Fast Track to Work: Scholarship Program for Graduate Students in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics

快车道计划的目的是继续招聘、毕业，并为妇女、少数族裔、残疾人和低收入研究生顺利过渡到劳动力大军和/或继续获得CSEM博士学位做好准备。智力价值四年制计划将通过以下方式使CSEM研究生受益：鼓励不间断地攻读CSEM领域的研究生学位，同时为学生顺利过渡到劳动力大军或完成博士学位做好准备；或每年在计算机科学、工程、数学和统计学科招收和留住29名获奖者；加强与CSEM教职员工、学生、主要管理人员、专业组织、地方、州和国家行业和政府机构的伙伴关系；支持和协助行业和当前的倡议，如LS CO-AMP、McNairScholars Program、WMEP(妇女和少数族裔工程计划)和PEAKS/AGEP，以招收CSEM领域中代表不足的少数族裔学生，包括妇女和残疾人；向受助者提供信息和资金，让他们参加专业发展研讨会、研讨会和会议，向潜在雇主展示他们的研究和网络；每年向获奖者管理跟踪表，以维护关系，以便将来在校园活动中使用，如指导、就业联系人和演示。广泛影响快速通道计划基于当前的模式，以加强21世纪的劳动力。为了应对当前的经济状况和困难，越来越多的人申请CSEM领域的研究生院。此外，企业继续报告在工程、科学和其他技术劳动力中缺乏女性和代表性不足的少数族裔。管理团队利用现有的合作者来提高对CSEM领域中代表性不足群体的认识和招募。这一伙伴关系的目的是制定和实施新的战略，使学生的兴趣和技能与兼容的工作场所相匹配。高素质的研究生在工作中表现出色，在课堂上提供优质的教学和指导。

The purpose of the Fast Track Program is to continue recruiting, graduating, and preparing women, underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, and low-income graduate students to make a smooth transition into the workforce and/or to continue toward a CSEM doctoral degree.Intellectual MeritThe four-year program will benefit CSEM graduate students by:oencouraging uninterrupted study toward a graduate degree in CSEM fields, while preparing students to make a smooth transition to the workforce or doctoral degree completion;orecruiting and retaining 29 recipients per year, in computer science, engineering, mathematics, and statistics disciplines;oreinforcing partnerships with CSEM faculty, students, key administrators, professional organizations, local, state, and national industries and governmental agencies;osupporting and assisting industries and current initiatives, such as LS CO-AMP, McNairScholars Program, WMEP (Women and Minorities in Engineering Program), andPEAKS/AGEP, to recruit and enroll underrepresented minority students, including women and persons with disabilities in the CSEM fields;oinforming and providing funds for recipients to attend professional development workshops, seminars, and conferences to present their research and network with prospective employers; andoadministering a tracking form to awardees annually to maintain relationship for future use of campus activities, such as mentoring, employment contacts, and presentations.Broader ImpactThe Fast Track Program is based on the current model to strengthen the 21st century workforce. In response to current economic conditions and hardships, more individuals are applying for graduate school in the CSEM fields. Also, corporations continue to report a lack of women and underrepresented minorities in the engineering, scientific, and other technical workforce. The management team uses its existing collaborators to increase awareness and recruitment of underrepresented groups in CSEM fields. The purpose of this partnership is to develop and implement new strategies to match students' interests and skills with a compatible workplace. The highly qualified graduate students provide excellent work performance in the workforce, and quality teaching and mentoring in the classroom.
