Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships (CSEMS) Program

NSF计算机科学，工程和数学奖学金（CSEMS）计划正在科学与工程学院内实施，目标是学术才华，但低收入的学生攻读计算机科学，工程和数学理学学士学位。由于该机构的学生人数近50%是少数民族，因此该大学处于独特的地位，可以使用UTSA-CSEMS计划来扩大计算机科学，工程和数学领域代表性不足的少数民族的机会。40名学生在该计划下获得支持，该计划提供教师导师，学术提高机会，职业规划援助，以及旨在增加就业机会和鼓励学生追求高级研究生学习的其他活动。教师导师为学生提供有关其研究领域的职业机会和研究生院机会的建议，并向学生介绍研究。雇用大量计算机科学、工程和数学专业学生的地方组织正在安排学生参观公司的设施，各公司的代表也与学者会面，介绍他们组织的各个方面。该计划的成果正在跟踪，目标是在学院范围和大学范围内实施该计划的成功方面。

An NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship (CSEMS) program is being implemented within the College of Sciences and Engineering and targets academically talented but low-income students pursuing Bachelor of Science degrees in computer science, engineering, and mathematics. Because the student population at the institution is nearly 50% minority, the university is in a unique position to use the UTSA-CSEMS program to broaden the opportunities of underrepresented minorities in the fields of computer science, engineering, and mathematics. Forty students are receiving support under the program, and the program provides faculty mentors, academic enhancement opportunities, career planning assistance, and other activities designed to increase employment opportunities and encourage students to pursue advanced graduate study. Faculty mentors are advising the students on career opportunities and opportunities in graduate school in their fields of study and introducing the students to research. Local organizations which hire a significant number of computer science, engineering, and mathematics majors are arranging visits to the companies' facilities by the students, and representatives of various companies are also meeting with the scholars to make presentations about aspects of their organizations. The outcomes of the program are being tracked, with the goal being to implement the successful aspects of the program on a college-wide and university-wide basis.
