Brockport Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science Scholars Program - Completing Their Degrees (BPMACS Continuation)

布罗克波特物理、数学和计算机科学学者计划-完成学位（BPMACS）每年为纽约州立大学布罗克波特学院物理、数学和计算机科学领域的经济困难、学术有天赋的大三、大四和硕士生提供28个5000美元的奖学金。项目目标是：1)每年在指定领域招收、选拔有才华但经济条件较差的大三、大四和研究生28名，并给予奖学金；2)保留95%的BPMACS获奖者直至毕业并获得学士或硕士学位；3)实现并保持至少10%的少数族裔参与率和50%的女性参与率，在三个学科的队列组中平均。这是通过一系列活动来完成的，包括但不限于：每个BPMACS学者被分配一名导师，顾问委员会的六名教员之一，每名导师有大约五名来自他们学科的BPMACS学者。鼓励BPMACS学者与三个系的教师进行研究项目；该项目从医学和医学科学院行政预算中提供有限的资金，用于支付学生在区域专业会议上发表研究报告的旅费。BPMACS学者是低年级物理，数学和计算机科学（PMACS）大一或大二学生在各自的数学，物理或计算机科学领域的大哥或姐姐。BPMACS利用纽约州立大学布罗克波特分校的招生计划招收不同背景的高质量学生，利用PMACS专注的低级别多元化招生计划，并与招生办公室合作，在三个目标学科中招收额外的低收入，学术上有天赋的转学生。BPMACS学者和教师之间的社区意识是通过学期讲座，社会活动，以及通过校友和外部顾问委员会的演讲，在他们的领域接触工作机会来发展的。该项目通过纽约州立大学布罗克波特学院职业服务办公室、年度招聘会、学术主要教员的联系以及利用现有的学院/行业关系和部门社区咨询委员会的支持，帮助BPMACS学者在他们的领域获得暑期和毕业后的工作。与新成立和资助的罗切斯特地区学院卓越数学和科学中心合作，努力提高各级数学和科学教育的质量，以吸引和留住BPMACS专业的学生。该项目建立在先前成功的S-STEM资助的BMACS项目的基础上，并增加了物理学作为获得奖学金支持的学位领域。

The Brockport Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science Scholars Program - Completing Their Degrees (BPMACS) provides twenty-eight $5000 scholarships per year to economically disadvantaged, academically talented juniors, seniors and masters students in the fields of physics, mathematics and computer science at The College at Brockport, State University of New York. The project's goals are to: 1) recruit, select and award scholarships to 28 talented but economically disadvantaged juniors, seniors and graduate students per year in the designated fields; 2) retain 95% of BPMACS awardees through to graduation with Baccalaureate or Masters degrees; and 3) achieve and then maintain at least 10% minority participation and 50% female participation averaged across the cohort group of the three disciplines.This is accomplished through a set of activities including, but not limited to the following:Each BPMACS scholar is assigned a mentor, one of the six faculty members from the Advisory Board, with each mentor having about five BPMACS scholars from their discipline.BPMACS scholars are encouraged to conduct research projects with faculty in the three departments; the project provides limited funds from the BPMACS administrative budget to cover travel expenses for student research presentations at regional professional meetings.BPMACS scholars act as Big Brothers or Sisters for lower division Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science (PMACS) freshmen or sophomore scholars in their respective mathematics, physics or computer science field.BPMACS utilizes the SUNY Brockport recruitment program to recruit high quality students of diverse backgrounds, leverages the focused lower-division PMACS diversity recruitment program, and works with the Admissions Office to recruit additional low-income, academically talented transfer students in the three targeted disciplines.A sense of community among BPMACS scholars and faculty is developed through semester talks, social events, and exposure to workplace opportunities in their field through alumni and external advisory board presentations.The project assists BPMACS scholars in obtaining summer and post graduation employment in their field, through the support of the SUNY College at Brockport Career Services Office, an annual Job Fair, academic major faculty members' contacts, and the leveraging of existing college/industry ties and departmental community advisory boards.Work with the newly established and funded Rochester Area Colleges Center for Excellence in Math and Science efforts to enhance the quality of mathematics and science education at all levels in order to attract and retain BPMACS students who major in these fields.This project builds upon the previously successful S-STEM funded BMACS program and adds physics as a degree area receiving scholarship support.
