(S-STEM SSEE) - Scholarship for Success in Engineering Excellence

该项目向有学术天赋和经济困难的学生颁发奖学金，并通过各种结构和计划支持学者。来自代表性不足群体的学生特别受到支持，学生学者被录取在四个工程学科中的一个。在这个城市校园里，超过一半的学生每周工作超过20个小时，奖学金使学生在毕业前能够专注于学业。该奖学金计划建立在校园成功的LSAMP计划的基础上，将支持和指导活动延伸到目标学生的三年级和四年级。该项目采用的方法包括修订工程课程以纳入主动、协作学习、涉及研究人员的导师计划、有针对性的招聘战略、与工程专业人员建立网络的机会以及学习社区基础设施。

This project is awarding scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students and is supporting the scholars through a variety of structures and programs. Students from underrepresented groups are being especially targeted for support and student scholars are enrolled in one of four engineering disciplines. More than half of the current student population on this urban campus works more that 20 hours per week and the scholarships enable students to focus on their studies to graduation. The scholarship program builds on a successful LSAMP program on campus, extending support and mentoring activities into the junior and senior years for targeted students. The methods being employed in the project include a revision of engineering courses to include active, collaborative learning, a mentorship program that involves research faculty, a targeted recruitment strategy, opportunities for networking with engineering professionals, and a learning community infrastructure.
