Mathematics, Engineering, Technology, and Science Scholarship Program

该项目的目标是增加来自代表性不足群体的生物学（非医学）、化学、计算机科学、工程学、电气工程技术、环境技术、地球系统和环境科学、数学、物理学和电信技术专业的学生人数，为他们在技术领域的职业生涯做好准备。学生从学院和当地高中的数学和科学课程中招募。智力优势：除了获得经济支持外，S-STEM学生/学者和教师还参加数学、工程、技术和科学（METS）学院，以科学学院和荣誉计划为蓝本，每个学生都被分配一名教师导师。学院赞助会谈，提供辅导，为学生提供有关研究机会的信息，并鼓励他们参加研究丰富研讨会。学生被引导到就业服务的面试和简历写作的研讨会，并转移中心，因为他们接近毕业。更广泛的影响：该计划正在对学生的保留和毕业产生重大影响。它建立在非常成功的CSEMS奖学金计划，支持78名学生，并有91%的留存率。S-STEM计划的成功正在通过四年制大学毕业并转入STEM专业或在技术领域找到工作的学生的百分比进行评估; STEM领域的入学人数增加;以及在学院注册STEM课程的高中生人数。

The goal of this project is to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who are majoring in biology (non-medical), chemistry, computer science, engineering, electrical engineering technology, environmental technology, earth systems and environmental science, mathematics, physics, and telecommunication technology to prepare them for careers in technology fields. Students are being recruited from mathematics and science courses at the college and from local high schools.Intellectual Merit: In addition to receiving financial support, S-STEM student/scholars and faculty participate in the Mathematics, Engineering, Technology, and Science (METS) Academy, modeled on the Science Academy and the Honors Program, in which each student is assigned a faculty mentor. The Academy sponsors talks, offers tutoring, provides students with information about research opportunities, and encourages them to enroll in the Research Enrichment Seminar. Students are directed to Career Services for workshops on interviewing and resume writing and to the Transfer Center as they approach graduation.Broader Impacts: The program is having a major impact on student retention and graduation. It builds on the highly successful CSEMS scholarship program, which supported 78 students and had a 91% retention rate. The success of the S-STEM program is being evaluated by the percentage of students who graduate and transfer to a STEM major at a four-year college or find employment in the technology area; increased enrollment in STEM fields; and the number of high school students who enroll in STEM programs at the college.
