"SGER" Retention of Underrepresented Minority Students in Engineering: A Longitudinal Study at Seven Sites

*9614141莫里森REC 9614141 PI：凯瑟琳·莫里森和小乔治·坎贝尔全国少数族裔工程专业留学生行动委员会：七个地点的纵向研究：NACME提交的1,867,833美元，用于确定各种因素的相对重要性，这些因素将改善未占名额的少数族裔工程学本科生的留校率。它还试图澄清有助于保留特定族裔或种族群体的因素，这些因素适用于大多数或所有少数族裔工程专业学生。研究假设是，政策影响需要改变工程机构的文化。这项研究的目标是了解留住少数族裔的过程，提供有关促使政策和做法发生变化的机制的信息，并将其推广到高等教育中其他工程专业的更广泛的政策。

*** 9614141 Morrison REC 9614141 PI: Catherine Morrison and George Campbell Jr. National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering Retention of Under represented Minority Students in Engineering: A Longitudinal Study at Seven Sites Amount: $1,867,833 Submitted by NACME to establish the relative importance of factors that will improve the retention of under represented minority undergraduate engineering students. It further sought to clarify the factors that contribute to the retention of particular ethnic or racial groups and which apply to most or all minority engineering students. The study hypothesis was that policy implications required change in the culture of institutions of engineering. The goals of the study were to understand the processes of minority retention, to provide information on the mechanisms that enable changes in policies and practices, and to generalize to a broader policy for other engineering programs in higher education.
