PPD: DO-IT Extension

HRD-9550003*鲍文*华盛顿大学于1992年从国家科学基金会获得为期三年的拨款，用于开展招收和留住科学、工程和数学(SEM)项目的残疾学生的活动。该项目名为DO-IT(残疾、机会、互联网和技术)。DO-IT帮助残疾高中生认识到他们的学业和职业潜力，并过渡到SEM的大学学习；SEM教师变得更愿意接受和有能力将残疾学生纳入他们的课程；父母、服务提供者和公众已经更加意识到残疾个人在SEM领域的潜在贡献和特殊需求。建议继续进行的具体DO-IT活动包括：(1)暑期学习计划，让残疾高中生探索结构调整领域并学习大学过渡技能和策略；(2)指导计划，将残疾高中生与结构调整计划学术计划和职业生涯中的成功榜样相匹配；(3)利用互联网进行交流和信息检索；(4)向教职员工介绍残疾意识；(5)过渡和适应技术讲习班；以及(6)通过电子资源、印刷品和录像带传播计划和残疾相关信息。DO-IT的努力将扩展到：(1)使残疾人士更容易获得本科校园SEM课程；(2)帮助残疾学生顺利完成大学学业；(3)帮助学生过渡到就业和研究生学习；(4)增加对残疾学生的外展努力；(5)在SEM中找出导致大学完成和就业的因素；以及(6)增加传播活动。

HRD-9550003 *BOWEN* The University of Washington was awarded a three-year grant in 1992 from the National Science Foundation to undertake activities to recruit and retain students with disabilities in science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM) programs. The project is called DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology). DO-IT has helped high school students with disabilities realize their academic and career potential, and transition to college studies in SEM; SEM faculty have become more receptive and capable of including students with disabilities in their courses; and parents, service providers, and the public have become more aware of the potential contributions and special needs in SEM fields of individuals with disabilities. Specific DO-IT activities proposed for continuation include: (1) summer study programs which allow high school students with disabilities to explore SEM fields and learn college transition skills and strategies; (2) a mentoring program that matches high school students with disabilities with successful role models in SEM academic programs and careers; (3) Internet access for communication and information retrieval; (4) disability awareness presentations to faculty; (5) transition and adaptive technology workshops; and (6) dissemination of program and disability- related information through electronic resources, printed materials, and videotapes. DO-IT efforts are proposed to be extended to: (1) make undergraduate campus SEM programs more accessible to individuals with disabilities; (2) help students with disabilities successfully complete college; (3) help students transition to employment and graduate studies; (4) increase outreach efforts to students with disabilities; (5) identify factors leading to college completion and employment in SEM; and (6) increase dissemination activities.
