Project ASK: Applying Student Knowledge for Success in CS and IT

肯恩大学计算机科学系正在实施“ASK项目：运用学生知识在计算机科学（CS）和信息技术（IT）领域取得成功”，旨在增加具有学术天赋但经济困难的计算机科学和信息技术本科毕业生的数量。ASK项目总共支持40名转学生和即将升学的大三学生，他们每人获得两年的奖学金。学者参加每周研讨会，队列体验，并与教师密切互动，教师通过建议和指导提供学术和专业支持。他们通过参加专业学生组织和地方和区域编程竞赛获得领导经验。为ASK学者提供的个人和群体体验为智力成长提供了基础，并促进了学生信心的增强，保留和及时完成学位。毕业后，ASK学者准备进入科学工作队伍或研究生院，成为有能力，训练有素的个人，他们擅长团队合作和研究，为社区成员树立榜样，并为增加CS和IT领域的多样性做出贡献。

The Department of Computer Science at Kean University is implementing "Project ASK: Applying Student Knowledge (ASK) for Success in Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT)," which is aimed at increasing the number of academically talented, financially needy students graduating with undergraduate degrees in CS and IT. Project ASK supports a total of 40 transfer students and rising juniors who each receive two-year scholarships.ASK Scholars participate in weekly workshops, cohort experiences, and interact closely with faculty members who provide academic and professional support through advising and mentoring. They gain leadership experience from participating in professional student organizations and local and regional programming contests. The individual and cohort experiences offered to ASK Scholars provide a basis for intellectual growth and promote increased student confidence, retention, and timely degree completion. Upon graduation, ASK Scholars are prepared to enter the scientific workforce or graduate school as competent, highly trained individuals who are skilled in teamwork and research, serve as role models to members of their communities and contribute to increased diversity in the fields of CS and IT.
