PPD/EP: Engineering for Persons with Disabilities: RASEM -A Regional Alliance on Science Engineering and Mathematics for Students with Disabilities

麦卡锡新墨西哥州立大学将建立并运营一个名为“科学、工程和数学区域联盟”（RASEM）的项目。RASEM将是一个区域中心，将与三州地区的其他教育实体和组织合作，以鼓励残疾学生从事科学、工程和数学（SEM）职业。该中心将为各州教育部门、两年制和四年制大学、中学、国家研究实验室以及公共和私人赞助商提供领导、协调、协助、评估和传播服务。这个为期三年的项目将支持消除阻碍残疾学生在SEM领域从事职业的障碍的策略。该中心还将与少数民族参与联盟（AMP）和少数民族学生成就综合伙伴关系（PMSA）项目合作，协助学生参与者完成关键的教育过渡。将通过包括概念视频、学生津贴、自适应技术、计算机网络、SEM夏令营和超级计算机体验在内的策略来鼓励和帮助中等教育水平的残疾学生。将为大学预科教师和行政人员举办讲习班，以消除陈规定型观念，促进教师参与支持残疾学生。在大学层面上使用的策略将包括财政激励、消除有效学习的障碍以及与其他教育伙伴建立合作关系。这些合作将刺激研究机会和指导关系。RASEM应该确保选择SEM职业道路的残疾人数量稳步增长，为该国其他中心提供榜样。

9550064 McCarthy New Mexico State University will establish and operate a project entitled "Regional Alliance for Science, Engineering, and Mathematics" or RASEM. The RASEM will be a Regional Center that will work with other educational entities and organizations in the three-state region for the purpose of encouraging students with disabilities to pursue science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM) careers. The Center will provide leadership, coordination, assistance, evaluation, and dissemination to state departments of education, two- and four-year colleges, secondary schools, national research laboratories, and public and private sponsors. The three-year project will support strategies that remove obstacles that impede students with disabilities from pursuing careers in SEM fields. The Center will also cooperate with the Alliances for Minority Participation (AMP) and the Comprehensive Partnerships for Minority Student Achievement (PMSA) programs in assisting student participants through critical educational transitions. Students with disabilities at the secondary level of education will be encouraged and assisted through strategies that include conceptual videos, student stipends, adaptive technologies, computer networking, SEM summer camps, and supercomputer experiences. Workshops will be offered to precollege teachers and administrators to dispel stereotypes and promote teacher involvement in support of students with disabilities. Strategies to be used on the college level will include financial incentives, removal of impediments to effective learning, and establishment of collaboration with other educational partners. These collaborations will stimulate research opportunities and mentoring relationships. RASEM should assure a steady growth in the number of persons with disabilities who select SEM career paths serving as a model for other centers in the country.
