College, the Scholars will participate in program orientation at the beginning of each fall semester, pursue a transfer pathway curriculum designed to transition students to a four-year university engineering program, attend bi-weekly seminar events and monthly meetings with faculty mentors and peer mentors, serve as peer mentors for succeeding cohorts of Scholars, and participate in undergraduate research projects in collaboration with California State-Fresno. Fresno City College is a Hispanic-serving institution and recruiting will focus on women and students with disabilities, thus increasing the potential of the project to broaden participation in engineering. The goal of the project is to increase degree completion of low-income, high-achieving engineering undergraduates. The project includes a research plan to determine factors that influence student identity and sense of belonging. The researchers will test the hypothesis that engaging Fresno City College students in a collaborative, cohort experience will support students' movement from the periphery of learning to the center of a community in which learning is a collective experience guided by community membership. This project has the potential to create new knowledge about how the socio-cultural context of students from an area of concentrated poverty, such as Fresno, experience community and develop a STEM identity. This project is funded by the NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program, which seeks to increase the number of low-income, academically high-achieving students with demonstrated financial need who earn degrees in STEM fields. It also aims to improve the education of future scientists, engineers, and technicians, and to generate knowledge about academic success, retention, transfer, graduation, and academic/career pathways of low-income 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.

这个为期五年的项目旨在满足国家对受过良好教育的工程师的需求。它将支持至少30名低收入，高成就的STEM本科生在弗雷斯诺城市学院（一所两年制大学）的成功，这些学生证明了他们的经济需求。具体而言，该项目将为在弗雷斯诺城市学院攻读工程学副学士学位或证书的五批学生提供为期两年的奖学金。弗雷斯诺城市学院将资助至少30名学生，其中两名将获得额外的两年奖学金，在加州州立弗雷斯诺大学完成工程学士学位。在弗雷斯诺城市学院，学者们将在每个秋季学期开始时参加课程定位，追求旨在将学生过渡到四年制大学工程课程的转学课程，参加双周研讨会活动和每月与教师导师和同行导师的会议，担任后续学者群体的同行导师，并与加州州立大学弗雷斯诺分校合作参与本科生研究项目。弗雷斯诺城市学院是一个为西班牙裔服务的机构，招聘将侧重于妇女和残疾学生，从而增加了该项目的潜力，以扩大对工程的参与。该项目的目标是提高低收入、高成就的工程本科生的学位完成率。该项目包括一项研究计划，以确定影响学生身份和归属感的因素。研究人员将测试一个假设，即让弗雷斯诺城市学院的学生参与协作，队列体验将支持学生从学习的外围运动到社区的中心，在社区中，学习是由社区成员指导的集体体验。该项目有可能创造新的知识，了解来自弗雷斯诺等集中贫困地区的学生的社会文化背景，体验社区并发展STEM身份。该项目由NSF科学，技术，工程和数学奖学金计划资助，旨在增加低收入，学术成就高的学生的数量，这些学生表现出经济需求，并获得STEM领域的学位。它还旨在改善未来科学家、工程师和技术人员的教育，并产生关于低收入学生的学术成功、保留、转移、毕业和学术/职业道路的知识。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。
