HumanConnect: Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math

俄亥俄州立大学的这个学者项目为有才华的学生提供了在社区生活和学习的机会，因为他们参加了以职业为主题的活动，并利用了精心设计的支持结构。学者们有专门的建议，作为一个队列一起参加第一年的课程，并有许多与主题相关的活动，这些活动有助于他们作为学生的成功和确保就业。这些学者被选中是因为他们希望利用工程人才来改善边缘化人群和服务不足的社区。利用工程对人类产生直接的积极影响通常被称为“人道主义工程”，这个人道主义工程项目正在招收144名学者。该计划有两个主要目标：1)积极影响有经济需求的工程专业学生的保留率和毕业率；2)相对于对照组提高学习成绩。该计划是可持续的，因为它不会创建新的项目、课程或学位要求；它的财政支持将促进一群有经济需要和学术天赋的学生完成学位和职业安置。该项目有三个次要目标：3)在校园内更广泛地融入人道主义工程理念；4)增加多样性；5)培养全面发展的工程师和具有全球思维的问题解决者。

This scholars program at the Ohio State University offers talented students the opportunity to live and study in a community as they participate in career-themed activities and take advantage of carefully-architected support structures. Scholars have specialized advising, attend first year classes together as a cohort and have a host of thematically related activities available that contribute to their success as students and in securing employment. These scholars are selected because of their desire to utilize engineering talent for the betterment of marginalized peoples and underserved communities. Using engineering to obtain direct positive effects on humanity is often called "humanitarian engineering" and this humanitarian engineering program is enrolling 144 scholars. The program has two primary goals: 1) Positively impact retention and graduation rate of engineering students with financial need and 2) Improve academic performance relative to a control group. The program is sustainable in that it will not create new programs, curricula or degree requirements; its financial support will facilitate degree completion and career placement for a group of students who have financial need and are academically talented. The project has three secondary goals 3) Incorporate humanitarian engineering ideas more broadly across campus, 4) Increase diversity, and 5) Develop well-rounded engineers and problem-solvers who are able to think globally.
