The Engineering/Education Partnership Scholars Program

工程/教育合作学者计划是一个创新的，跨学科的两年奖学金计划，无缝集成专业发展，社区服务，低收入工程，计算机科学和应用数学本科生的技术教育。被选中的合作伙伴学者将经历密集的综合教育计划，从而获得工程、计算机科学或应用数学的本科学位，并获得最初的纽约州教师证书。从第二年开始，奖学金获得者将获得多种建议和指导。在他们大二和大三的夏天，他们参加了专门为支持专业发展而设计的讲习班。在他们三年级和四年级之间的暑假，作为辅修教育课程的一部分，他们自己辅导中学生。该项目的这些主要元素结合起来，为低收入学生创造了一个全面的发展模式，为他们提供了一套综合的教育经验，使他们成功完成工程学位和纽约州的初步教师认证。该项目的第二个重要目标是创建一个可持续的教师培训模式，为城市学校系统大量注入具有技术能力的教师。

The Engineering/ Education Partnership Scholar Program is an innovative, interdisciplinary two- year scholarship program that seamlessly integrates professional development, community service, and technical education for low income engineering, computer science and applied mathematics undergraduates. Selected Partnership Scholars experience an intense and integrated educational program leading to an undergraduate degree in either engineering, computer science or applied math and an education minor resulting in initial New York State Teacher Certification. Scholars are provided with multiple advising and mentoring tracks starting in their second year. During the summer of their sophomore and junior year, they participate in special workshops designed to support professional development. In the summer between their junior and senior year, they work with secondary school students as mentors themselves as part of their teaching hours for the education minor. These major elements of the project combine to create a comprehensive development model for low- income students providing them with an integrated set of educational experiences leading to successful completion of both an engineering degree as well as initial Teacher Certification in New York State. A secondary and important objective of this program is the creation of a sustainable teacher- training model that significantly infuses technology- competent teachers into urban school systems.
