The Michigan STEM Academy Scholars

密歇根大学正在为在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域具有高能力和潜力的学生开发一个综合的、全面的课程和课外支持系统，但由于社会经济阶层、第一代大学身份、种族、性别或高中背景的严格性，这些学生可能无法在竞争激烈的研究型大学中充分发挥成功的潜力。密歇根大学STEM （M-STEM）学院为大约50-60名在工程学院学习一、二年级的学生提供过渡性的学术和社会支持。M-STEM学院建立在有充分记录的成功策略的基础上，由马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校的迈耶霍夫学者项目开发，旨在保持不同学生的学业成功。它在迈耶霍夫模式的基础上进行了扩展，将这些要素转移到大型大学环境中，并与那些虽然很合格，但在这种环境中经常挣扎且没有充分发挥潜力的学生一起工作。它与密歇根大学其他STEM教育管道项目密切合作，如工程多样性和推广中心、密歇根路易斯中风少数民族参与联盟（MI-LSAMP）项目、密歇根研究生教育和教授联盟（MI-AGEP）项目，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。M-STEM学院得到了大学中央和学院管理部门的全力支持，不断努力增加STEM学生的数量和成功，重点是多样化的学生。高等教育和高等教育研究中心的教师对学院的评估为项目实施过程中所需的修改提供了持续的反馈。

The University of Michigan is developing an integrated, holistic curricular and co-curricular support system for students with high ability and potential in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) but who for reasons associated with socioeconomic class, first generation college status, race, gender, or rigor of high school background might not experience their full potential for success at a highly competitive research university. The University of Michigan STEM (M-STEM) Academy provides transitional academic and social support for a selected cohort of approximately 50-60 students during their first and second years in the College of Engineering.The M-STEM Academy is grounded in 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 the Meyerhoff model by transferring the components to a large university setting and working with students who, although-well qualified, have often struggled and not reached their full potential in this environment. It partners closely with other University of Michigan STEM education pipeline efforts such as the Center for Engineering Diversity and Outreach, the Michigan Louis Strokes Alliance for Minority Participation (MI-LSAMP) Program, and the Michigan Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (MI-AGEP) Program to provide a seamless continuum of STEM education and support services from grade school to graduate school and the workplace. The M-STEM Academy is fully supported by the University Central and College administrations in a continual effort to increase the number and success of STEM students, with an emphasis on diverse students. The assessment of the Academy by faculty in the Center for the Study of Higher and Post-Secondary Education provides continual feedback for needed modifications to the program as it is implemented.
