Program for Persons with Disabilities - PPD: RASEM Squared: Advanced Regional Alliance of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics for Students with Disabilities

提案#HRD-0124198机构：新墨西哥州立大学主要调查人员：William McCarthy和Ed Misquez标题：Rasem SquaredABSTRACT新墨西哥州立大学将成为科学、数学、工程和技术领域残疾学生区域联盟(SMET)的牵头机构。该项目名为Rasem Squared(或Rasem 2)，是基于NSF资助的早期项目Rasem(残疾学生科学、工程和数学区域联盟)的成功。该项目在该方案的五年中的主要目标是增加获得学士学位的残疾学生的数量，这些学士学位直接导致研究生培训或在他们想要的领域就业。为了实现这些目标，RASEM 2正在制定一项全面的教育方法，其中包括六项创新行动，其中五项先前经过RASEM的实地测试，另一项旨在为残疾学生全面参与SMET课程做好准备。这些行动将影响到整个教育过程中的学生，从K-12，到社区学院，再到新墨西哥州和德克萨斯州西部的大学。这六项行动是：1.大学前科学教育环境中的实践科学体验。2.作为本科生和研究生的正式研究经历。3.为残疾学生充分参与SMET课程做好师资准备。4.在学术水平之间架起桥梁。5.由成功的MMET专业人员和MMET残疾学生提供指导。6.获得合作公寓、暑期实习和专业工作。六项行动中的每一项都将使用提供该计划有效性证据的结果衡量标准进行评估。Rasem 2联盟由新墨西哥州(17所2年制社区学院、6所4年制学院和大学以及9个学区区域中心合作社)和西德克萨斯州(代表学区的两所大学和两个教育服务中心)的众多实体组成。该联盟还包括两个国家实验室、全州范围内为残疾人服务的机构，以及一个促进科学进步的国家组织。这些实体位于一个文化多样化、经济贫困的残疾学生和学生家庭群体广泛的区域。三个次区域的RASEM 2项目协调员将努力加强与各自地区公立学校的现有联系(或发展新的联系)。它们将促进在公立学校和高等教育机构之间架起桥梁的努力，并在其所在地区推广暑期项目。

Proposal # HRD-0124198Institution: New Mexico State UniversityPrincipal Investigators: William McCarthy and Ed MisquezTitle: RASEM SquaredABSTRACTNew Mexico State University will be the lead institution for a Regional Alliance for Students with Disabilities in Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (SMET). The project, entitled RASEM Squared (or RASEM 2), is based on the successes of an earlier project named RASEM (Regional Alliance For Science, Engineering, and Mathematics for Students with Disabilities) funded by NSF. The project's primary goal over the five years of the program is to increase the number of students with disabilities who graduate with baccalaureate degrees leading directly to graduate training or to employment in their desired fields. To achieve these goals, RASEM 2 is instituting a comprehensive educational approach composed of six innovative actions, five previously field-tested by RASEM and an additional one that prepares faculty for full participation of students with disabilities in SMET curricula. The actions will affect students throughout the education continuum from K-12, through community colleges, and to universities in New Mexico and far west Texas. The six actions are: 1. Hands-on science experiences in pre-college science education environments. 2. Formal research experiences as undergraduates and graduates. 3. Preparation of faculty for full participation of students with disabilities in a SMET curricula. 4. Bridge programs between academic levels. 5. Mentoring by successful SMET professionals and SMET students with disabilities. 6. Securing co-op, summer internships, and professional employment. Each of the six actions will be evaluated using outcome measures that provide evidence of the program's efficacy. The RASEM 2 Alliance is made up of numerous entities in New Mexico (seventeen 2-year community colleges, six 4-year colleges and universities, and nine school district regional center cooperatives) and West Texas (two universities and two educational service centers representing school districts). The Alliance also includes two national laboratories, the statewide agencies serving people with disabilities, and a national organization for the advancement of science. These entities are located in a region that has a broad spectrum of culturally diverse, economically impoverished constituencies of students with disabilities and student families. RASEM 2 project coordinators in three sub-regions will work to strengthen existing ties (or develop new ones) with public schools in their areas. They will facilitate efforts to provide a bridge between public schools and higher education institutions and promote summer programs in their geographical areas.
