Scholarships for Future Leaders in Electric Energy and Smart Grid

国家科学基金会S-STEM项目为招收和留住电力能源和智能电网应用领域的学生提供奖学金。该项目建立在华盛顿州立大学(WSU)全国领先的电力工程教育和研究项目的基础上。该项目每年提供约19个奖学金名额。目标是将威斯康星州立大学动力工程专业的学生人数增加50%，面向以下群体：学士、硕士、代表人数不足的少数族裔和女性。该计划为西澳州立大学的低年级学生、社区学院学生和四年制大学生提供在西澳州立大学攻读学士和硕士学位的机会。它建立在西弗吉尼亚州立大学现有的支持结构基础上，提供衔接项目、教师和行业导师、导师、学习小组、实习、实地考察和标志性的年度海报活动的机会。该项目得到了华盛顿主要电力公司的大力支持，这些公司提供行业指导和实习机会。本科生和研究生参加由威斯康星州立大学能源系统创新中心教师指导的项目。该项目对华盛顿和太平洋西北地区尤为重要，这些地区的能源部门在全球市场中占有相当大的份额。

This NSF S-STEM program provides scholarships for recruitment and retention of students in the area of electric energy and smart grid applications. The program builds on a nationally leading power engineering education and research program at Washington State University (WSU). This program offers approximately 19 scholarships per year. The objectives are to increase the number of students in power engineering at WSU by 50% for the following groups: Bachelor's, Master's, underrepresented minorities, and women. This program provides opportunities for lower division WSU students, community college students, and four-year university students to study at WSU for Bachelor's and Master's degrees. It builds on existing support structures at WSU to offer opportunities in a bridging program, faculty and industry mentorships, tutors, study groups, internships, field trips, and a hallmark annual poster event. The program is strongly supported by major power companies in Washington that provide industry mentorships and internships opportunities. Undergraduate and graduate students participate in projects supervised by WSU Energy Systems Innovation Center faculty. This project is particularly important for Washington and the Pacific Northwest, where the energy sector has a significant share of the global market.
