The University of Michigan STEM Academy Scholars

密歇根大学STEM （M-STEM）学院为一年级和二年级的工程本科生提供过渡性学术支持，共同努力增加STEM学生的数量和成功，重点是来自不同背景的学生。M-STEM学院复制了由马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校迈耶霍夫学者项目开发的成功策略，该策略旨在培养不同类型的学生，提高他们的学业成绩。它扩展并测试了迈耶霍夫模型，将其组成部分转移到一个大型的大学环境中，并与那些虽然很合格，但在这种学术环境中经常挣扎而没有成功的学生一起工作。M-STEM与密歇根大学的其他STEM教育管道密切合作，如工程推广和参与办公室、密歇根路易斯中风少数民族参与计划联盟、密歇根研究生教育联盟和教授计划，提供从小学到研究生院和工作场所的无缝连续的STEM教育和支持服务。高等教育和高等教育研究中心的教师对M-STEM学院的评估将提供持续的反馈，以确定所需的项目修改。这个M-STEM学院创建了一个全面的学生学术支持系统，包括STEM领域的奖学金支持，增加了STEM毕业生的数量，成功和多样性，他们将为密歇根州和全国的STEM劳动力做出贡献。

The University of Michigan STEM (M-STEM) Academy provides transitional academic support for first and second year engineering undergraduates in a concerted effort to increase the number and success of STEM students, with an emphasis on students from diverse backgrounds. The M-STEM Academy replicates well-documented success strategies, developed by the Meyerhoff Scholars Program at the University of Maryland Baltimore-County, for the retention and academic success of diverse students. It expands upon and tests the Meyerhoff model by transferring its components to a large university setting and working with students who, although-well qualified, have often struggled and not succeeded in this type of academic environment. M-STEM partners closely with other STEM education pipeline efforts at the University of Michigan, such as the Office of Engineering Outreach and Engagement, the Michigan Louis Strokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program, and the Michigan Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate Program to provide a seamless continuum of STEM education and support services from grade school to graduate school and the workplace. Assessment of the M-STEM Academy by faculty in the Center for the Study of Higher and Post-Secondary Education will provide continual feedback to determine needed program modifications. This M-STEM Academy creates a holistic student academic support system, including scholarship support, in STEM fields, increasing the number, success, and diversity of STEM graduates who will then contribute to the STEM workforce both within the State of Michigan and the nation.
