PROJECT SUMMARY This is a resubmission application for a research education program to support individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue the study of bioengineering and a career in research. The overall objective is to recruit talented students from the Community College of Denver, a minority serving institution (MSI), into the undergraduate Bioengineering program at the University of Colorado Denver, also a MSI, and to provide these students with the skills necessary for postgraduate studies in bioengineering, biomedical sciences, and medicine. The rationale for the proposed research education program is that community college transfers are an important, but often neglected, part of the pipeline of students with diverse backgrounds that enter undergraduate bioengineering programs. In order to support this group of students we will pursue the following specific aims: (1) a pre-transfer advising program on academic, cultural, and financial issues to make for a successful transfer to a four-year degree program, (2) a summer bridge program in which students earn credit towards their degree and learn essential skills in design thinking and computational thinking while being oriented into campus culture, (3) academic year activities that includes paid engineering apprenticeships and a layered mentoring approach, (4) a summer research experience in bioengineering at an academic medical center that includes skills workshops and responsible conduct in research training, and (5) an honors and leadership program that provides additional research experience and leadership training in the junior and senior years as well as entry into a combined B.S./M.S. program. This approach is innovative because it targets a unique population of students with diverse backgrounds and will yield an educational research program that caters to their strengths and needs. The proposed education program is significant because it will provide both quantitative and qualitative data on how these approaches support science identity, academic efficacy, scholarship, and matriculation into postgraduate programs. If successful, this program could be expanded at CU Denver and replicated at other institutions to support community college transfers in bioengineering and related fields.

项目总结 这是一份重新提交的研究教育计划的申请，以支持 来自不同背景的人攻读生物工程和 从事研究工作。总体目标是招收优秀学生。 丹佛社区学院，一个少数族裔服务机构(MSI)，进入 科罗拉多大学丹佛分校的本科生生物工程课程，也是 MSI，并为这些学生提供研究生学习所需的技能 生物工程、生物医学科学和医学。建议的理由是 研究教育计划是社区大学转学的一个重要方面，但 经常被忽视的一部分，来自不同背景的学生进入 本科生生物工程课程。为了支持这群学生，我们 将追求以下具体目标：(1)在移交前提供咨询计划 学术、文化和财务方面的问题，以确保成功过渡到四年制 学位计划，(2)暑期桥牌计划，学生在该计划中获得学分 他们在设计思维和计算思维方面的学位和学习基本技能 在面向校园文化的同时，(3)包括有偿的学年活动 工程学徒和分层指导方法，(4)暑期研究 在学术医学中心的生物工程经验，包括技能 研究培训中的研讨会和负责任的行为，以及(5)荣誉和 领导力课程，提供额外的研究经验和领导力培训 在三年级和四年级，以及进入理工科/理工科结合的课程。这 方法是创新的，因为它针对的是具有不同技能的独特学生群体 并将产生一个教育研究计划，以迎合他们的 优势和需求。拟议的教育计划意义重大，因为它将 提供有关这些方法如何支持科学的定量和定性数据 身份、学术效能、奖学金和研究生入学申请。 如果成功，这一计划可以在丹佛州立大学扩大，并在其他地方复制 支持生物工程及相关领域社区学院转学的机构。
