U.S. in Engineering and Computer Science

(99)、(31)、(59)美国目前面临着工程师和计算机科学家的短缺，随着高校每年毕业的这类专业人员数量继续不足，这种短缺情况还在加剧。更令人不安的是，女性和少数族裔在工程和计算机科学领域的代表性严重不足。为了保持美国作为技术领先者的角色，我们必须努力在这些领域包含更多不同的观点。为此，该大学正在增加在社区学院完成工程和计算机科学学位课程以及学士和硕士学位课程的女性和少数民族人数。奖学金提供给有经济需要的特殊学生，以招生战略为目标，以增加这些领域中代表性不足的少数族裔的数量。这些学生得到了强大的支持基础设施，确保他们拥有毕业所需的资源，并在工程和计算机科学领域找到有价值的职业。这一计划为大学和合作社区学院的学生提供了直接的好处，也使全国范围内代表不足的学生受益，因为通过传播努力，美国工程和计算机科学学院为全国的学院和大学树立了榜样。

(99), (31), (59) The United States is currently facing a shortage of engineers and computer scientists, a shortage which is growing worse as colleges and universities continue to graduate an insufficient number of these professionals each year. Even more disturbing is the severe underrepresentation of women and minorities in engineering and computer science. In order to maintain the United States' role as a technological leader, it is essential that we strive to include more diverse perspectives in these fields. To this end, the university is increasing the number of women and minorities who complete degree programs in engineering and computer science at community colleges as well as at the bachelor's and master's levels. Scholarships are offered to exceptional students with financial need, targeting recruitment strategies to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in these fields. These students are being provided with a strong support infrastructure which ensures that they have the resources they need to graduate and to find rewarding careers in engineering and computer science. This program provides immediate benefits to students at the university and at partnering community colleges and also benefits underrepresented students nationwide because, through dissemination efforts, U.S. in Engineering and Computer Science serves as a model for colleges and universities across the country.
