Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Scholars Program

该项目的目标是招收和毕业更多有学术天赋和经济困难的学生，他们主修计算机科学、工程、数学和计算机技术。重点是招募和留住服务不足的群体。这一目标正在实现，其目标集中于征聘和留用、学术支助和增加教育机会。1. 目标1增加计算机科学、工程和数学（CSEM）专业学生的数量，在四年期间颁发166个奖学金。招聘策略建立在一个成功的国家科学基金会资助的招聘模式，IT途径，开发目标女性和其他代表性不足的群体。目标2侧重于留住学者，包括由CSEM教师、财政援助主任、学术和职业顾问以及学习实验室教师组成的校园支持团队。校园教师顾问监督学生的表现和进步，并根据需要制定个性化的早期干预策略。3. 目标3为学生提供了扩大其教育经验范围的机会。学生参加计划的商业/行业访问，CSEM与商业/行业/大学专业人士的论坛，从事职业探索和参加专业会议。该计划的智力价值在于旨在增加追求CSEM研究领域的学者数量，并坚持完成课程或完成学士学位。通过将CSEM学生与商业/工业/大学专业人士联系起来，联系延伸到了课堂之外。这些互动和专业会议的参与促进了区域和国家的CSEM知识。为确保学生达到其教育目标而计划的各种学术支持方法正在实现该项目更广泛的影响。学者的学术支持系统是围绕不同的教学模式、团队合作、网络、现场观察、实地研究和技术建立的。学生和教师探索传统学习方法的选择，以帮助学生实现。为了增加妇女和其他得不到充分服务的群体的参与，已经设计了学者的征聘和选拔程序，以确定和吸引代表性不足的群体参加csm的研究领域。

The goals of this project are to enroll and graduate more academically talented and financially disadvantaged students who are majoring in computer science, engineering, mathematics, and computer technology. An emphasis is placed on recruiting and retaining underserved groups. The goal is being accomplished with objectives focused on recruitment and retention, academic support and enhanced educational opportunities. 1. Objective 1 increases the number of computer science, engineering, and mathematics (CSEM) majors with the award of 166 scholarships over a four-year period. Recruiting strategies build on a successful NSF funded recruitment model, The IT Pathway, developed to target females and other underrepresented groups.2. Objective 2 focuses on retention of scholars and includes a campus support team of CSEM faculty, financial aid directors, academic and career counselors, and learning lab instructors. Campus faculty advisors monitor student performance and progress and develop individualized early intervention strategies, as needed. 3. Opportunities for students to expand the scope of their educational experience are offered with objective 3. Students participate in planned business/industry visits, CSEM forums with business/industry/university professionals, engage in career exploration and attend professional meetings.The intellectual merit of the program is the design to increase the number of scholars pursuing CSEM fields of study and persisting to program completion or bachelor degree completion. By networking cohort CSEM students with business/industry/university professionals, connections extend beyond the classroom. These interactions and participation in professional meetings advance CSEM knowledge regionally and nationally. The broader impacts of the project are being realized from the various methods of academic support planned to ensure students meet their educational goals. The academic support system for scholars is built around differing modes of teaching and learning, teamwork, networking, on-site observation, field research and technology. Students and faculty explore options to traditional methods of learning to assist students achieve. In an effort to increase the participation of females and other underserved groups, recruitment for scholars and the selection process has been designed to identify and attract underrepresented groups to a CSEM field of study.
