MIE: Planning Grant - MIE Program

9354148迪亚兹大都会大学（UMET）将制定一项全面的机构发展计划，该计划将在未来五到八年内为其科学和数学（S&amp；M）计划提供主要推动力。该项目将在S&amp；M教育方面产生重大的、长期的定量和定性的进步，这将显著提高少数民族学生完成学士学位并进入S&amp；M研究生学习的数量和质量。这一过程以及随后的项目将在Ana G. Mendez大学系统（AGMUS）的全力支持下开发，UMET是该系统的一部分，并与能源部（DOE）国家实验室、波多黎各学院和大学以及当地工业的支持和合作进行合作。该计划将包括：加强和扩大现有的学士学位课程；开设至少三个新的学士学位课程；进一步提高s&p；M教师的数量和质量；进一步加强对学生的支持和充实计划，包括大力扩大和加强本科生研究；完成S&amp；M教学和本科生研究设施的建设。UMET S&amp；M发展模式的目的是，并将设计，为数学和科学学生从大学预科到本科到研究生的过渡创造一个安全的途径，特别关注S&amp；M管道中的关键过渡点。一旦实施，该计划旨在为波多黎各其他四年制大学和整个大陆的少数族裔大学创建和验证s&p；M机构发展的模式。UMET预计，它将能够将学士学位专业的人数从400人增加到800多人，每年的学士学位毕业生从30人增加到224人，其中至少有100人将在波多黎各或美国大陆攻读标准与管理研究生院。

9354148 Diaz The Universidad Metropolitana (UMET) will produce a comprehensive institutional development program that will provide a major thrust in its science and mathematics (S&M) programs over the next five to eight years. This program will produce significant, long-term quantitative and qualitative advances in S&M education that sill significantly increase the number and quality of minority students who complete BS degrees and advance to S&M graduate studies. This process, and the program that will follow, will be developed with the full support of the Ana G. Mendez University System (AGMUS) of which UMET is part, and in collaboration with several Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories, Puerto Rico colleges and universities, and the support and collaboration of local industry. The plan will involve: strengthening and expanding existing BS degree programs; the creation of at least three new BS degree programs; further increasing the number and quality of S&M faculty; further enhancing student support and enrichment programs, including a major effort to expand and enhance undergraduate research; and completing the development of S&M instructional and undergraduate research facilities. The UMET S&M development model is intended, and will be designed, to create a secure pathway for mathematics and science students from pre- college through the undergraduate-to-graduate transition, focusing specifically on key transition points in the S&M pipeline. Once implemented, this program is intended to create and validate a model for institutional development in S&M for other four-year institutions in Puerto Rico and for minority institutions throughout the mainland. UMET projects that it will be able to increase the number of BS majors from 400 to over 800, and BS graduates from 30 to 224 per year, with at least 100 going on to graduate school in S&M either in Puerto Rico or on the mainland.
