Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program

(99)、(21)、(59)该项目管理对一群学业成绩较高的低收入学生的经济、学术和非学术支持。该项目包括一个新的一个学分的数学/工程实验室课程，至少在授奖期间提供。它旨在为数学和工程学科专业的大三和大四的本科生提供支持，包括研究经验、专业发展、职业规划和咨询。一小部分高级研究生具有指导功能，为他们作为研究人员和教育工作者的职业生涯做好准备。该实验室对选定课程的所有学生开放，但奖学金获得者每学期都需要注册。奖学金申请机制征求学生的学术成就、专业水平和经济需求的信息，并确定提高学生在两年内毕业前景的学术和非学术支持的性质。每学年向大约36名本科生提供奖学金，在某种程度上缓解了迫使许多人在学年期间从事兼职工作的经济需要。由于这样的就业限制了他们参与工程学院正在进行的支持活动，这些学生以前没有与其他学生和教职员工建立网络。该实验室的主要功能之一是为所有数学和工程本科生提供组建同行工作组的机会。虽然研究生导师每学期都会为所有注册的学生提供一些课程支持，但实验活动每学期都会有所发展。第一个学期的活动致力于项目导向。申请表明希望获得非学术支持服务的学生被识别出来，并被引导到校园项目，如咨询中心、学生支持服务、学习体验中心和其他适当的服务。数学/工程学教师在实验室做报告，招募学生参与当前的研究项目。在第二学期，奖学金学生被要求准备一份研究计划书，以加入一个积极的研究小组。在第三和第四学期，奖学金学生从事研究。实验活动通过职业规划、面试技巧的发展和研究生院的建议为学生的研究生职业生涯做好准备。该实验室为学生提供了一个论坛，让他们与雇用数学/工程毕业生的行业代表会面。

(99), (21), (59) This project administers financial, academic, and non-academic support to a cohort of low income students whose academic merit is high. The project includes a new one credit Mathematics/Engineering Laboratory course being offered for at least the duration of the award. It is designed to provide support, including research experience, professional development, career planning, and counseling, to junior and senior undergraduate students majoring in mathematics and engineering disciplines. A small group of advanced graduate students have mentoring functions, enhancing their preparation for careers as researchers and educators. The lab is open to all students in selected courses, but registration in every semester is required of scholarship recipients. The application mechanism for scholarships solicits information on students' academic merit, professionalism, and financial need, and ascertains the nature of the academic and non-academic support that enhances students' prospects for graduation within two years. Scholarships to approximately thirty six undergraduates each academic year remedies, to some degree, the financial need that forces many to take part time employment during the academic year. Since such employment inhibits their participation in ongoing support activities in the College of Engineering, these students have not previously formed networks with other students and faculty. One of the primary functions of the laboratory is to provide all math and engineering undergraduates the opportunity to form peer working groups. Laboratory activities evolve each semester, although some course support for all registered students is provided by graduate student mentors in every semester. The first semester of activity is devoted to program orientation. Students whose application indicates the desire for non-academic support services are identified and directed to campus programs such as the Counseling Center, Student Support Services, the Center for Learning Experience, and other appropriate services. Math/Engineering faculty make presentations in the lab to recruit students to work on current research projects. During the second semester, scholarship students are required to prepare a research proposal to join an active research group. During the third and fourth semesters, scholarship students engage in research. Lab activities prepare students for their postgraduate careers through career planning, development of interview skills, and graduate school advisement. The laboratory serves as a forum for students to meet with representatives of industries that employ Math/Engineering graduates.
