The AugSTEM Program: Informing Institutional Collaboration and Change to Prepare Juniors and Seniors for Careers in STEM

奥格斯堡学院的AugSTEM计划：通知院校合作和变革，为三年级和大四学生在STEM领域的职业生涯做好准备项目将扩大AugSTEM学者计划的成功，该计划培养了一批跨学科的STEM高年级学生，有针对性地向社区大学转移。目前的S-STEM项目将吸取的经验教训延伸到对奥格斯堡所有STEM学生的机构支持。该项目将为低收入学生提供20名学者，并将向新转学的学生或通过其他大学入学计划获得AugSTEM学术资格的学生提供10个较小的奖学金。社区大学转学和大学入学计划的校友是参与STEM的潜力很大的群体，但可能不会得到机构环境的最佳支持。该项目将有助于了解如何更好地将这些群体与影响较大的做法联系起来，如本科生研究和实习，其方式可适用于其他机构。两年制院校、四年制院校和劳动力准备计划之间的合作，以支持STEM保留、学生成功和为STEM劳动力做好准备是该计划的特点。由于社区大学转学和大学入学计划校友是具有STEM潜力的群体，可能没有得到机构环境的最佳支持，该项目的目标是探索从制度上可转移的方式，将这些群体与高影响力的实践(如本科研究和实习)联系起来。该项目将以《教育研究和发展共同指导方针》为基础，开发定性和定量证据，为STEM学生提供机构支持，特别是那些有经济需要的学生，包括转学学生或参加大学入学计划的学生。

The AugSTEM Program: Informing Institutional Collaboration and Change to Prepare Juniors and Seniors for Careers in STEM project at Augsburg College will extend the successes of the AugSTEM Scholars program, which developed a cross-disciplinary STEM cohort of upper-level students with targeted outreach to community college transfers. The current S-STEM project extends the lessons learned to institutional supports for all STEM students at Augsburg. This project will support low-income students with a cohort of 20 scholars and will provide 10 smaller scholarships to new transfer students or students who are building their academic eligibility for AugSTEM through other college access programs. Community college transfers and alumni of college access programs are groups with high potential for participating in STEM, but may not be optimally supported by institutional environments. This project will contribute to understanding better ways to connect these groups with high-impact practices such as undergraduate research and internships in ways that could be adapted to other institutions. Collaboration between 2-year institutions, a 4-year institution, and a work force preparedness program to support STEM retention, student success and preparedness for the STEM work force are features of the plan.Because community college transfers and college access program alumni are groups with high STEM potential who may not be optimally supported by institutional environments, the project has goals to explore institutionally transferrable ways to connect these groups with high-impact practices such as undergraduate research and internships. This project will develop qualitative and quantitative evidence grounded in the Common Guidelines for Education Research and Development to inform institutional support for STEM students, particularly those who have financial need, including transfer students or those who participated in a college access program.
