Tech Scholars Program II

技术学者计划II（TSP-II）正在招募和支持合格的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学生，利用在先前项目中证明有效的策略。有针对性的同行社区建设和支持服务正在提供给收件人，以增加教育机会，增加保留学士学位的成就，并提高就业能力的低收入，学术人才的学生在计算机科学，工程，数学，物理和化学转让方案。智力优势：该项目是利用承诺TSP教师，财政援助和学生服务人员的既定网络。TSP-II学者受益于广泛的学术支持系统，目前可在学院的学习中心，包括免费辅导和下降的数学，科学，写作，阅读，和学习技能的援助。TSP的具体支持服务包括奖学金、广受欢迎的技术学者中心（一个指定的房间，供大家一起闲逛、学习和获得学术帮助）以及每月提供相关学术和职业信息的研讨会。该项目增强了以前的计划，包括额外的专业，增加奖励最高5000美元，并建立专业特定的学习小组，以培养持久的队列，支持学生时，他们超越了大学。更广泛的影响：该项目正在解决增加科学家和工程师数量的需求，因为有强大的社区支持，目标专业的强大转移计划，以及与高中的广泛衔接。该学院为该地区一半以上的高中毕业生提供了进入高等教育的关键入口，他们在毕业后立即选择大学。该项目与新成立的TRIO计划相结合，以加强学院吸引和留住科学技术领域代表性不足的学生的承诺。

The Tech Scholars Program II (TSP-II) is recruiting and supporting qualified science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students utilizing strategies that proved effective in a prior project. Targeted peer community-building and support services are being provided to recipients to increase opportunities for education, increase retention to baccalaureate degree achievement, and improve employability of low-income, academically talented students in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry transfer programs. Intellectual Merit: The project is capitalizing upon an established network of committed TSP faculty, financial aid, and student services personnel. TSP-II scholars benefit from extensive academic support systems currently available in the college's Learning Center, including free tutoring and drop-in Mathematics, Science, Writing, Reading, and Study Skills assistance. TSP-specific support services are scholarships, the popular Tech Scholars Center (a designated room to hang out, study together, and get academic assistance), and monthly seminars providing relevant academic and career information. The project enhances the previous program by including additional majors, increasing award maximums to $5000, and establishing major-specific study groups to foster lasting cohorts that support students when they move beyond the college. Broader Impact: The project is addressing the need to increase the number of scientists and engineers because there is strong community support, robust transfer programs in targeted majors, and extensive articulation with high schools. The college provides a critical entrance into higher education for over half the district's high school graduates who choose college immediately after graduation. This project joins with the newly established TRIO program to strengthen the college's commitment to attract and retain students from groups underrepresented in scientific and technical areas.
