S-STEM: Culture and Attitude II

S-STEM文化与态度(C&A；A)II项目的总体目标是在南达科他州矿业与技术学院招收、留住并毕业工程专业的学生。这一目标将通过一项旨在改变校园“文化和态度”的计划来实现，以便为不同的学生群体，特别是女学生，提供更多在工程课程中取得成功的途径。该项目将对旨在支持智力多样性的课程组成部分进行新的调整。该项目还将建立在现有的共同课程活动的基础上，通过培养技术技能、专业发展和个人发展来支持学生的成功和自我效能。每年将有25名学生参加冶金工程、工业工程、机械工程、采矿工程和土木工程等课程。通过培养以女学生为重点的包容环境，该项目将产生若干成果，预计这些成果将产生重大的体制和社会影响。更多的女学生将进入工程学科，从而改善校园的知识多样性；女学生将更多地坚持工程学科，以满足国家对工程学科中女性的重大需求；参与该计划的学生将从事服务和外联，这将影响未来的学生和社区中的年轻女性；该项目将通过利用行业合作在大学和州内产生长期的积极影响，以产生额外的奖学金，并使该计划在资助期结束后可持续；该项目的主要目标是：(1)利用现有资源招收符合项目要求、经济需要和致力于工程工作的有学术天赋的学生；(2)加强现有项目，通过提供支持多样化学习风格、替代体验机会和支持心理社会发展的学习环境，将工程学学生留在积极的环境中；(3)通过强调职业规划和职业多样性的项目，为学生安排适当的就业或继续教育；以及(4)改变课程，以适应更多样化的学习方式，并使该机构参与实施留住妇女和少数群体的最佳做法的挑战。该项目将采用一个强有力的评估计划，衡量学生的类型(赫尔曼大脑优势指数)，并评估人们对智力多样性的态度。此外，评估将检查计划元素对绩效能力感知的影响，这是与持久性相关的关键因素。

The overall goal of S-STEM Culture and Attitude (C&A) II project is to recruit, retain, and graduate engineering students at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. This goal will be met through a program designed to change the 'culture and attitude' of the campus so as to provide more pathways for a diverse group of students, in particular women students, to succeed in an engineering curriculum. The project will introduce new adaptations of curricular components designed to support intellectual diversity. The project will also build on existing co-curricular activities that support student success and self-efficacy by fostering technical skills, professional development, and personal development. A cohort of 25 students each year will be supported in the participating programs - Metallurgical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Civil Engineering. By fostering an environment of inclusion with emphasis on female students, the project will result in several outcomes that are expected to have significant institutional and societal impacts. More women students will enter engineering disciplines, thereby improving the intellectual diversity of the campus; women students will persist in engineering disciplines in greater numbers to fill the significant national need for women in engineering disciplines; students participating in the program will be engaged in service and outreach that will impact future students and young women in the community; the project will have a long-term positive effect within the university and the state by leveraging industrial collaborations to generate additional scholarships and make the program sustainable after the funding period ends; and results of the project will be disseminated to the campus community and a national audience to serve as a model for other programs.The primary objectives for the project are to: (1) leverage existing resources to recruit academically talented students that satisfy program criteria with financial need and a commitment to an engineering career; (2) strengthen existing programs to retain engineering students in a positive climate that promotes academic and professional success by providing a learning environment that supports diverse learning styles, alternative experiential opportunities, and support for psycho-social development; (3) place students in appropriate employment or further education through programs emphasizing career planning and professional diversity; and (4) change the curriculum to adapt to more diverse learning styles and engage the institution in the challenge to implement best practices in retaining women and minorities. The project will employ a robust evaluation plan that will measure student typology (Herrmann Brain Dominance Inventory) and evaluate attitudes towards intellectual diversity. In addition, the assessment will examine the effect of program elements on perception of performance capabilities, which is a key factor related to persistence.
