项目摘要
This project will contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by supporting the retention and graduation of high-achieving, low-income students with demonstrated financial need at Central Oregon Community College. Over its six-year duration, this project will fund scholarships to 15 unique full- or part-time students pursuing an associate degree in Computer Information Systems (CIS) or Geographic Information Systems (GIS). First-year students will receive up to three years of scholarships. This project focuses on developing both technological and soft skills during the degree programs. Technological learning will be enhanced with focused mentoring from faculty and peers as well as cohort building beginning with a first-year course sequence. Soft career skills relate to communication and collaboration and will be enhanced using career counselors and workshops with local employers. As a result of project activities, the project will increase the number of students graduating in these fields and entering the information technology (IT) workforce who are low-income and from groups currently underrepresented in their pursuit of careers in IT. Additionally, the project will investigate best practices for helping academically talented students from these groups to succeed in college and transition to the workforce.The overall goal of this project is to increase STEM degree completion of low-income, high-achieving undergraduates with demonstrated financial need. The main objective of the project is to help low-income students complete their associates degrees in either CIS or GIS and move on to a career in Information Systems. This project will enhance hard technological skills while also building soft skills, which were identified as commonly missing skills for recent graduates by the the institution's CIS employer Advisory Board. The project’s main research question for evaluation will be whether filling these skill gaps can improve college retention and graduation and increase the number of graduates qualified for employment in the Information Systems industry. The project will target hard and soft skill gaps with individualized faculty and peer mentoring, student cohorts, a first-year course sequence, career counseling sessions, and workshops with professionals from the industry. Project evaluation takes an applied social science research approach that will: use data to improve decision making, determine if the project has met its objectives, measure the project’s impact, and disseminate the results. The results will be disseminated at the college, regional, and national levels and will help fill the knowledge gap on how building soft skills in community college students can lead to increased academic performance and job placement in the Information Systems industry. This project is funded by NSF’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program, which seeks to increase the number of low-income academically talented students with demonstrated financial need who earn degrees in STEM fields. It also aims to improve the education of future STEM workers, 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.
该项目将通过支持中奥勒冈社区学院(Central Oregon Community College)表现出经济需求的高成就低收入学生的保留和毕业,为全国对受过良好教育的科学家、数学家、工程师和技术人员的需求做出贡献。该项目为期六年,将为15名攻读计算机信息系统或地理信息系统副学士学位的全日制或非全日制学生提供奖学金。一年级学生将获得最多三年的奖学金。该项目侧重于在学位课程中培养技术和软技能。技术学习将通过教师和同行的重点指导以及从第一年的课程序列开始的队列建设来加强。软职业技能涉及沟通和协作,将通过职业顾问和与当地雇主的讲习班加以加强。作为项目活动的结果,该项目将增加在这些领域毕业的学生人数,并进入信息技术(IT)劳动力,这些学生来自低收入群体,目前在追求信息技术职业方面的代表性不足。此外,该项目将调查帮助这些群体中有学术天赋的学生在大学取得成功并过渡到劳动力市场的最佳实践。该项目的总体目标是提高有经济需求的低收入、高成就本科生的STEM学位完成率。该项目的主要目标是帮助低收入学生完成CIS或GIS的副学士学位,并继续从事信息系统方面的职业。该项目将提高硬技术技能,同时也培养软技能,这是该机构的CIS雇主咨询委员会确定的应届毕业生普遍缺乏的技能。该项目的主要研究评估问题将是,填补这些技能差距是否可以提高大学留校率和毕业率,并增加信息系统行业合格就业的毕业生人数。该项目将通过个性化的教师和同伴指导、学生群体、一年级课程序列、职业咨询会议以及与行业专业人士的研讨会来解决硬技能和软技能差距。项目评估采用了一种应用社会科学的研究方法,它将:使用数据来改进决策,确定项目是否达到了目标,衡量项目的影响,并传播结果。研究结果将在学院、地区和国家层面进行传播,并将有助于填补社区大学学生培养软技能如何提高学习成绩和在信息系统行业就业方面的知识空白。该项目由美国国家科学基金会的科学、技术、工程和数学奖学金项目资助,旨在增加有经济需求的低收入学术天才学生在STEM领域获得学位的人数。它还旨在改善未来STEM工作者的教育,并为低收入学生提供有关学业成功、留校、转学、毕业和学术/职业道路的知识。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命,并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,被认为值得支持。
