Scholarships for Minority Students in Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics

DUE-0094841该项目为符合条件的少数民族学生提供计算机科学、工程和数学学科的奖学金。该计划利用现有少数族裔工程计划的活动来支持学者。学者由高年级学生和校友指导，定期参加小组会议，并鼓励参与学院内的学生活动。面临物理不及格风险的学生将获得经济激励，让他们报名参加一门特殊的预科课程和后续的可选教程部分，这些课程以最先进的教育技术为特色，并已与创新教学相结合。初步结果表明，该方法能显著降低标准微积分物理课程的失败率。通过将特殊课堂体验与支持服务相结合，该计划旨在留住有才华、经济困难的少数族裔学生，他们正在攻读计算机科学、工程和数学学士学位。

DUE-0094841This project provides scholarships to qualified minority students enrolled in computer science, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The program leverages the activities of an existing Minority Engineering Program in support of the scholars. Scholars are mentored by both upper class students and alumni, participate in regular group meetings, and are encouraged to become involved in student activities within the college. Students at risk of failing physics are provided with an economic incentive to enroll in a special preparatory course and in the follow- on optional tutorial sections which feature state-of-the-art educational technologies that have been integrated with innovative pedagogy. Preliminary results show that the approach can significantly reduce the failure rate in the standard calculus-based physics course. By combining special classroom experiences with supportive services, the program seeks to retain talented, financially disadvantaged minority students pursuing in bachelor's degrees in computer science, engineering and mathematics.
