NMSU Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships (CSEMS) Program

为了支持完成学位，在新墨西哥州州立大学的CSEMS计划提供财政支持，以学术才华，经济上有需要的学生，通过促进学术和专业卓越和劳动力准备的活动，提高他们的教育经验。在1993年由新墨西哥州少数民族参与联盟建立的全州伙伴关系的基础上（新墨西哥州AMP）计划，CSEMS将为30名转学生和新生提供奖学金。此外，该计划还提供CSEMS学术和专业经验（CAPE），其中包括四个重要组成部分：1）学术辅导，2）学术和专业研讨会，3）学科特定的教师指导，和4）研究机会。CAPE补充了现有的学生支持计划和服务的广泛阵列.学生被招募与1）新墨西哥州AMP的现有机制合作计划，2）工程学院，3）艺术和科学咨询中心的学院，和5）财政援助办公室.课程选择将基于经济需要和学术成绩，第一优先考虑从新墨西哥州社区学院转学的代表性不足的学生，第二优先考虑以目标学科新生身份进入的高中毕业生，第三优先考虑目前就读的NMSU学生。CSEMS有助于提高新墨西哥州学生的毕业率，新墨西哥州有大量的西班牙裔和美洲印第安学生。通过CSEMS和CAPE，学生得到高度个性化的支持，与现有的机会很好地整合。教师导师与CSEMS主持人和新墨西哥州AMP工作人员密切合作，定期审查学生的进步。学生被告知有关现有的课程和研究机会，包括综合学习社区，和本科研究助学金（URA），教师指导的研究项目。作为学生，学生有机会进入CSEMS URA计划，这是奖励和鼓励学生达到更高水平的学术卓越的一种手段。在这个URA中，学生在感兴趣的领域进行研究，接受有针对性的指导和培训，并出席学生研讨会和会议。教师参与的高水平借给CSEMS的智力价值，与PI，三个合作PI，新墨西哥州AMP项目经理，和选拔委员会负责人目前在NMSU教学。更广泛的影响：通过全州范围的网络，CSEMS影响通过推进发现和理解，促进教学，培训和学习的国家学生群体。新墨西哥州州立大学的CSEMS促进改善接受高等教育的机会，特别是社区大学的学生，他们往往也是第一代大学生。CSEMS通过与本科生研究助理计划的紧密结合以及对教师和研究导师的关注，增强了研究和教育的基础设施。重要的是，它通过为学生提供实习，合作社和导师来加强与行业的联系。

To support degree completion, the CSEMS program at New Mexico State University provides financial support to academically talented, financially needy students, improving their educational experience through activities that promote academic and professional excellence and workforce preparedness. Building on the state-wide partnership established in 1993 by the New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (New Mexico AMP) Program, CSEMS will offer scholarships to thirty transfer students and incoming freshmen.Additionally, the program offers the CSEMS Academic and Professional Experience (CAPE) that includes four important components: 1) academic tutoring, 2) academic and professional workshops, 3) discipline-specific faculty mentorships, and 4) research opportunities. CAPE complements a wide array of existing student support programs and services.Students are recruited for the program in collaboration with 1) existing mechanisms of New Mexico AMP, 2) the College of Engineering, 3) the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Center, and 5) the Financial Aid Office. Program selection will be based on financial need and academic merit, with first priority given to underrepresented students transferring from a New Mexico community college, second priority given to graduated high school seniors entering as freshmen in the targeted disciplines, and third priority given to currently enrolled NMSU students.Intellectual Merit: CSEMS contributes to improved graduation rates for students in New Mexico, a state with a large pool of Hispanic and American Indian students. Through CSEMS and CAPE, students are afforded highly individualized support, integrating well with existing opportunities. Faculty mentors work closely with the CSEMS facilitator and New Mexico AMP staff to periodically review student progress. Students are advised about existing course and research opportunities, including integrated learning communities, and the Undergraduate Research Assistantship (URA), a faculty-mentored research project. As sophomores, students have the opportunity to enter the CSEMS URA Program, which is a means of rewarding and encouraging students to a higher level of academic excellence. In this URA, students conduct research in interest areas, receive focused mentoring and training, and present at student symposiums and conferences. The high level of faculty involvement lends to the intellectual merit of the CSEMS, with the PI, three of the Co-PIs, the New Mexico AMP Program Manager, and the Selection Committee Head currently teaching at NMSU.Broader Impact: Through the statewide network, CSEMS impacts the states student population by advancing discovery and understanding and promoting teaching, training, and learning. CSEMS at New Mexico State University promotes improved access to higher education, particularly for community college students who are frequently also first-generation college students. CSEMS enhances the infrastructure for research and education by its strong integration with the Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program and its focus on faculty and research mentorships. Importantly, it strengthens the connection with industry by provide internships, co-ops, and mentorships for students.
