Engaging Engineers in Scholarship (EES) Fellows: A Scholarship Program for Engineering Freshmen and Transfer Students

这个EES计划建立在成功的nsf资助的计算机科学，工程和数学奖学金（cems）计划的基础上。这个学者项目为一年级的工程专业学生和两年制社区学院的新转学生提供财政和学术支持，这些学生在学术上符合要求，但没有满足经济需求，特别考虑到妇女、种族/少数民族和残疾人。EES的基本目标是增加：(1)有经济需要的有才能的学生获得本科工程学位；(2)获得本科工程学位的学生人数不足；(3)工程本科学位学生的留校率和毕业率。EES研究员将有机会获得一套特定的支持计划，称为EES社区，旨在支持和提高他们的学术成功。EES研究员将参加学术咨询和EES研讨会，重点关注专业和学术发展以及职业规划。

This EES Program builds upon the successful NSF-funded Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship (CSEMS) Program. This scholars program provides financial and academic support to first-year engineering students and new transfer students from two year community colleges who are academically qualified and have unmet financial need, with special consideration given to women, racial/ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities. The fundamental objectives of EES are to increase: (1) the number of talented students with financial need earning undergraduate engineering degrees; (2) the number of underrepresented students earning undergraduate engineering degrees; and (3) the retention and graduation rates of students earning undergraduate engineering degrees. EES Fellows will have access to a specific set of support programs, called the EES Community, designed to support and enhance their academic success. EES Fellows will participate in academic advising and EES seminars focusing on professional and academic development and career planning.
