Department of A Scholarship Program for Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Students: An Industry-Academia Partnership Approach

计算机科学、工程和数学学生奖学金计划：产学研合作方式该计划为25名本科生提供每学年3125美元的奖学金，前提是这些学生在毕业后两年内。该项目特别鼓励代表性不足的群体和转学生申请。所有工程专业、计算机科学和数学专业的学生都有资格获得奖学金。该计划加强了现有资源，以及与社区学院和行业的合作关系。该计划的主要目标是补充大学内的现有资源，以促进经济状况不佳，具有学术潜力的高年级本科CSEM学生改变生活，改变环境。这个目标是通过提供25个为期两年的奖学金来实现的，同时在大三和大四之间提供暑期工业或研究实习。该项目有以下支持目标，每个目标都有具体的、可衡量的结果：对这些数据进行分析并作为反馈，以不断改进项目：1)提高CSEM学生的毕业率，特别是少数民族和女性学生；2)减少CSEM学生完成学位的平均时间；3)通过增加学生参与教师资助的研究或通过与项目的行业合作伙伴批准的合作或暑期实习的机会，减少CSEM学生从事非智力工作的人数4)改进增加CSEM毕业生入读研究生院的人数。这些目标是通过改变学生环境、奖学金、保留和干预、专业发展和研究活动、产业合作和学术支持的独特组合来实现的，同时利用而不是取代现有资源。

Project SummaryA Scholarship Program for Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Students:An Industry-Academia Partnership ApproachThis program provides 25 undergraduate students $3125 per academic year provided the students are within two years of graduation. The program is managed to especially encourage applications from underrepresented groups and transfer students. All engineering majors as well as computer science and mathematics majors are eligible for scholarships. The program strengthens existing resources, as well as partnerships with community colleges and industry. The primary goal of the program is to supplement existing resources within the University to facilitate a life-altering, environmental change for financially disadvantaged, upper-division undergraduate CSEM students with academic potential. The goal is achieved by providing twenty-five, two-year scholarships supplemented with summer industry or research internships between the junior and senior years.The program has the following supporting objectives, each with specific, measurable outcomes, which are analyzed and serve as feedback to continually improve the program:1) Increase the graduation rate of CSEM students particularly minority and female students2) Decrease the average time to degree completion for CSEM students3) Decrease the number of CSEM students working in non-intellectually engaging jobs by increasing opportunities for students to work on a faculty member's funded research or through approved co-op or summer internships with industry partners of the program4) Improve employment placement in highly sought-after positions5) Increase the number of CSEM graduates who enroll in graduate schoolThe objectives are achieved through a unique combination of student environment modifications, scholarships, retention and intervention, professional development and research activities, industrial collaborations, and academic support while leveraging and not replacing existing resources.
