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 North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS). Over its 6-year duration, this project will fund scholarships to a minimum of 70 unique full- and part-time students who are pursuing associate’s degrees in 11 career and technical education (CTE) and 5 liberal arts transfer programs. Based on enrollment trends, approximately 85% of the scholarship recipients are expected to be CTE students. The project addresses retention, graduation and engagement by providing financial, academic, and professional success support personalized to each STEM Scholar. This includes experiential learning such as class projects, internships, research projects, co-curricular activities, and professional development activities. This project also supports a professional development activity that will develop STEM awareness, the ability to understand the relationship between STEM disciplines, and use the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics collaboratively to solve a problem. The project will address the statewide and regional in-demand workforce by graduating students who not only possess the technical skills required by industry and universities but will also possess the career-ready skills critical for professional success, and understand the importance of their profession to the STEM community.The overall goal of this project is to increase degree completion rates for low-income, high-achieving undergraduates with demonstrated financial need. The specific objectives of the project are to (1) recruit academically-talented STEM students with demonstrated financial need, (2) retain 100% of the STEM Scholars from their first to second year of study and graduate 90% of STEM Scholars within two years, and (3) integrate professional skills throughout their plan of study. Retention efforts will focus on faculty and peer mentoring, student success initiatives, and experiential learning. This project will address the disconnect between college education and industry expectations by including professional development activities for faculty and students that include individualized growth plans and career success seminars as well as leadership opportunities in the form of co-curricular activities. Students in each STEM program view their program as being isolated from the others. The project will address this misconception by incorporating STEM awareness activities throughout the career success seminars, arranging tours of each campus laboratory to learn how each program is similar, and by encouraging collaboration on projects between student groups. The project will provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to contribute to their career, and to understand their individual contribution to regional and national STEM needs. The project will be evaluated using a mixed-method approach of student surveys, structured interviews, focus groups, and inventory analyses of student work and artifacts. The results will be disseminated to the public, and CTE and STEM communities. 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.
该项目将通过支持北达科他州州立科学学院(NDSCS)留住和毕业有经济需求的高成就低收入学生,来促进国家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。在为期6年的时间里,该项目将为至少70名正在攻读11个职业与技术教育(CTE)和5个文科转学项目的副学士学位的全日制和兼职学生提供奖学金。根据招生趋势,大约85%的奖学金获得者预计将是CTE学生。该项目通过为每一位STEM学者提供个性化的财务、学术和职业成功支持,解决留住、毕业和参与问题。这包括体验式学习,如课堂项目、实习、研究项目、合作课程活动和专业发展活动。该项目还支持一项职业发展活动,该活动将培养STEM意识,理解STEM学科之间的关系的能力,并协作使用科学、技术、工程和数学领域来解决问题。该项目将针对全州和地区的劳动力需求,通过毕业的学生不仅拥有行业和大学所需的技术技能,还将拥有对职业成功至关重要的职业准备技能,并了解其专业对STEM社区的重要性。该项目的总体目标是提高低收入、高成就、有经济需求的本科生的学位完成率。该项目的具体目标是:(1)招收有明显经济需求的有学术天赋的STEM学生;(2)从第一年到第二年留住100%的STEM奖学金获得者,并在两年内使90%的STEM奖学金获得者毕业;(3)将专业技能融入其学习计划。留住员工的努力将集中在教师和同行指导、学生成功倡议和体验式学习上。该项目将解决大学教育与行业期望之间的脱节问题,包括针对教职员工和学生的专业发展活动,包括个性化的成长计划和职业成功研讨会,以及以联合课程活动的形式提供领导机会。每个STEM项目的学生都认为他们的项目与其他项目是孤立的。该项目将通过将STEM意识活动纳入职业成功研讨会的整个过程,安排参观每个校园实验室以了解每个项目的相似之处,并通过鼓励学生团体之间在项目上的合作来解决这种误解。该项目将为学生提供必要的知识和技能,为他们的职业生涯做出贡献,并了解他们对地区和国家STEM需求的个人贡献。该项目将使用学生调查、结构化访谈、焦点小组以及对学生作业和文物的清单分析的混合方法进行评估。结果将向公众、CTE和STEM社区传播。该项目由NSF的科学、技术、工程和数学奖学金项目资助,该项目旨在增加在STEM领域获得学位的低收入学术天才学生的数量。它还旨在改善未来STEM工作者的教育,并产生关于低收入学生的学业成功、留住、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优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
