Computing Scholars: A World View

该项目继续在大学成功的S-STEM奖学金计划，通过提供大量的奖学金支持，增加了攻读计算机科学专业的学生人数。该计划特别强调招聘和保留代表性不足的群体，如妇女和西班牙裔，建立在大学已经到位的基础设施上。它还建立在计算机科学系的工作基础上，该系的教师和学生参与了国际会议，实习和交流。该项目将大学的重要学术和经济学生支持与NSF对优秀，经济困难学生的支持相结合。它继续为参与者（以及任何其他想要参与的专业）举办专业发展研讨会，结合了多个时区（TWISTZ）团队合作的各个方面，并解决了计算在全球市场中的作用和力量。智力优势：该项目将专业发展研讨会与每年提供16个8000美元NSF资助的奖学金相结合，这些奖学金将提供给表现出经济需求和良好学术记录的全日制本科计算机科学专业。该研讨会使用国家的最先进的程序和同行的影响，鼓励所有S-STEM学者养成良好的学习习惯，学习如何调查计算机科学的不断进步，并发展批判性思维能力。除了职业咨询，政府还鼓励学者们参与受资助的本科生研究项目，这些项目的团队分布在不同的时区，解决美国以外的需求。S.边境特别令人感兴趣的是与Ethicomp，国际计算伦理社区，以及虚拟现实图尔斯旅游，该部门已经为梵蒂冈博物馆创建的项目。近20年来，该大学一直被《美国新闻与世界报道》评为北方第一的地区性大学。更广泛的影响：该项目通过与大学多元文化事务办公室的联系，正在发展一种可以吸引、培养和支持代表性不足的学生的文化。它包括重要的跨文化方面到计算的世界观为学生。在该项目的过程中，大约20名本科生正在接受财政和学术支持，成为强大的计算机科学毕业生。另外40名学生参加了丰富的研讨会和国际经验。

This project is continuing the successful S-STEM scholarship program at the university that is increasing the number of students pursuing a computer science major by offering substantial scholarship support. The program places special emphasis on recruiting and retaining underrepresented groups such as women and Hispanics, building on the infrastructure already in place at the university. It also builds on the work of the Department of Computing Sciences that has involved faculty members and students in international conferences, internships, and exchanges. The project integrates the significant academic and financial student support at the university with NSF support for outstanding, financially needy students. It continues the professional development seminar for its participants (and any other majors who want to participate), incorporates aspects of Team Work in Several Time Zones (TWISTZ), and addresses the role and power of computing in the global marketplace. Intellectual Merit: The project integrates the professional development seminar with the offering of sixteen $8000 NSF-funded scholarships per year to full-time undergraduate computer science majors who have demonstrated financial need and strong academic records. The seminar uses state-of-the-art programs and peer effects to encourage all S-STEM scholars to develop good study habits, to learn how to survey the ongoing advancement of computer science, and to develop critical thinking skills. In addition to career counseling, scholars are being encouraged to participate in funded undergraduate research projects whose project teams are spread across time zones and address needs beyond the U. S. borders. Of particular interest are projects associated with Ethicomp, the international computing ethics community, and the virtual reality tours that the department has created for the Vatican Museum. The university has been ranked by US News and World Reports as the number one regional university in the North for almost two decades.Broader Impacts: The project is developing a culture that can attract, nurture, and support underrepresented students through its connection with the Multicultural Affairs Office at the university. It includes vital cross-cultural aspects into the world view of computing for students. Over the course of the project, about 20 undergraduates are receiving financial and academic support to become strong computer science graduates. Another 40 students participate in the enrichment seminar and international experiences.
