Undergraduate Scholarship Program in a Technogenesis Environment

这个奖学金项目是为经济困难的学生提供的，通过教师指导的夏季研究，帮助他们在史蒂文斯获得学分，这与本科研究的标准模式不同。另一种途径是，学者们在学年期间为那些不倾向于研究的学生参与行业赞助的设计项目。该项目的显著特点是它与史蒂文斯正在实施的一项名为“技术生成”的全学院倡议的关系。技术生成指的是一种组织导向，旨在促进学术和学习领域的跨学科合作，涵盖从知识发现到技术应用，从概念到商业化的连续体。科技创新本科奖学金计划（UPT）建立在我们吸引本科生参与研究的丰富经验之上，但也增加了创新的维度，即教育学生将研究转化为技术实现。它还建立在史蒂文斯帮助弱势学生在大学和职业生涯中取得成功的成功经验的基础上。

This scholarship program for financially disadvantaged students facilitates their success through faculty-mentored summer research for credit at Stevens that represents a departure from the standard mode of undergraduate research. An alternate route is for the scholars to engage in industry-sponsored design projects during the academic year for those students not inclined towards research. The distinguishing feature of the program is its relationship to an Institute-wide initiative that Stevens is implementing known as Technogenesis. Technogenesis refers to an organizational orientation that seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration in scholarship and learning that spans the continuum from the discovery of knowledge to its application in technology, from conception through to commercialization. The Undergraduate Scholarships Program for Technogenesis (UPT) builds on our extensive experience of engaging undergraduates in research, but with the added innovative dimension of also educating students in the transitioning of research to technology realization. It also builds upon the wealth of successful experience at Stevens in helping disadvantaged students succeed in college and their careers.
