Increasing Access and Diversity in Technology Programs

该项目建立在以前的CSEMS奖学金项目的基础上，将为土木，机械，电子工程，机械制造和微电子专业的全日制学生提供55个为期两年的奖学金，这些学生表现出学术潜力和经济需求。此外，12个为期一年的奖学金将颁发给S-STEM学者谁将在俄勒冈州理工学院（OIT）攻读学士学位。正在作出特别努力，吸引来自代表性不足群体的学术天才学生。该项目正在提高可用于保留和职业安置的学生支助结构的质量和数量。该项目的优势之一是将学者组织成由个性化学习和教师指导等活动支持的群体，利用以前CSEMS项目的经验教训来提高该项目成功的可能性，以及当地行业承诺为学生提供第四年的学习资金转移到OIT以追求学士学位。

This project that builds on a previous CSEMS scholarship project will award 55 two-year scholarships to full-time students in Civil, Mechanical, Electronic Engineering, Machine Manufacturing, and Microelectronics who demonstrate both academic potential and financial need. Additionally, twelve one-year scholarships will be awarded to S-STEM scholars who will pursue a bachelor's degree at Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT). A special effort is being made to attract academically talented students from underrepresented groups. The project is increasing the quality and number of student support structures available for retention and career placement. Among the strengths of the project are the organization of the scholars into cohorts supported by activities such as individualized advisement and faculty mentoring, the use of lessons learned from the previous CSEMS project to improve the probability of success of this project, and local industry committment to fund the fourth year of studies for students transferring to OIT in pursuit of a bachelor's degree.
