项目摘要
This project contributes to meeting the national need for well-educated scientists, technology experts, engineers and mathematicians by supporting low-income, academically talented technology majors with demonstrated financial need. Support will be in the form of scholarships and extensive supports that address their specific needs by strengthening their social capital through stronger relationships with their faculty and fellow students and by engaging in community service. Over its six-year duration, this project will fund scholarships for 24 full-time students who are pursuing bachelor’s degrees in majors such as Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, Game Design Development, and Cybersecurity. Scholars will be selected as first-year students and will receive scholarships for up to four years. Specific project activities include a pre-fall program that will focus on refreshing scholars’ math foundation, math tutoring, cohort building, faculty mentoring, lab workshops centered around game controller design, electronic puzzles, or 3D printing, career guidance for scholars and community engagement with STEM organizations. For community engagement, scholars will participate in internships to work with several community partners in Bridgeport, Connecticut that offer learning opportunities after school and in the summer to low-income K-12 students. This project will examine how the internships will impact scholars’ STEM identity and attitudes regarding social justice and service-learning over time, how they impact academic performance and how scholars’ personalities change over the duration of the six-year program.There will be three cohorts of eight students per cohort for a total of 24 unique scholars and 96 unique scholarships. Through the aforementioned scholarships and supports, Sacred Heart University will provide the means for low-income, talented scholars with financial need to persist in their major to graduation and support its scholars in their preparation to pursue positions in the workforce or to successfully advance to graduate school. The program has the following four objectives: (1) Decrease the drop-fail-withdraw rates for foundational mathematics courses and increase the first-year retention of scholars retained in their STEM majors; (2) Increase the four-year graduation rate for scholars in any of the S-STEM targeted majors; (3) Increase the number of scholars placed in a paid summer internship as a rising senior at regional companies and place scholars in a STEM position in the workforce or a graduate school program within six months of graduation. SHU has a longstanding tradition of service-learning in underserved communities and thus added a fourth objective: (4) Explore the impact of community engagement by giving scholars the opportunity to apply STEM concepts in communities of need. Each student will reach 200 hours per summer or winter break of community-focused, paid internship per scholar in their first and second years in their program. This project includes a rigorous evaluation plan to measure formative and summative progress and will disseminate its findings at the International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community-Engagement, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the Society of Women Engineers, and at other conferences. It also plans to sustain successful supports beyond the funding period. 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. The program 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.
该项目有助于满足国家对受过良好教育的科学家、技术专家、工程师和数学家的需求,支持低收入、有学术才能、有明显经济需要的技术专业学生。支持将以奖学金和广泛支持的形式,通过加强与教师和同学的关系以及参与社区服务来加强他们的社会资本,以满足他们的具体需求。在六年的时间里,该项目将为24名攻读计算机工程、电气工程、计算机科学、信息技术、游戏设计开发和网络安全等专业学士学位的全日制学生提供奖学金。学者将被选为一年级学生,并将获得长达四年的奖学金。具体的项目活动包括一个秋季前计划,该计划将专注于刷新学者的数学基础,数学辅导,队列建设,教师指导,围绕游戏控制器设计,电子拼图或3D打印的实验室研讨会,学者的职业指导和STEM组织的社区参与。对于社区参与,学者将参加实习,与康涅狄格州布里奇波特的几个社区合作伙伴合作,为低收入K-12学生提供课后和夏季学习机会。该项目将研究实习将如何影响学者的STEM身份和态度随着时间的推移对社会正义和服务学习,他们如何影响学业成绩以及学者的个性如何在六年计划期间发生变化。将有三个队列,每个队列8名学生,共24名独特的学者和96个独特的奖学金。通过上述奖学金和支持,圣心大学将为低收入,有经济需要的有才华的学者提供手段,以坚持他们的专业到毕业,并支持其学者准备追求就业岗位或成功地进入研究生院。该计划有以下四个目标:(1)降低基础数学课程的辍学率,并提高STEM专业学生的第一年保留率;(2)提高任何S-STEM目标专业学生的四年毕业率;(三)增加作为地区公司高级职位的带薪暑期实习学者的数量,并将学者安置在劳动力或研究生院的STEM职位在毕业后的六个月内。SHU在服务不足的社区有着长期的服务学习传统,因此增加了第四个目标:(4)通过让学者有机会在有需要的社区应用STEM概念来探索社区参与的影响。每个学生将达到200个小时,每个学生在他们的第一年和第二年在他们的计划以社区为重点,带薪实习每个暑假或寒假。该项目包括一个严格的评估计划,以衡量形成性和总结性进展,并将在国际服务学习和社区参与研究协会,黑人工程师全国协会,西班牙裔专业工程师协会,女工程师协会和其他会议上传播其研究结果。它还计划在供资期结束后继续提供成功的支助。该项目由NSF的科学,技术,工程和数学奖学金计划资助,该计划旨在增加低收入学术人才的数量,这些学生表现出经济需求,并获得STEM领域的学位。该计划还旨在改善未来STEM工作者的教育,并产生关于低收入学生的学业成功,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。
