National Science Foundation Scholarship Program: Retaining Students in Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering

工程-99该项目为经济上处于不利地位的本科生和研究生提供指导和经验，这些指导和经验是专门为留住他们成功完成学位而设计的。 为支持为参与者建立一个同侪支助小组，正在针对两个学术方案（工程和数学与计算机科学）和两个学术水平（大一和一年级研究生）。 这些方案中的每一个都参与了称为人道主义工程和外联科学家的社区外联方案。 通过这些计划，参与者在他们的学术生涯早期从事各自领域的辅导项目，重点是推广。 职业中心正在提供职业决策和就业安置援助，该项目为更广泛的研究界提供了一个模式，以制定特别吸引妇女和其他代表性不足的学生的数学、科学和工程方案。 该项目的成果正在通过学科领域的专业会议、期刊和讲习班传播。

Engineering - 99This project is providing economically disadvantaged undergraduate and graduate students with mentoring and experiences that are specifically designed to retain them to the successful conclusion of their degrees. Supporting the development of a peer support group for participants, two academic programs (engineering and mathematical and computer sciences) and two academic levels (freshman and first year graduate students) are being targeted. Each of these programs is participating in community outreach programs called the Humanitarian Engineering and Outreach Scientists. Through these programs, the participants are engaging in mentored projects in their fields, early in their academic careers with an emphasis on outreach. The Career Center is providing career decision making and job placement assistance.This project is providing a model for the broader research community with respect to developing math, science and engineering programs with particular appeal to women and other under-represented students. Results of this project are being disseminated through professional conferences, journals, and workshops in the discipline fields.
