2010 AUM Seamless Admission Summer Bridge Program for Engineering Students

奥姆拉姆大学工程专业学生无缝入学暑期桥项目是一个潜在的国家模式，它将提供一个友好的校园环境，让参与者沉浸在严谨、鼓励和校园内联系的文化中。对女性的强调将解决工程领域，特别是研究生教育和教授领域妇女人数持续偏低的问题。LSAMP的支持和参与将带来智力和物质资源，以确保成功，并将工程准备的全国对话带入计划设计和实施。通过咨询、成功策略、辅导和指导，学生们将在他们的大学学位课程中站稳脚跟，并获得一笔津贴，这将使他们能够参与并受益于活动，而不是在夏天打工。学生将接触到研究和就业机会，以获得全面的经验。教师们对这个项目有一个清晰而自信的愿景。教师与学生的一对一互动；在广泛的工程领域，其他有经验的专家对教师和学生都很重要。附加价值包括参观当地工程公司和美国太空与火箭中心，这将为学生提供其他方式无法获得的机会。研讨会、讲习班和所需的海报项目拓宽了学生的经验，远远超出了课程。在国家LSAMP杂志上传播的经验教训将与全国观众分享该方案，扩大潜在影响。

The AUM Seamless Admission Summer Bridge program for Engineering Students is a potential national model that will provide a welcoming campus environment and immerse participants in a culture of rigor, encouragement, and connectivity within the campus. The emphasis on females will address the continuing low number of women in engineering fields, particularly in graduate education and the professoriate. LSAMP support and engagement will bring in intellectual and material resources to ensure success and bring the national conversation on engineering preparation into the program design and implementation. Students will gain foothold on their college degree program through the advising, strategies for success, tutoring and mentoring, as well as receive a stipend which will allow them to participate and benefit from the activities instead of working during the summer. Students will be exposed to research and career opportunities for a well rounded experience. The faculty have a clear and confident vision of the program. The one-on-one interaction between faculty and students; and other demonstrated experts in the broad scope of engineering fields is important to both faculty and students. Value added includes the tours of local engineering companies and the US Space and Rocket Center, which will provide access that the students would not otherwise have. The seminars, workshops, and required poster projects broaden the student experience well beyond coursework. The dissemination of lessons learned in the national LSAMP magazine will share the program with a national audience, expanding the potential impact.
