E2S5 Project (Environment, Engineering, Sustainability Science Student Success Scholarships)

E2S5（环境、工程、可持续科学学生成功奖学金）项目旨在鼓励学生取得优异的学业成绩，促进体验式学习和实习机会，以补充学生在格林菲尔德社区学院的科学基础。该项目还将鼓励学生拓展和社区服务，并将为受助人在stem相关领域的职业或继续学习做好准备。E2S5旨在支持学院四个STEM学科的学生，并将体验式学习和实习作为学生的学习成果。该项目将针对四个学科：工程学、环境科学、农业和食品系统以及可再生能源/能源效率。该项目强调招收这些学科的合格学生，并将建立在其他旨在支持STEM学生和提高保留率的大学举措的基础上。E2S5还旨在为学生进入工作场所或继续获得学士学位的机构提供便利。为此，该项目将建立在现有的体验式现场学习和实习机会的基础上，以加深对科学学科的理解，并为就业或转学提供途径。实习将为学生提供最好的体验式学习。他们将为当地企业和机构提供学生的能量和专业知识，并将帮助学生做好准备，对劳动力市场对更多美国科学家和工程师的需求做出反应。该学院将利用S-STEM资助资金在五年内提供102个奖学金。奖学金标准定义明确，具有包容性，可以广泛地覆盖到这些项目中不同的学生群体。资助计划的结构将包括尽可能多的合格学生。一个广泛的学生支持系统，包括建议和指导、辅导和学术支持、体验式学习、实习机会、职业和转学咨询，以及社区建设特别活动，奖学金获得者将有望参加。该项目的目标包括在持久化率方面定义良好且显著的改进。到资助期结束时，计划预计95%的学生将在学士学位授予机构找到与学科相关的工作或转入相关学科。就更广泛的影响而言，该计划将强调整合教学和体验式研究与学习的优先事项，促进多样性，并鼓励有利于社会的科学理解。向外部社区传播成果的主要方式是在特定学科的会议和以学生学习为重点的会议上作报告。在内部，传播将通过向教师介绍专业发展研讨会，重点是学习社区，让学生参与科学，基于问题的学习和同伴领导的团队领导。研究结果将有助于扩大高等教育企业对项目的属性和实践的理解，这些项目成功地为有经济需求的学生提供了学习机会和质量。

The E2S5 (Environment, Engineering, Sustainability Science Student Success Scholarships) Project is aimed at encouraging high academic achievement, promoting experiential learning and internship opportunities that will supplement students' scientific foundation at Greenfield Community College. The program will also encourage student outreach and community service and will prepare recipients for careers or continued studies in STEM-related fields. E2S5 is designed to support students in four STEM disciplines at the college and incorporate experiential learning and internships as student learning outcomes. Four disciplines will be targeted in this project: Engineering, Environmental Science, Farm and Food Systems, and Renewable Energy/Energy Efficiency. The program emphasizes recruitment of qualified students to these disciplines, and will build on other college initiatives designed to support STEM students and increase retention. E2S5 is also designed to facilitate next steps for students to enter the workplace or to continue to baccalaureate granting institutions. Towards this end, the project will build on existing opportunities for experiential site-based learning and internships to deepen science discipline understanding and will provide pathways to jobs or transfer. Internships will provide students with the best possible experiential learning. They will provide local businesses and agencies with student energy and expertise, and will help prepare students to become responsive to the need for more American scientists and engineers in the workforce. The college will use S-STEM grant funds to provide a total of 102 scholarships over a five-year period. Scholarship criteria are well defined and inclusive to reach broadly into the diverse student body that populates these programs. Funding plans will be structured to include as many qualified students as possible. An extensive student support system, including advising and coaching, tutoring and academic support, experiential learning, internship opportunities, career and transfer counseling, and community building special events will be built and scholarship recipients will be expected to participate. Goals of the project include well-defined and significant improvement in persistence rates. By the end of the grant period, the PI expects that 95% of the students will either find discipline-related employment or transfer into a related discipline at a baccalaureate granting institution. In terms of the broader impacts, the program will emphasize the priorities of integrating teaching and experiential research and learning, promoting diversity, and encouraging scientific understanding that benefits society. Dissemination of results to the outside community will primarily be accomplished through presentations at discipline specific conferences and at conferences that focus on student learning. Internally, dissemination will be through presentations to faculty as professional development workshops that focus on learning communities, engaging students in science, problem-based learning, and peer-led team leadership. Findings will help broaden the higher education enterprise's understanding of the attributes and practices of programs that are successful in promoting academic opportunity and quality for students with financial need.
