NSF Graduate Fellowships in Support of a Program to Prepare Minority Graduate Students for a Career in Engineering Education

纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校沃森学院与巴尔的摩一所历史悠久的黑人大学摩根州立大学工程学院合作，设计了一个项目，为少数族裔研究生从事工程教育做好准备。该项目被称为“伙伴关系”，旨在早期识别摩根州立大学有学术天赋的工程专业学生，并为他们顺利过渡到纽约州立大学宾厄姆顿分校的研究生院提供学术建议和支持，并通过NSF研究生工程教育奖学金为研究生学习的前三年提供财政支持，以及对学术生涯的具体培训和鼓励。沃森商学院和摩根州立大学非常适合开发一个成功的合作项目。这两个项目都是相对较小的年轻项目，致力于少数民族工程教育，与行业有联系，并得到州政府对少数民族教育的积极支持。这两所学校都有活跃于工程教育社团的教职员工。他们已经建立了教师研讨会交流。

A program to prepare minority graduate students for a career in engineering education has been designed by the Faculty of the Watson School, SUNY-Binghamton, in conjunction with the engineering Faculty of Morgan State University, a historically black university in Baltimore. The program, called The Partnership, features early identification of academically talented engineering students at Morgan State, and provides academic advising and support to smooth the transition to graduate school at SUNY-Binghamton, financial support through the NSF Graduate Engineering Education Fellowship for the first three years of graduate study, and specific training and encouragement for an academic career. The Watson School and Morgan State are uniquely suited to develop a successful collaborative program. Both are relatively small, young programs with a strong commitment to minority engineering education, links with industry and active support for minority education from the state governments. Both have faculty members who are active in engineering education societies. They have already established a faculty seminar exchange.
