CMN Initiation Project: Investing in the Future

在建议的项目时间框架内，将实现三个项目目标。对于研究项目策略对STEM学生保留率、毕业率和转学率的影响，五年的预期项目资金至关重要。项目目标如下：1)到2015年9月，将CMN STEM专业学生人数增加50%；2)。到2015年9月，将CMN STEM队列的保留率至少提高25%；3)。到2015年9月，完成两年制多媒体编程学位。项目计划：为了实现这个项目，CMN制定了几个策略。hObjective 1 ?开发和实施桥梁项目：主要活动包括协调桥梁活动，家庭数学和科学之夜，AISES分会发展，校园活动，高中水平的数学和科学竞赛。hObjective 2 ?将文化融入STEM课程：主要活动包括教师培训、课程开发、修订、试点和评估，以及在STEM课程中纳入与文化相关的项目和实地考察。开发和维护STEM资源室：主要活动包括雇用STEM资源演示协调人员，为资源室购买设备和用品，协调研讨会，实践辅导，指导，项目援助，演示和演讲者。在奥奈达校区开发和实施STEM学者项目：主要活动包括在该校区建立项目，实施规定的干预措施，协调队列活动，并为参与提供津贴。XCoordinate STEM课外活动：主要活动包括章节支持，研究和实习的发展和实施，以及学生前往主要研究实验室和国家章节活动。hObjective 3 ?获得多媒体编程学位：主要活动包括课程和课程开发，试听这些课程，必要时进行修改，并完成基本的衔接协议。

There are three project objectives that will be achieved during the proposed project timeframe. Five years of anticipated program funding are essential to research the impact of project strategies on STEM student retention, graduation, and transfer rates. The project objectives are as follows: 1.) By September 2015, to increase the number of students majoring in STEM at CMN by 50%; 2.) By September 2015, to increase the retention rate of CMN¡¦s STEM cohorts by a minimum of 25%; 3.) By September 2015, to develop a two-year Multimedia Programming degree.Project Plans: In order to achieve this project CMN has established several strategies.?hObjective 1?XDevelop and implement bridge program: Main activities include coordinating bridge activities, family math and science nights, AISES chapter development, campus exposure, and high school level math and science competitions.?hObjective 2?XInfuse culture into STEM courses: Key activities include faculty training, development, revision, piloting, and assessment of courses, and incorporation of culturally relevant projects and site visits in STEM courses.?XDevelop and maintain a STEM resource room: Main activities include hiring a STEM resource demonstration coordination, purchasing equipment and supplies for resource room, coordination of workshops, hand-on tutoring, mentoring, project assistance, demonstrations and speakers.?XDevelop and Implment a STEM scholars program at the Oneida campus: Major activities include setting up the program at that campus, implementing prescribed interventions, coordinating cohort activities, and providing stipends for participation.?XCoordinate STEM extracurricular activities: Major activities include chapter support, research and internship development and implementation, and student travel to major research labs and national chapter events.?hObjective 3?XDevelop a Multimedia programming degree: Major activities include curriculum and course development, piloting of those courses, revising as necessary, and working on essential articulation agreements.
