Computer Science and Mathematics Mentorship and Scholarship Program

该项目为低收入、在数学和计算机科学领域有学术天赋的学生提供密集指导和奖学金。其目标是提高数学和计算机科学系学生的保留率，并为他们在工业和政府部门实习做好准备，以增加他们的学术经验。通过提供经济支持、计算机设备、额外的建议和小组学习活动，该计划帮助学生专注于他们的学术研究，并为他们未来在计算机和数学科学领域的工作做好准备。这个项目针对的是我们学生流失率最高的阶段。对于我们的本科生，该项目是针对那些已经完成了专业入门课程的学生。这些学生的具体目标是完成他们的入门课程，特别是数学、计算机科学和英语，并为他们获得实习和及时毕业提供必要的技能。对于硕士水平的学生，该计划的重点是解决攻读研究生学位的障碍以及从本科到研究生工作的过渡。为了增加在CSEM领域有充分准备的毕业生的数量，我们正在开展一项计划，其目标如下：o经济支持：缓解进入大二或开始攻读硕士学位的学生的经济问题。o辅导和小组学习：通过与计算机科学和数学教师以及小组工作进行密集的一对一互动，解决个人继续获得学术支持的障碍。o职业咨询：通过职业咨询和工作坊，提高学生的竞争力。o实习：通过在工厂和校园的实习，加强学生的经验和就业准备。计算机设备：通过提供笔记本电脑，增加学生使用计算机和使用新兴系统的能力。

This project is providing a combination intensive mentoring and scholarships to low-income, academically talented students in mathematics and computer science. The objective is to increase retention of students in the Mathematics and Computer Science department and prepare them for industry and government internships that enhance their academic experience. By providing financial support, computer equipment, and extra advising and group study activities, the program is helping students focus on their academic studies and prepare them for future jobs in computing and the mathematical sciences. This program targets the stages at which our students have the highest attrition rate. For our undergraduates, the program is directed at students who have completed the introductory courses in their major. The specific goals for these students are to finish their gateway courses, especially mathematics, computer science, and English, and provide them with the necessary skills to get an internship and to graduate in a timely fashion. For masters level students, the program is focusing on addressing the barriers to pursuit of a graduate degree and the transition from undergraduate to graduate work. To increase the number of well-prepared graduates in CSEM fields, we are undertaking a program with the following goals:o Financial Support: Alleviate the financial problems for students entering their sophomore year or beginning their masters degree.o Mentoring and Group Study: Address personal barriers to continuation with academic support in the form of intensive one-on-one interaction with computer science and mathematics faculty and with group work.o Career Counseling: Increase students' competitiveness through career counseling and workshops.o Internships: Strengthen students experience and job readiness through internships in industry and on campus.o Computer Equipment: Increase access to computers and students' ability to use emerging systems by providing laptop computers.
