项目摘要

Student loan debt is frequently discussed as a creating a financial burden to underrepresented minority students (URM) leading to the lack of completing degrees at the undergraduate and graduate levels in engineering. This research project investigates a framework that describes students? perceptions about financial options for graduate school and how these options impact decisions to enter graduate school and the engineering workforce. The focus of this project is to leverage relationships with select Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) and Predominately White Institutions (PWI) in the Midwest that were established from the implementation of an earlier graduate recruitment program. The data collected from students of the participating universities includes decisions related to borrowing practices of student loans, accumulation of debt, decisions that impact career decisions related to debt, along with investigating students? perceptions and knowledge of financial options available related to their future as engineering graduate students. In addition, the researchers will investigate students, perceptions, knowledge and usage of financial options taken while they are an engineering graduate student and how these choices impact their decisions during graduate school. A mixed methods approach will be employed using quantitative and qualitative data to explore these issues from various perspectives. The expected outcomes from the analysis and the methods that are most effective at increasing the recruitment, retention and graduation of underrepresented minorities students will be disseminated through workshops and journals.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.

学生贷款债务经常被讨论为给代表性不足的少数民族学生（URM）造成经济负担，导致工程本科和研究生阶段缺乏完成学位。这个研究项目探讨了一个框架，描述学生？关于研究生院的财务选择以及这些选择如何影响进入研究生院和工程劳动力的决定的看法。该项目的重点是利用与选择历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU），西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）和占主导地位的白色机构（PWI）在中西部是从早期的毕业生招聘计划的实施建立的关系。从参与大学的学生那里收集的数据包括与学生贷款借款行为相关的决策、债务积累、影响与债务相关的职业决策的决策，以及沿着调查学生？作为工程专业的研究生，他们对未来的财务选择的看法和知识。此外，研究人员还将调查学生在工程研究生期间对财务选择的看法、知识和使用情况，以及这些选择如何影响他们在研究生院的决定。将采用混合方法，使用定量和定性数据，从不同角度探讨这些问题。将通过讲习班和期刊传播分析的预期成果和最有效地增加代表性不足的少数民族学生的招聘、保留和毕业的方法，这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
