RCMS: Computer Science Summer Institute for UnderrepresentedMinorities

本文件建议在加州大学欧文分校信息和计算机科学系设立一个常设暑期研究所。该研究所的主要目标将是增加未被充分代表的少数族裔学生对计算机科学的参与。该研究所以1992年夏季组织的一个试验项目为基础，将专门针对两年制院校的学生，并鼓励他们在UCI等四年制院校继续他们的计算机科学教育。该研究所将提供一个为期6周的综合课程，由以下主要部分组成：(1)一套三门课程--计算机科学入门课程、学习技能课程和职业发展诅咒；(2)在南加州一家主要计算机相关公司的企业实习；各种不同的文化间和跨文化体验，构成了学院的三个主要分会--美洲原住民分会、非裔美国分会和奇卡诺/拉丁裔分会。目标人口为每年60名学生。该研究所将由ICS部门、企业合作伙伴和以加州大学为基地的CAMP项目共同赞助。该研究所将通过为计算机科学学科提供一个有重点和高度结构化的方案来补充CAMP的广泛总体目标。

This document proposes the development of a permanent Summer Institute in the Department of Information and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. The main objective of this Institute will be to increase the participation of underrepresented minority students in Computer Science. The Institute, which is based on a pilot project organized for the Summer of 1992, will target specifically students at 2 year institutions and encourage them to continue their Computer Science education at a 4-year institution, such as UCI. The Institute will offer a comprehensive 6-week program consisting of the following major components: (1) a set of three courses - an introductory computer science course, a study skills course, and a career development curse; (2) a corporate internship with one of Southern California's major computer-related firms; a variety of inter-and cross-cultural experiences, structured into three main chapters of the Institute - Native American, African American, and Chicano/Latino Chapters. The target population will be 60 students each year Chapter. The Institute will be co-sponsored by the ICS Department, the Corporate partners, and the UCI-based CAMP project. The Institute will complement the broad overall objectives of CAMP by providing a focused and highly-structured program for the Computer Science discipline.
