Engineering Scholarships

目标：在两年的时间里，马奎特大学的CSEMS项目向80名低收入、有学术天赋的学生颁发了奖学金，这些学生来自电气和计算机工程、机械和工业工程、土木工程和环境工程以及生物医学工程。在招聘和选拔方面正在特别努力，从工程界任职人数不足的群体和残疾人中挑选个人。CSEM奖学金是对现有资源的补充而不是取代。方法：招聘包括马奎特国家认可的教育机会计划、新生前沿计划、残疾服务办公室和学生资助办公室，以及学生组织，如全国黑人工程师协会、西班牙裔专业工程师协会、女性工程师协会和阿尔法·奥米加·埃西隆工程联谊会。此外，这些奖学金是在所有工程专业二年级学生必修的迎新课程中推广的。该项目通过学术支持服务、咨询和辅导活动来留住奖学金获得者。马奎特工程学院的五年制毕业率已经达到了76%，远高于同类院校66%的毕业率。该项目提供了充足的职业发展和安置服务，为学者为工作做好准备。马奎特的奖学金获得者将获得广泛的面向应用的经验，以增加他们对工作场所需求的了解，他们还被建议通过合作或在商业和行业实习的经验，或通过协助教师导师的研究来获得工程经验。Marquette的合作项目是美国历史最悠久的项目之一。研究生调查记录了我们安置工作的成功。IMPACT：工程奖学金促进全日制入学，加上指导、建议和安置活动，其影响是显著的。确实有必要促进妇女和少数族裔进入工程专业。奖学金，加上辅导和咨询活动，正在提高留校率和完成率。最后，马奎特的奖学金是谨慎的长期投资：马奎特是理科(包括工程学)博士学位的重要来源，在1986年至1995年期间在私立一级博士大学中排名第二。

OBJECTIVES: Over a two-year period, Marquette University's CSEMS project is awarding scholarships to 80 low-income, academically talented students in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering. Special effort in recruiting and selection is being given to individuals from groups underrepresented in engineering and those with disabilities. The CSEM scholarships are complementing and not replacing existing resources. METHODS: Recruitment includes the efforts of Marquette's nationally recognized Educational Opportunity Program, the Freshman Frontier Program, the Office of Disability Services, and the Student Financial Aid Office, as well as student organizations such as the National Society of Black Engineers, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Society of Women Engineers, and the Alpha Omega Epsilon engineering sorority. In addition, the scholarships are promoted in an orientation course required for all engineering sophomores.The project is retaining scholarship recipients through academic support services, counseling, and mentoring activities. Marquette's College of Engineering already enjoys a 5-year completion rate of 76% -- substantially above the 66% rate of comparable schools. The project provides ample career development and placement services to prepare scholars for the workplace. Marquette's scholarship recipients receives extensive application-oriented experiences to increase their understanding of workplace needs, and they are also advised to acquire engineering experience through co-op or internship experiences with business and industry, or by assisting in a faculty mentor's research. Marquette's co-op program is among the longest established programs in the U.S. Post-graduate surveys document the success of our placement efforts.IMPACT: The impact of engineering scholarships to promote full-time enrollment, coupled with mentoring, advising, and placement activities, is significant. There is a real need to promote entry by women and minorities into engineering programs. Scholarships, coupled with mentoring and advising activities, are improving retention and completion. Finally, scholarships at Marquette are prudent long-term investments: Marquette is a significant baccalaureate origin of Ph.D.s in the sciences (including engineering), ranking second among private Doctoral I universities from 1986-1995.
