The proposal seeks to fund two components: 1) scholarships for qualified CSEMS students, and 2) a colloquium series that will promote closer collaboration among the faculty and students of the three targeted departments while providing specialized instruction that is not usually included in the normal course work. Forty students are anticipated in the CSEMS program with a funded duration of two years. With this NSF award, BSC students who are juniors or seniors in the targeted departments will have the opportunity to receive $1250 scholarships each semester if they are: United States citizens, nationals, or aliens admitted as refugees at the time of the interview, eligible for U.S. Department of Education Pell Grant, full-time students, and academically mature and talented. The most academically mature and talented students will be selected for the scholarships who have demonstrated many of the following professional attributes: good grades in all classes, demonstrated ability to manage time and resources, good communication skills, leadership potential, and high motivation. In keeping with the stated philosophy of the college, students may have diverse backgrounds and career goals. The student-selection process will use a numerical procedure that the Mathematics department has effectively used for years to select new faculty. This process of selecting the most qualified CSEMS students will involve an interview that results in a numerical rating from each member of the selection team. The four faculty who developed this proposal also commit to the success of the program. After selecting the best students, the four faculty will create a monthly colloquium series for the students of the targeted departments. The colloquium series will consist of problem-solving demonstrations, not from the individual perspective of each of the targeted disciplines, but simultaneously from all three. This coordination between the three departments is expected to increase articulation between the faculty and simultaneously provide students with a better understanding and appreciation of the issues in real technical problems. Some of the presentations will contain information that will be especially beneficial to the CSEMS students. The principal investigator (PI) will assume leadership of the CSEMS program by insuring that CSEMS recipients all have the required qualifications. The PI will also coordinate the colloquium series to insure that the program is a success. The PI will assume overall responsibility for the program administration, including the required NSF reports and the final report to be presented at a national conference. A small amount of money will be used for student infra-structure - primarily for the colloquium series. The project management and administrative expenses will be used primarily for travel - bringing guest speakers to campus and going to a national conference to present the results of the CSEMS program at Buffalo State College. The PI and Co-PIs will not receive any money for CSEMS activities. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987005 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Engineering Excellence Awards for Low-Income Minority Students Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9987005 Award Number: 9987005 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Elizabeth Teles DUE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION EHR DIRECT FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Start Date : March 1, 2000 Expires : February 28, 2002 (Estimated) Expected Total Amt. : $199100 (Estimated) Investigator: Raul E.

It is characterized by a productive track record of awarding baccalaureate degrees in SEM disciplines as evidenced by, on the average, 200 science and math degrees and more than 650 engineering degrees per year during the last five years. The Campus enrolls students with high academic credentials coming from both public and private schools, and from all economic levels. The primary goal of the 'Engineering Excellence Awards' is to enhance the educational opportunities for low-income, academically talented students through scholarships. This project is improving education for students in engineering, increasing retention of students, improving professional development and motivating participating students to pursue graduate studies, and strengthening partnerships between UPRM and related employment sectors. This goal is being achieved by (i) providing funds to selected students so that they can enroll and maintain full-time student status; (ii) requiring selected students to become tutors in gatekeeper courses, to participate in team-oriented design projects, or undergraduate research; (iii) creating a mentoring process to help selected students enhance their study skills necessary for academic achievement in engineering so that they may become more independent and better prepared to meet the UPRM's academic standards and also successfully attain their long-term educational goals. These activities are advancing students' discovery and understanding; promoting teaching, training, and learning; motivating students to pursue advanced engineering degrees; and broadening the participation of low-income, talented minority students in engineering. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987003 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : NSF Scholars Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9987003 Award Number: 9987003 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Jane C.

While the applications are to be open to all who seek the support, special mailings and contact is to be made to all upper-division Latino, African American, and Native American students in the designated majors, encouraging them to apply. The university is a large, urban, Hispanic-serving, polytechnic university with a diverse population of largely first-generation college students. The pool of economically disadvantaged under-represented students in engineering, engineering technology, computer science, and mathematics is large. The well-established, comprehensive retention programs for Latinos, African Americans, and Native Americans serve to provide the advising, mentoring, tracking, and professional development support so necessary to shorten the time to graduation for the scholarship recipients. The active collaboration among program staff and faculty in the two colleges provides a comprehensive support system for the scholars. Through this scholarship program, the recipients have an incentive to become more efficient in their course scheduling and they are given timely advising to make wise choices in structuring their remaining course work. The active involvement of industry partners in resume critiques, mock interviews, an "evening with industry," and a scholars reception all serve to increase their job readiness. The NSF Scholars receive first consideration for summer job placement from the campus' industry partners. Thus the NSF Scholars Program increases the likelihood that financially needy students decrease their hours worked while in school, that they have closer contact with their academic advisors, and that they have increased interaction with high tech employers. Therefore, the program should greatly increase the likelihood that highly qualified CSEM students graduate in a timely fashion and exit college ready to assume positions of responsibility in industry. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986993 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9986993 Award Number: 9986993 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

The program has two goals: 1) To provide educational opportunities to low-income academically talented students through scholarships that promote full-time enrollment and degree achievement 2) To increase the number of women, under-represented minorities, and persons with disabilities completing a baccalaureate degree In support of these goals, students are selected on the basis of financial need, academic merit, and ability to complete a degree within two years. Preference criteria related to gender, ethnicity, and disability status are applied, and educational level is a consideration. The emphasis on undergraduate students grows from the conviction that many university graduates are well prepared to go on to advanced degrees and to excel in leadership positions in academia and in industry, if, early in their education, they experience support to internalize this aspiration and to build confidence in their own abilities to succeed. The university mission focuses on high quality educational programs and the promotion of diversity. These strengths can be applied to help address the national problem of under representation of women, minorities, and students with disabilities among computer science, engineering, and mathematics degree recipients. The CSEM Scholarship Program benefits from the many campus services and activities that promote cultural sensitivity and support minority students. Students selected for the program receive a high degree of personal attention and undergo individualized application oriented experiences. They are given high priority for partial tuition waivers to supplement support available through NSF funding. Program success is guaged on quantifiable outcomes: degree completion, post-graduation placement in either graduate school or employment. Evaluation also examines the effectiveness of recruitment efforts and program components such as support networks and special activities. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986986 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9986986 Award Number: 9986986 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Andrew P.

Undergraduate or graduate students who have a chance to complete their degree in two years are being selected from a pool of eligible students at the university or at four "feeder" community colleges in middle Tennessee. Students enter the program at the end of their sophomore year and participate in a two-year program designed to graduate highly competent, competitive professionals. To achieve this goal, faculty are stressing academic excellence with high standards and realistic expectations of participants whose needs are assessed at admission and continuously monitored and met throughout the program. Students are involved in disciplined inquiry and research under the direction of faculty mentors, and they spend one day a semester in the work environment of the corporate world or a graduate school depending on their goals. In addition to academic counseling and guidance, CSEMS students are receiving career, financial aid, and personal counseling as needed, and assistance in such critical areas as writing, study skills, tutoring, preparation for exit exams and the GRE, resume writing, job interviewing, and selecting a graduate school. The project expects to increase the number of graduates with degrees in computer science, engineering technology, and mathematics to help meet the country's shortage of technical professionals in areas of national need. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986979 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Scholarships for Math and Engineering Students Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9986979 Award Number: 9986979 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Jane C.

Scholarships will be awarded on a semester-by-semester basis to each student who qualifies (or re-qualifies). Initially, both juniors and seniors would be eligible. In the years following the first year of operation, rising juniors would replace the seniors who graduated the previous year. This program will enable the department to: * Recruit more and better qualified students into our majors. Currently the department cannot offer any assistance to promising students. If the department can assure them that once they have shown that they can handle the material in the introductory courses the department can guarantee that finances will not hinder them in completing their degree requirements, the department is convinced that many will take advantage of this opportunity. * Retain good students. Perilous financial situations are a major reason why many of our majors do not complete our program. Over the years, the department has seen many a promising student stop out, stop in, stop out, etc., and never finish. The department has "lost" good students to colleges and universities which are able to offer scholarships. * * Enable our students to become more competitive. Since most of our students have heavy work or athletic commitments, they don't have as much time to devote to their studies as they need to achieve excellence. The department will require that scholarship recipients commit outside-of-class work equal to twice the number of their math/computer science credit hours. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986923 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9986923 Award Number: 9986923 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Roger E.

Sargeant Reynolds Community College (JSRCC), is conducting a National Science Foundation CSEM Scholars Program. Forty NSF CSEM (Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics) Scholars are selected based on need (Pell Grant eligible) and their potential to complete their undergraduate degree within two years through full-time enrollment. As urban institutions both VCU and JSRCC, its primary feeder community college, serve a large population of part-time students including large percentages of racial minorities and women. During the 1998-99 academic year, over 295 students who were enrolled in CSEM degree programs at VCU received Pell grants. Due to work constraints, two-thirds of these students were unable to carry a 30 hour annual load which would lead to graduation in the normal four year period; 29% were unable to carry 25 credit loads annually; and 19% could not carry 20 credits. Through the support of the NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholars program, the project goal is to significantly increase the number of students in this pool who can complete their undergraduate degree programs in a normal time frame for full-time students. Successful applicants are recognized as NSF Scholars at an awards ceremony and receive $2500 scholarships. The NSF CSEM Scholars prepare an Individualized Contract under the guidance of a specially designated advisor who works with the Scholars to maximize the effectiveness of the existing university support programs in the following areas: (1) financial aid planning, including securing additional scholarships and aid, (2) academic program planning, academic achievement progress and supplemental tutoring and assistance, and (3) career planning through a selected in-field experience such as co-op or internship programs augmented by career day interactions with working professionals. The success of this project is monitored by an evaluator working through the Metropolitan Educational Research Consortium (MERC). The evaluation program provides the formative guidance needed to maximize on-going effectiveness as well as the summative conclusions necessary to validate the program model. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986897 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9986897 Award Number: 9986897 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Andrew P.

College faculty and Alumni Relations Office will work with local high school counselors to identify potential candidates who are incoming students and full-time students attending computer science, computer technology, engineering, engineering technology or mathematics courses (CSEMS). Candidates will be drawn from among the incoming freshman, currently enrolled students, and graduates from certificate programs. Outreach, recruitment, and selection activities will be timed so that students receive announcements of their financial award prior to the start of the semester. The Office of Student Financial Assistance with work with the Office of Enrollment Management to develop a candidate pool of potential scholarship recipients. A team composed of the Dean of Mathematics and Technologies (PI), the Dean of Students (co-PI) and three faculty chairs from CSEMS disciplines will form the Selection Committee and will interview the candidates from the recommended list. Final selection will be based on a consensus of the 30 candidates who can receive maximum benefit from an NSF scholarship award. The Selection Committee will consider such factors as commitment to a career in the CSEMS field, academic ability, barriers affecting educational progress, and the potential to enhance diversity (to the extent permitted by law) within the CSEMS field. Institutional cooperation will help to promote student satisfaction and foster academic excellence and retention. Student development faculty will work closely with students to help with educational and career planning, and other issues affecting personal and academic goals. In addition to making full use of the College's programs, services and personnel, students will benefit from participation in a "Student Success Club," on-campus work experience as tutors of other CSEMS students, transfer assistance, and the close ties the College has with local business and industry. CSEMS faculty will help students learn to apply classroom knowledge in the workplace setting through internship opportunities.. This project, entitled NSF Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Related Technologies Scholarship Program, will enhance institutional efforts to make higher education accessible to all. Because nearly half of the nation's college students are enrolled in community colleges, and many attend part-time so that they can work to pay for their education, the financial assistance available through this project can have a significant effect on student retention, graduation and transfer rates. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986890 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Integrating Academic Support and Scholarships Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9986890 Award Number: 9986890 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

First of all, the CSEMS scholarship program allows the student to focus more on their educational environment. Secondly, this environment will be greatly improved by the active participation of the PIs. Students will be connected to the career/advising/mentoring services of this university through their designated CSEMS scholarship advisors. Each one of the five PIs on this grant will work with a small group of scholarship recipients to ensure that the students are making progress towards their career goals and that they are taking advantage of the career services that are already in place. Students who are completing their degrees are at a point of transition and the PIs recognize the importance of providing timely information to the students to aid them in making important decisions. The PIs will work with the students to investigate career options, including placement into graduate or professional schools or entering the workforce. The University of Arizona is much more than simply a Research I university. It has shown itself to be vitally interested in undergraduate and graduate education. The CSEMS scholars, working with their assigned PI, will be able to take advantage of the research experience of the faculty to increase their career goals. The many educational opportunities will further enhance their experience and prepare them for an exciting technological career. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986857 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Research Apprenticeship, Community Service and Academic Enhancement Training for LSU Engineering and Mathematics Students Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9986857 Award Number: 9986857 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Andrew P.

This is being achieved through a student/faculty partnership, with a comprehensive monitoring system, under the sponsorship of the NSF/CSEMS program. About one-fifth of the undergraduate students attending the university during the Fall-1998 (5,537 of 24,773) were eligible to receive a Pell Grant. The objectives of this project are: (1) to improve the education of students in engineering and mathematics, (2) to increase the retention of students to degree attainment, (3) to increase the number of undergraduates, including minorities and women, receiving baccalaureate degrees in engineering and mathematics, as well as master's degrees in mathematics; (4) to improve the professional development and employment and further higher education placement of participating students, and (5) to strengthen partnerships between institutions of higher education and related employment sectors. The students that are selected will benefit by joining the academic enhancement activities of two unique ongoing NSF/REU programs. The CSEMS scholars will not be required to conduct research but will be offered the opportunity to do so. This project is resulting in students being well-prepared and technically competent engineers and mathematicians. The 32 students selected each year will participate in research projects of their choice in engineering or mathematics. About half of the 32 students selected CSEMS are minorities and/or and women. The students are co-advised by academic mentors.. The engineering students are juniors and seniors, and the mathematics students are a mix of undergraduate and graduate students. About 25% (4-8) of the students are from the mathematics and experimental statistics departments. Moreover, the addition of graduate students to current projects provides first-hand insight to the undergraduate about graduate studies. Since mathematics is one of the building blocks for engineers, closer interaction between students and faculty increases the levels of understanding for both. This project expands the learning community and provides an exciting way to enhance students' academic, social and personal success at the university. The investigators believe that this educational program is a successful national model to assist students in gaining the educational skills needed for industry and graduate studies through various sponsored activities including: 1) Retention, 2) Professional Development, 3) Graduate School, and 4) Dissemination. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986810 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9986810 Award Number: 9986810 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Andrew P.

The objectives are to (1) increase the number of low-income students obtaining undergraduate degrees in computer science, engineering, and mathematics, (2) improve professional development and career choice opportunities of participating students, and (3) strengthen partnerships between the university and corporations employing graduates in relevant fields. This project offers the incentive of financial support for student costs of attendance at the university for two years (four semesters), plus individual attention leading to graduation and ultimately to successful employment. The university is awarding NSF-funded scholarships of $2,500 per academic year to ten low-income undergraduate students majoring in computer science, engineering or mathematics. The scholarship program prepares participants for graduation within two years of entry into the program. The NSF CSEMS Scholarship program offers much more than financial assistance for low-income students. The program provides assistance in academic efforts, research opportunities, career opportunities and on-going personalized monitoring. Program activities include individual and group meetings with the PI, site visits to local corporations, workshops, senior research projects with a mentor and/or external sponsor, and study sessions to prepare engineering majors for the Tennessee State Engineer Intern Examination. An Early Warning System is in place to notify the PI of potential academic or personal problems. Personal counseling, tutors and the math lab are available for students on an as-needed basis. The principal investigator, oversees the program administration and implementation. A scholarship selection committee selects the scholarship recipients. Criteria for selection includes eligibility for a Pell Grant, good academic standing, a junior standing in the fall semester of academic year 2000/2001, and a recommendation from their faculty advisor. Recipients must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, refugee aliens or permanent resident aliens. The P.I. establishes a framework to follow NSF CSEMS scholarship recipients through the two academic years of the project and beyond. A Scholarship Team, led by the P.I., implements program activities and reviews the progress of participants. The Scholarship Team is composed of the Principal Investigator, the Dean of Academic Services, the Director of Institutional Effectiveness and two faculty members representing the School of Engineering and the School of Science. The Scholarship Team evaluates the program based on academic achievement, retention to graduation, number and percentage passing license examinations, and employment upon graduation. The PI, the Institutional Effectiveness Office, and the Career Center staff follow-up on the NSF CSEMS scholarship recipients after graduation. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986747 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science and Mathematics Scholarship Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a9986747 Award Number: 9986747 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Andrew P.

The program academic support infrastructure includes: peer and faculty mentors; undergraduate research programs; three monthly meetings of scholars each semester (where students learn about careers, graduate education, resume writing and interviewing skills); a list-serve for communication among scholars; an introductory social event (funded by the department) for scholars, peer and faculty mentors, and Industrial Advisory Committee participants; announcement of scholars' names to our student e-mail mailing lists, alumni newsletter, and hometown newspaper; and award of a certificate. Scholars are referred to tutors and/or workshops on study skills if departmental tracking indicates they need these services. The five outcomes expected from the project are: (1) improved education for scholars through activities of the academic support infrastructure; (2) increased retention of students to degree achievement; (3) improved professional development and employment or pursuit of graduate education of participants, through the activities of the academic support infrastructure and with the assistance of the department's Industrial Advisory Committee members and the university's Career Services Center; (4) strengthened relationships between the department and related employment sectors, through the assistance and cooperation of the Industrial Advisory Committee in this project; and (5) discovery of effective techniques for retaining students in computer science and mathematics, particularly under-represented populations, leading to department-wide improvement of teaching and support programs and increased diversity. Five types of data are collected to evaluate the outcomes listed above. Appropriate statistical tests for the significance of results are performed. 1. Questionnaires filled out by participants evaluate the effectiveness and usefulness of all academic infrastructure activities. These data allow the evaluation of improved education, increased retention, professional development, and effective intervention techniques for under-represented groups. The results are used both to improve the activities and to evaluate their effectiveness overall. 2. Participation in undergraduate research programs by scholarship recipients are tracked to discern increases. These data allow the evaluation of improved education. 3. Student retention in the program is measured (as drop rates) pre- and post-intervention through academic support infrastructure activities to evaluate changes in retention. 4. Graduates are tracked to determine employment and/or engagement in further higher education. 5.

The departments are: Computer Science and Information Systems; Physics and Engineering Physics; Industrial and Engineering Technology; and Mathematics and Statistics. Each department is successful in producing well-educated graduates and placement trends are exceptional. However, each department desires to increase the number of incoming students into their programs, and to retain those students until they have earned their respective degrees. The vast majority of departmental and institutional scholarship monies are used as recruiting incentives and are earmarked for incoming freshmen in the baccalaureate programs. Scholarship support is lacking and desperately needed for students pursuing associate degrees, graduate degrees, and upper level students who are deserving but find themselves in financial hardship in finishing their programs of study. All the departments listed above report a high percentage of upper-level students who enroll in full-time study, yet work a significant number of hours at off-campus employment in order to pay for their education. This financial pressure leads to more time away from study, which often causes poor academic performance, subsequently leading to frustration, discouragement, and often the abandonment of the student's academic pursuits. This project establishes a scholarship program for deserving students who have a demonstrated financial need. Using an innovative approach to publicizing the availability of these funds, faculty "Road Scholar" teams visit regional high schools and community colleges in order to increase the visibility of the university's technical degree programs. Thus the project addresses both the recruitment and the retention issues which are prominent in science, math, and engineering curricula. The economic conditions extant in the region make this program particularly beneficial to regional students. The resulting increases in the number of graduates with technical degrees promotes a well-educated, technically-prepared workforce which supports ongoing state efforts in economic development. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 122767 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Enhanced Mathematics, Computer, and Engineering Technology Scholarship (EMCETS) Project Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a0122767 Award Number: 0122767 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Ibrahim H.

Significant advances in technologically- oriented industries have created new infrastructure for both business and social interaction while transforming the way we live, learn and work on a day- to- day basis. These advances will continue to have a profound impact on the supply and demand for skilled labor in the new millennium. Indeed, approximately 50% of all jobs in the United States are expected to be either in or closely related to information technology (IT) and telecommunications products and services, by the year 2006. Consistent with the demographic composition of the surrounding community, our campus serves a non- traditional, ethnically diverse student body. This project enables low- income, minority and/or female students who meet established academic criteria to obtain Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degrees in computer science, mathematics or engineering. These students are eligible for transfer to an upper- division school or to enter the workforce directly in their chosen field. Thus, the goals of this project include: (1) Increasing the number of low- income, minority and/ or female students obtaining degrees in computer science, mathematics and engineering; (2) improving the overall quality of education for all students majoring in computer science, engineering and mathematics and; (3) enhancing the professional development and career choice opportunities of participating students. Over the two- year project period, scholarships are being distributed to students in computer science, engineering and mathematics. Measurable criteria including grade point averages, retention rates and graduation rates are utilized to determine the degree of academic achievement, retention and professional development/ graduation among scholarship recipients versus non- recipients. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 95184 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : NSF Scholars Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a0095184 Award Number: 0095184 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Elizabeth Teles DUE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION EHR DIRECT FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Start Date : January 1, 2001 Expires : December 31, 2002 (Estimated) Expected Total Amt. : $270000 (Estimated) Investigator: Raghupathy Bollini rbollini@bcc.edu (Principal Investigator current) Anne Edwards (Co-Principal Investigator current) Sponsor : Burlington County College Pemberton Browns Mills Rd Pemberton, NJ 08068 609/894-9311 NSF Program : 1536 CSEMS--CS, ENG & MATH SCHOLAR Fld Applictn: 0000099 Other Applications NEC Abstract : This project is designed to recruit talented students with limited financial resources, to offer support and programs to help these students complete their degrees in a timely manner, and to encourage the students to continue to employment or a higher degree.

The overall goal for this program is the successful attainment of a degree and subsequent employment in the degree field, or transfer to a four- year institution to obtain a baccalaureate degree in the chosen field. The college is developing a pool of program applicants through a recruitment process directed primarily at high schools. Particularly encouraged to apply are individuals from groups underrepresented in these disciplines (minorities, women, and the disabled). This recruitment process solicits the assistance of teachers at the high schools, and involves informational seminars for interested students. Applications are being reviewed and rated by a College Selection Committee composed of faculty from the program disciplines involved, using criteria developed specifically for this program by the College. The college is providing retention and support services for participating students. These services include required attendance at two group meetings each semester. The initial meeting is an orientation meeting to review continuing eligibility requirements, clarify scholarship disbursement processes, and to orient participants to services available (counseling, tutoring, mentoring, and faculty- student conferences). The second meeting occurs at mid- semester to identify academic problems and secure participant feed- back on general or program specific problems. These meetings also serve to encourage mutual support among this student group. Implementation of this program provides career opportunities for program participants and also increases the numbers of underrepresented individuals in the targeted professions. Further, as the community moves from a minimum- wage manufacturing based economy to a higher wage technology based economy, this program contributes to the technologically skilled employee pool that is needed. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 94918 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a0094918 Award Number: 0094918 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Roger E.

Central Appalachia needs computer scientists, engineers and mathematicians, but most of the colleges graduate only a small number of students in these areas. This projects provides forty scholarships a year for two years to qualified third or fourth year students from the Appalachian area attending one of 31 ACA schools. Awarding these scholarships through the ACA office allows small schools to take advantage of the National Science Foundation initiative even if they have only one or two students interested in these programs and allows the schools to provide a support structure for the students that may not be available on an individual campus. Scholarship recipients are invited to the fall meeting of ACA Academic Deans. Here they have the opportunity to interact with fellow students and to meet graduate school deans and industry leaders. The presence of the scholarships encourages more students to consider majoring in these areas and the support structure provided for the recipients supports their success in their academic programs while in college, and success in jobs or further education. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 94500 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 23, 2001 File : a0094500 Award Number: 0094500 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Elizabeth Teles DUE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION EHR DIRECT FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Start Date : January 15, 2001 Expires : December 31, 2002 (Estimated) Expected Total Amt. : $198000 (Estimated) Investigator: Gary C.

Many of these students (about 40% qualify for Pell Grant) have financial problems, which forces them to try to work full time and go to school full time. This affects the retention rate, graduation rate, and also affects the major that they pick. The number of mathematics and mathematics teaching majors has been very low now for many years. As a result of this there is a shortage of secondary teachers of mathematics in the state of Kentucky and especially in this region. The forty scholarships are helping to solve many of the problems in attracting, retaining, and graduating academically talented students in computer science and mathematical sciences.

The college is focusing on low-income, first time students who are not necessarily college directed or oriented but who have the talent to succeed in technical programs based in computer science and engineering technologies. The project is providing the opportunity for financial assistance to students in the West Texas region, an area marked by vast distances between metropolitan areas, and a large percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The program combines scholarship assistance with student services designed to promote (1) success in college, (2) success in obtaining employment commensurate with their education, and (3) success in the workplace. The Technology Tomorrow Scholarship Program objectives are: 1. To increase the number of students enrolling in technical programs in the computer science and engineering technologies by 5%. 2. To increase the number of women and minorities enrolling in technical programs in the computer science and engineering technologies by 3%. 3. To provide financial assistance to financially needy students with the ability and drive to succeed in the computer science and engineering technologies. 4. To retain at least 75% of students awarded NSF scholarship to graduation. The Principal Investigator has extensive experience both as an instructor and as an administrator. His experience coordinating grant programs, including services to economically disadvantaged students, and his role as Director of Institutional Planning and Research and Associate Dean of Instruction give him the experience to plan, administer and report on this project. A team of Program Chairs in the programs designated for the project, Financial Aid Advisors and Admissions Advisors join with the PI to identify and select scholarship recipients. The Financial Aid and Business Offices provide current information on the recipients and on the disbursement of funds for regular reports to the National Science Foundation. The college is coordinating financial aid such as the Pell Grant and additional scholarships from industry, civic organizations and individuals with the TT/NSF scholarship program to optimize the number of students who are receiving scholarships. The project is evaluated by team members and reviewed by the PI on a biweekly basis to determine whether scholarship students are progressing as expected. Information on the scholarship program is disseminated in print, in workshops and through the college web site. The college anticipates that over two years at least 33 students will be awarded scholarships using grant funds in the total amount of $125,000. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987024 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 20, 2001 File : a9987024 Award Number: 9987024 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

The AMC-NSF Career Scholarships in Engineering and Computer Science expects to graduate 15 community college students with an associate's degree and 25 CSU students with a bachelor's degree in engineering, engineering technology, or computer science. Recruitment efforts are particularly seeking to increase the numbers of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities in the targeted majors above. All scholarship recipients participate in an application-oriented work experience at CSU's Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC) for 20 hours a week during the academic year and 40 hours during the summer. One of the unique features of the AMC experience is the cross-disciplinary, full-cycle nature of the industrial projects it sponsors. Industrial companies come to the AMC with real problems and faculty, staff, and students work together to create solutions for those problems. Students learn manufacturing and technological engineering from conception of an idea to completion of a product or process. The quality of work produced by the AMC students leads to 100% of AMC students receiving job offers. Several features of this scholarship program stand out. First, by including area community colleges as partners, students who may stop at the associate degree level are encouraged to finish their studies at a four-year institution. Second, the part-time CSU students recruited gain the incentive to enroll full-time, thus improving retention and time-to-graduation rates. Third, the NSF grant of $2,500 results in a financial package of up to $15,400 for transfer students and part-time students with financial need; this is a very high rate of return on the federal investment. Finally, participation in an internship as a requirement of scholarship acceptance is a new practice at CSU, and has the potential to encompass other CSU scholarship programs. Cleveland-area manufacturers are also gaining access to highly qualified graduates with technical and managerial skills learned through the Advanced Manufacturing Center internship. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987019 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : CSEMS Scholars at New York City Technical College Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 20, 2001 File : a9987019 Award Number: 9987019 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

The purposes of the New York City Tech CSEMS Program are to: (1) promote full-time enrollment among students in computer science, engineering and mathematics; (2) improve retention of scholarship recipients toward completion of their associate or baccalaureate degrees; (3) strengthen the quality of education offered these talented, low-income students; and (4) expand relationships among other CUNY institutions and technology industries in the region. New York City Tech is one the nation's largest two-tiered technical colleges-offering both associate and baccalaureate degrees, including three baccalaureate degree programs in fields related to this NSF initiative. City Tech will recruit talented, low-income students from New York City high schools, among City Tech associate degree graduates and other students choosing to enter its four-year baccalaureate programs. New York City Technical College has a total student enrollment of 11,400. More than 70 percent of the student body (or 8,500 students) is comprised of persons who have been historically under-served and under-represented in higher education and in mathematics, science and engineering. Almost all of these under-represented students also require financial aid to attend the College. African-American students comprise 46 percent of the college student population. Hispanic students account for 28 percent of the City Tech student population. A total of 67% of the City Tech student body have self-reported household incomes from under $10,000 to $29,999. Talented low-income students work part-time or full-time in order to attend City Tech. Too often, our talented students take jobs in technology industries prior to graduation. Scholarships will produce both additional funds, and will give CSEMS recipients greater opportunities for mentoring, research and consistent study. Project Principal Investigators will include faculty from computer science, engineering technology, and mathematics as well as deans of undergraduate research, science and technology and the vice president for enrollment management. This leadership team will coordinate City Tech's CSEMS recruitment and selection processes, will identify other faculty members as mentors and research advisors. Two selection committees-one for entering freshmen and a second for associate degree graduates-will consist of discipline faculty and student counselors. The CSEMS Program will integrate its activities with the CUNY NSF AMP (Alliance for Minority Participation) Program, other research opportunities and industry internship and career exposure programs. Group and peer mentoring activities will help to stimulate scholarship recipients. Each CSEMS recipient will work with a faculty mentor and student counselor over the two-year grant period. The College will evaluate the NSF CSEMS Program in terms of student academic success and progress toward degree, extent of involvement by College discipline faculty and business and industry and number of recipients continuing their postsecondary education and obtaining employment in science and technology fields. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987014 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : CSEMS Scholarship Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 20, 2001 File : a9987014 Award Number: 9987014 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Elizabeth Teles DUE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION EHR DIRECT FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Start Date : March 1, 2000 Expires : February 28, 2002 (Estimated) Expected Total Amt. : $220000 (Estimated) Investigator: Ruth Ann Cade RuthAnn.Cade@usm.edu (Principal Investigator current) Doris a.

Low income, academically bright undergraduate students are being selected from computer science, mathematics, and seven engineering technology programs. Graduate students are being chosen from master's level programs in engineering technology, computer science and mathematics. The program is partnering with three existing programs, the Alliance for Minority Participation, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and TRIO and Ronald McNair Programs sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. The existing programs have many of the same objectives as the CSEMS Program, providing academic and financial support for different student populations. Still, there are many students who meet CSEMS Program criteria who are not eligible to participate. This program is enabling the university to include all undergraduate students in engineering technology, mathematics, and computer science who meet CSEMS criteria. The objectives of the proposed program are directly related to the CSEMS Program purpose of enabling low income students to complete baccalaureate and graduate degrees in academic areas of high priority. CSEMS Scholarship recipients are sharing facilities and participating in academic enrichment activities already in place to support the three ongoing programs. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 94593 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Scholars Program: A Game Plan for Appalachian Student Success Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 20, 2001 File : a0094593 Award Number: 0094593 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Roger E.

Jackson State, a state-supported, public two-year college, serves the substantially rural fourteen-county area of West Tennessee. Two of these counties are majority African-American with a growing Hispanic population. Due to its location in a predominantly low-income, rural area, many potential students require substantial amounts of financial aid in order to attend college on a full-time basis. At this time, Jackson State has no endowment to support student scholarships. Furthermore, some students are reticent to apply for financial aid. Thus, this scholarship program funded by the National Science Foundation is improving the perceived image of financial aid and encouraging more students to apply. College leaders are using an enhanced, systematic and professional program of public information and recruitment to result in forty eligible, full-time students for the three programs involved. The program is supporting students to successful completion of the two-year degree programs. These support services include: informational recruiting sessions that outline the programs and provide realistic expectations for prospects; cohort selection and organization that enhance the social and intellectual experiences of students; careful selection of classes to ensure progress toward the degree; ongoing support services such as tutoring, special feedback groups, field trips, case-based learning in professional classes, and assignment of a faculty mentor. Jackson State's technology programs have been structured to offer students a professional experience in both engineering and in computer technology along with incorporated workplace values and communication skills that are presented concurrently throughout the program. University parallel courses are preparing students for success at the receiving institution, where students perform as well as native students. The college provides job placement and career guidance to its students, and it maintains close articulation agreements with local and state four-year universities. Scholarship students who participate in this program are being given careful attention and support throughout their career at Jackson State and beyond to the transfer institution or the workplace. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987287 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : NSF-CSEM Scholarship Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987287 Award Number: 9987287 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Jane C.

There are limited institutional scholarships available and even very talented students find themselves having a difficult time meeting both the demands of school and the demands of work and family. The project provides scholarships to US citizens with demonstrated financial need, enrolled full-time in computer information systems, engineering, engineering technology or mathematics at the baccalaureate or masters level, with a 3.0 or above GPA, who demonstrate professionalism through personal statement and letters of support. The university has in place an integrated system of support services for students. The scholarship students are further supported in their development by the PIs and by faculty mentors in each remaining area. Regularly scheduled meetings between students and mentors allow the kind of intrusive advising that is so often necessary. To further increase the scholarship recipients' motivation to graduate and their placement potential after graduation, each recipient is required to take a 1-credit course involving the exploration of technical careers. The primary activity in the course is close interaction with visiting speakers who talk about their careers, education, and research. Speakers are drawn from professionals in local business, industry and universities. The anticipated results include reduced times to graduation, increased completion rate, increased numbers of transfer students recruited to these majors and higher levels of student achievement for low-income and academically talented students in the fields of computer information systems, engineering, engineering technology, and mathematics. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987173 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987173 Award Number: 9987173 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Jane C.

It also serves to establish support systems that will maximize the students' ability to achieve and maintain a 2.5- 3.0 minimum grade point average during their undergraduate years. In addition, this program provides a mechanism that involves the students with the concepts of cooperative work education and research experiences for undergraduates. This results in increased numbers of engineering and science students who will consider science, engineering or technology as potential professional career choices and motivates them to pursue advanced study and research, leadership and academic careers in engineering, science, or technology-related pedagogy. There also exists an opportunity for students to participate in an "incentive" program that offers them a semester at a partnering Diversity in Engineering (DEP)/Heartland's Alliance for Minority Participation (HAMP) institution through the National Student Exchange (NSE). The principal goal of this program is to increase the pool of highly qualified engineering and science students from economically disadvantaged (underserved) and underrepresented group backgrounds. Then to address the growing, critical national concern for the quality of engineering and computer science education and the demand for a diversified workforce in the fields of computer science, engineering and mathematics. Moreover, the program will help ensure an adequate, well-prepared workforce of scientists and engineers that can maintain U.S. leadership in science and technology, both now and in the future. In addition, the project will help all students to acquire the mathematics and science skills needed to thrive in an increasingly technological society. The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) is in an ideal and unique position to increase significantly the utilization of an untapped source of American talent, that being the economically disadvantaged and historically underrepresented student. This opportunity allows MU to build a more dynamic relationship with two-and four- year colleges. Additionally, it helps to ensure the successful transition of transfer students from underserved and underrepresented groups into the engineering computer science and mathematics undergraduate programs at MU. This pool of students has been under-recruited in the past and need to be in the current and future SEM pipeline. This recruitment effort will be enhanced through coordination with the Heartland Alliance for Minority Participation transfer scholarships programs. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987170 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987170 Award Number: 9987170 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Iraj B.

Besides financial assistance through scholarships, the program adds critical supports for student learning, growth of self-confidence, career motivation, and long-term success. Four objectives guide this project: (1) enable all NSF/CSEM Scholars to enroll as fulltime, rather than part-time students; (2) improve the quality of the Scholars' education through participation in out-of-class enrichment activities.; (3) enhance overall retention and graduation rates so that all NSF/CSEM Scholars maintain continuing enrollment and achieve their degrees within the two-year project period; and (4) motivate all NSF/CSEM Scholars for graduate study with a minimum of 60% of the undergraduate Scholars enrolling in graduate programs. Because of the character of the City College student population, the project is also serving to increase the number of minorities who are trained in these technical fields and prepared to fill key management positions. The project is supporting forty scholars per year for the two-year project period, at $2500/each.

Additionally, underrepresented groups comprise 37% of the engineering college's student body of 900, including approximately 100 Native American students. Most of these students struggle under the burden of inadequate financial support and/or poor K-12 academic preparation for college. This project at provides 40 scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Engineering and Technology. Scholarship recipients receive $2500 per academic year for up to two years and have additional paid tutoring/teaching assistantship opportunities. Recipients of the NSF scholarships are undergraduate and graduate students who, in addition to the many institutional support programs, are supported through the following activities in the College of Engineering and Technology. The Engineering Scholars Seminar and Pizza series enhances the scholars' professional development, develops peer support, and offers an informal environment in which to interact with college faculty and administrators. The Engineering Scholars participate in workshops dedicated to internship and career placement, including training in resume writing and interview skills. All undergraduate Engineering Scholars participate in the Multicultural Engineering Program, and upper-division NSF Engineering Scholars receive work-study positions as tutors with the MEP program. Graduate students receiving scholarships also receive a paid quarter-time teaching assistantship to partner with full-time engineering faculty members in teaching undergraduate courses. Engineering Scholars are eligible for summer internship opportunities at Raytheon Defense Systems Segment in Tucson, AZ as part of a proposed Raytheon/NAU scholarship/internship partnership. The program will be administered by the Principal Investigators (the Master of Engineering Director and the Dean of the College), and coordinated by the College's Director of Internships and Cooperative Education/Scholarship Coordinator. A Scholarship Administrative Board, consisting of the engineering dean, relevant department chairs, and the Multicultural Engineering Program Director, will provide leadership and guidance for the program. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987147 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987147 Award Number: 9987147 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

The mission of the Program is to provide opportunities to 40 low-income, academically talented students that promote full-time enrollment and degree achievement in the targeted disciplines. Applying an existing infrastructure to the Program is envisioned to generate higher retention rates of students most at-risk not completing their degree program. A unique collaboration is proposed between the School of Engineering, the Departments of Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science, and the Office of Minority Student Affairs to identify and select 40 participants, provide sufficient support services to graduate 95% of the participants, provide faculty mentors for the participants, and implement a series of workshops to engage participants in research and community service activities relevant to their degree program. A tracking system will be designed to address issues that emerge during the life of the project, follow-up to determine postgraduate plans and activities, and on-going academic performance to meet scholarship requirements. The proposed Program will be an opportunity to research and address issues that affect retention and graduation of continuing students. Generally, continuing students are assumed to have acquired the resources and skills necessary to succeed on their own, however it is our experience that this may not be the case. Instead, students facing persistent financial challenges are less likely to complete their degree in a timely manner, require some intervention to maintain their focus, and guidance into the next phase of their academic and professional journey. The Program is designed to enable at-risk students to remain in a position to succeed academically, graduate and enter a professional field. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987146 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Scholarships for Success Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987146 Award Number: 9987146 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Robert W.

The MESA Engineering Program at SFSU provides administrative and managerial services for this scholarship program. The Cooperative Education Program and the MESA Engineering Program both provide major support services to the recipients of these scholarships. With its large enrollment of low-income and minority students and its location in one of the leading high-tech areas of the country, San Francisco State University offers an unusual opportunity to encourage talented students from underrepresented groups to pursue careers in computer science, engineering, and mathematics. San Francisco's Multimedia Gulch and nearby Silicon Valley offer numerous examples of the value of high-quality education in these fields. For financial reasons, almost all SFSU students must work part-time. The easy availability of jobs in Multimedia Gulch, Silicon Valley, and the other high-tech sectors of the Bay Area economy pull students out of school for too many hours per week. This delays students' academic progress and reduces the availability of the qualified professionals that are in great demand in local industry. These scholarships are directed to talented but financially needy students who will agree to use the scholarship funds to free up extra time for academic work. By reducing the necessity for students to perform nonrelevant work and by increasing their study time, this program will help many highly qualified students complete their education. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987145 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Silicon Forest Scholarships Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987145 Award Number: 9987145 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

Forty-four scholarships for full tuition and books are being awarded to low-income, academically talented students with special efforts to recruit women, disabled, and ethnic minority students. To increase retention and program completion, an infused system of supports and experiences spans the recipients' time in the program. Each scholarship recipient receives mentoring and tutoring, participates on a number of field trips to industry sites, attends presentations by industry leaders, and completes an integrated capstone project of applied learning. Mentoring is provided by the highly-qualified and industry-standard faculty at Chemeketa and tutoring by certified tutors. On site visits Silicon Forest Scholars hear presentations from each of the Silicon Forest industry partners, including Intel Corporation, Cisco Systems Incorporated, Pittsburgh Plate Glass, and ISM Group. The State of Oregon is presenting informational sessions for the recipients. During the integrated capstone project at the end of the scholarship term, recipients complete an academically demanding applied learning project from their individual fields of study. These provide opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning that will prepare students for work in the high-tech industry. The program expects to retain 90% of SFS recipients each year of the project and to graduate 85% of SFS recipients in their fields of study. Furthermore, the program provides assistance with a goal of ensuring that 95% of SFS graduates are employed in their field of study or transfer to a four-year college or university to continue their field of study. In addition to striving for these graduation and successful transfer goals, the SFS program is enhancing networks between Chemeketa Community College, local, national, and international industry, and four-year schools; strengthening partnerships between institutions of higher education and related employment sectors; and increasing its focus on the needs of industry and on cross-disciplinary studies that enhance student learning and worksite readiness. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987138 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Research and Development Scholars Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987138 Award Number: 9987138 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

Because of this, most of our graduates find employment in software development, manufacturing, plant operations, or sales, far from the process of creating either fundamental knowledge or new technology. However, Research and Development (R&D), particularly in the CSEMS fields, is the engine that drives productivity growth and increases our standard of living. It is important, therefore, that we motivate and prepare more of our students for careers in R&D. The faculties of computer science, engineering and mathematics at the University of Houston have joined to propose the R&D Scholars Program, whose goal is to increase the number of students pursuing R&D careers. We will provide the following student-support infrastructure: a) An undergraduate research experience on a funded research project, b) A $2,500 summer research stipend in addition to the CSEMS scholarship, c) A special summer school course to develop basic research skills (planning, technical writing, presentations, and mathematical software tools), d) A seminar series on the nature of academic and industrial R&D, the historical importance of R&D to society, career planning and educational preparedness amid the uncertainties of the modern workplace, and R&D career opportunities, e) An undergraduate research advisor and graduate student mentor, f) Support for developing personal educational and career plans, g) Support for applying to graduate school, h) Job placement for graduates who elect to enter the workplace after graduation. Promising students will be selected on the basis of clearly defined criteria and provided with scholarship support from both NSF and UH sources. These students will participate in an intensive, advanced-level enrichment program, characterized by the development of research and communications skills and special mentoring opportunities, all within the context of high quality undergraduate and graduate programs in Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics. The proposed program complements several effective academic enrichment programs at UH that serve mainly freshman and sophomore students. The proposed program has enthusiastic faculty support, and the support of the Deans of the two Colleges involved. The program administrative organization is well-defined, and the evaluation protocol includes dynamic elements that will serve not only to document effectiveness, but to provide feedback for continual improvement and success of the program. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987137 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987137 Award Number: 9987137 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

The program components -- recruitment, selection, mentoring, and professional development of the scholarship recipients -- build on the existing infrastructure for student support and industry support within the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the University, as well as existing articulation agreements with local community colleges. There is a growing industry base in the region, and graduates in computer science, engineering, and mathematics (CSEM) are highly recruited for their excellent preparation and strong work ethic. Many students are financially disadvantaged, and two thirds of all students receive some form of financial aid. Recruitment will focus on existing students, transfer students from community colleges that serve the region, and prospective graduate students at universities that have a significant enrollment of members of groups underrepresented in SMET. A web page with application materials and program information will be developed. Brochures and posters will also be utilized to recruit applicants. In addition, a Community College CSEM Day will be held for key community college faculty in mathematics and the sciences to communicate the need for and opportunities available to CSEM graduates. This approach will strengthen partnerships with community colleges. The selection criteria and process for awarding CSEM scholarships have been designed to encourage applications from students from diverse backgrounds and with diverse career goals. The selection process will ensure that scholarship recipients are academically talented, demonstrate financial need, and meet the citizenship and full-time enrollment requirements. Criteria to be used for evaluating qualified applicants include grade point average, an essay, work history, leadership activities, and references. The CSEM Scholarship Selection Committee will consist of CSEM faculty and/or industry representatives. A Student-Support Program will be provided to CSEM scholarship recipients. The Program is designed to encourage retention and career awareness and will include faculty, student, and external (employment-sector) mentors. After an orientation, the mentors will work to provide on-campus assistance, academic and career information, and career-related opportunities for the scholarship recipients. Web-based communications will be utilized for all participants. Monthly meetings or activities will be scheduled for the scholarship recipients. Participation in an annual leadership seminar will be encouraged. A feedback system has been designed to identify problems as they occur. Program evaluation will be conducted with the help of evaluation specialists in the College of Education. A series of surveys will be utilized to gather quantitative and qualitative information. Dissemination will be both internal and external through presentations at conferences related to CSEM education. This program addresses the integration of research and education. Some of the scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to participate on research projects with their faculty mentors. The goal of broadening the representation of underrepresented groups is also addressed through recruiting efforts targeted at universities that have a large number of students in these groups. The Program outcomes are expected to be improved educational experiences, increased retention to degree, improved career awareness and choices, and strengthened partnerships with CSEM employment sectors and community colleges. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987130 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : University of North Dakota Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholars Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987130 Award Number: 9987130 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Roger E.

The goal of the University of North Dakota Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship Program is to raise the number of disadvantaged students, women, and minorities students pursing majors and minors in technological fields to the highest possible level. To accomplish that goal, the Principal Investigator, Co-Principal Investigators, and the Management Team at the University of North Dakota have established the following three objectives: 1. To recruit and support 40 students in the Computer Science, Engineering and Math fields that meet the financial need and project criterion, have the potential of obtaining their degrees in the aforementioned fields by December 31, 200l, and have demonstrated academic merit in their application for a scholarship. 2. To provide a high quality and sustained faculty/student relationships between all 40 scholarship recipients and their mentors within the Computer Science, Engineering, and Math faculty, and closely monitor their progress. 3. To provide support/enhancement activities and opportunities to all 40 scholarship recipients during each of the four academic terms of the project. The primary method being used to achieve the aforementioned goal and objectives is by establishment of a high quality faculty/student mentoring relationships that are supported by existing administrative, social, and academic support currently available at the University of North Dakota. The method has been highly successful in previous projects at the University. The University of North Dakota has been and continues to be a national leader in producing graduates among women, ethnic and cultural minorities, disabled students, first generation college students, and those that are financially disadvantaged. The project is increasing the number of diverse graduates in each of the computer science, engineering, and mathematics fields. In addition, the project is providing access to scholarship opportunities for rural and farm country students who have been affected by the depressed farm economy, natural disasters, or long-time impoverishment. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987128 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987128 Award Number: 9987128 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Roger E.

Old Dominion University is an ideal candidate for such a program. The institution already has strong, active, and collaborative academic programs in each of the CSEM areas. The university has a diverse body of students, including a large percentage of women and minorities, and a large percentage of Pell eligible students. The university also has very active interactions with community colleges in the state, and high transfer enrollments from these schools. Candidate students in the CSEM areas are identified for scholarship consideration both from existing students and from community college students. The applications of these students, include not only prior academic performance, but also an essay describing career goals and letters of reference, are evaluated by a scholarship committee. The final step in the selection process is a formal interview of each candidate on campus.

The applicant in this case is the Prescott campus of the University and is referred to as ERAU-Prescott. The NSF is offering to fund scholarships to low income students, who may also be ethnic minorities, in pursuing degrees in the fields mentioned above. ERAU-Prescott believes that it is perfectly positioned to offer these NSF scholarships for a number of reasons: 1) Arizona and New Mexico are at or near the bottom of the 'poverty' level meaning that there are many financially-disadvantaged students, particularly ethnic minorities, who are in the 'target' population which the NSF Program seeks to help; 2). ERAU-Prescott is a relatively small private 'teaching' University, dedicated to preparing undergraduates for entry into industry or graduate school; it has a history of helping students to become successful; 3). a number of current students in the relevant degree programs are 'Pell Grant' eligible; 4). the applicant has a positive relationship with a number of aerospace and electronics firms, which affords special opportunities for its students for summer research, co-operative assignments, and new graduate hiring; 5). the applicant has made a substantial financial commitment to the NSF program, agreeing to augment the NSF funds with major institutional scholarships, offering material leverage to NSF funding The proposal seeks to accomplish the Outcome Objectives of having the NSF scholarship recipients: 1). complete their chosen undergraduate degree at the rate of 85%; 2) gain employment in their chosen fields upon graduation at the rate of 95%; and, 3). gain entry into graduate school at the rate of 90% of those who apply. It undertakes to achieve these Outcome Objectives by using a series of Process Objectives which include: a). aggressive recruitment, primarily at community colleges, of academically superior, low-income students; b). a plan to orient, motivate and ready the students for rigorous academic performance; c). a plan to support the students through a professor-Mentor and advising program and, d). a plan to help them gain employment in their degree fields, or be accepted in graduate school. The Plan of Operation sets forth how and where recruitment will be done, how individual students will be assessed, monitored and assisted, how high quality scholarly activities will be incorporated in their experience, what type of faculty will be involved in mentoring and providing guidance for the students to prepare for the rigors of industry or graduate school, including research and project preparation and presentation, and how ERAU-Prescott plans to inform industry about the NSF program. Highly qualified personnel have been selected as personnel to carry out the Project and a plan is in place to ensure proper and efficient management of the Project. An Evaluation Plan, which includes both formative and summative evaluations, write-ups, and reports on the quantified measures selected, will help the applicant and NSF to properly evaluate the success of the Project. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987118 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : A Multi-Faceted First-Year Program to Recruit and Retain Engineering Students Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987118 Award Number: 9987118 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Roger E.

Created in the last four years, these programs have been successful in achieving the goal of increasing both recruitment and retention rates of students enrolled in engineering programs at the University of Dayton. This project is providing scholarships for financially disadvantaged students who are benefiting from participation in these successful student-support programs. Scholarship support is giving students the financial assistance they need to sustain full-time enrollment in engineering programs, to complete their baccalaureate degrees, and to pursue post-graduate employment or advanced study in the engineering professions. During the 1990s, the School of Engineering (SOE) was confronted with low enrollments and retention rates of engineering students. Because first-year retention rates were especially low (69.5%) compared to retention rates in second, third or fourth years, the SOE decided to focus its retention improvement efforts at the first-year. A survey was conducted of students leaving the program after the first year, revealing these reasons: (1) difficulty with calculus, chemistry, and physics; (2) lack of association with other engineering students and faculty in the first year; and (3) inadequate first-year advising. To increase enrollments and first-year retention rates, the SOE has created several programs emphasizing student development and academic support in the first year. These programs consist of the First-Year Program, designed to assist and retain all first-year students; the Enriched Engineering Program, designed to recruit and retain "at-risk" students who normally would not be permitted to enroll in engineering because of low ACT or SAT scores; the Minority Engineering Program, designed to recruit and retain under-represented minorities; and the Introduction to Engineering Design course, providing all first-year students with an overview of all engineering fields offered at the University in a laboratory environment. Some of the effective elements of these programs include collaborative learning workshops, cohorted classes in calculus, chemistry, and physics, specialized advising, professional development sessions, and professional mentors paired with students. In each of the two years of the grant, scholarships is benefiting 40 engineering students who meet eligibility requirements and who successfully compete for the scholarships based on academic merit and professionalism. Special effort is made to ensure full consideration of students who are members of under-represented groups in engineering fields. Of the currently enrolled students who qualify for a scholarship, 18 percent are members of under-represented minority groups and 22 percent are female. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987111 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Scholarship Program for Low Income Students in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987111 Award Number: 9987111 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Jane C.

The program is designed to significantly increase the graduation rate of low-income students studying computer science, mathematics, and engineering by offering a comprehensive program of mentoring, advising, and financial support. Another goal of the program is to increase the graduation rate of low-income undergraduate students by at least 25% through a comprehensive program of faculty mentoring, mandatory advising, and financial support. The project directors plan to recruit at least 50% of the scholars from minority groups. The program will provide research and industrial internship opportunities to enhance the post-graduation success of low-income computer science, mathematics, and engineering undergraduates. It includes advising and job search services to CSEMS scholars in job placement after graduation, or selection of and enrollment in a graduate program. The program features the creation of an administrative structure that integrates the scholarship program and ensures that the infrastructure is in place to support the goals of the program. The proposed program takes advantage of the urban character of the university by targeting low-income transfer students for recruitment into computer science, mathematics, and engineering. A seminar series is provided that includes invited speakers from industry. Field trips to local industrial sites are offered. A number of resources to enhance retention and ensure success are provided such as drop-in rooms for minority students, mandatory advising, assignment of a faculty mentor to each scholar, and the CSEMS seminar series. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987107 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Northeastern State University Computer Science Scholarship Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987107 Award Number: 9987107 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Iraj B.

In addition to the scholarships, the institution is providing tutoring, mentoring and counseling to the participants in order to strengthen student retention and to ensure graduation within the program's time constraints. Students are selected for the program based on their financial status, their current grade point average and their leadership abilities. Since nearly 25 percent of the institution's enrollment is American Indian the scholarship program is also helping to address the underrepresentation of minority populations in science and engineering fields. Recruitment takes place through advertisements in local and area newspapers and radio and cable television stations, brochures and announcements at local and area junior colleges and in tribal newspapers and events. Students are required to have completed a minimum of fifty hours of undergraduate credit and to have gained acceptance into the Mathematics, Computer Science or Management and Information Systems programs. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987101 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Recruiting, Retaining, and Supporting Two Year College Students: An Engineering Scholarship Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987101 Award Number: 9987101 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

This service area is also under-educated in terms of the number of households holding one or more college degrees when compared to the rest of Minnesota. Over 70% of entering Freshmen at the college qualify for PELL grant financial aid, and over 80% of entering Freshmen hold jobs of 20-30 hours per week in order to pay for college and living expenses. Also in the service area is a Native American population virtually unserved by any educational agency that stresses technology or engineering careers. Although recruiting and summer initiatives already make sustained contact with these groups of students, to a student from a first generation college home, to a female student with little peer support for engineering, or to an Anishanabe student with little or no family contact with engineering, these efforts have not proven sufficient to enable degree completion. Through this project NSF funding is providing an escalating system of financial support for both entering and second year students in order to bring the career of engineering to the student groups mentioned above. We expect to demonstrate that scholarships aimed at capable students among these groups can serve to overcome low peer and family expectations for engineering career access. Based on this experience and a strong educational research and assessment program, we seek to redirect college foundation funds and tribal funds towards continued scholarship support of these groups in engineering. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987095 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : National Science Foundation Scholars Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987095 Award Number: 9987095 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Jane C.

The program is in accord with the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 which addresses the national workforce need to increase the number of graduates in CSEMS fields. A three-pronged effort was designed to provide engineering education opportunities for engineering parallel students from Ohio Community Colleges, recipients of NSF-CSEMS scholarships from internal/external WSU market sources, graduate CSEMS fellows from major Ohio urban cities and Wright STEPP Minority Engineering Program (MEP) alum. The outcomes of the CSEMS program at WSU are improved education for students, increased retention to degree completion, improved professional development/employment, increased graduate fellows from underrepresented groups, and partnerships between WSU and local corporate entities. The primary objective is accomplished by project management leadership in quality sciences, cognitive/non- cognitive selection methods, operations research, active learning, and technical instruction (assessment, planning, teaching and evaluation) supported by existing Wright State University student-support infrastructure. The use of Adaptive Branching Techniques was also researched as a method of skill assessment to eliminate test bias for underrepresented group candidates, improve placement in math courses, and shorten the time to graduation using Pareto, Gap and Value analysis. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987082 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : College of Technology & Applied Sciences: Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program (CTAS/CSEMS) Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987082 Award Number: 9987082 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Robert W.

The college involved in this project is an established leader in associate degree level science education and has been offering quality programs in Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics. Annual surveys of CSEM graduates from 1994-97 with very high response rates indicate that over 95% were employed, enrolled in 4-year IHEs, or both. The goal of the project is to increase the number of academically talented but financially disadvantaged persons, particularly Blacks, Latinos and women, enrolling full-time in CSEM Associate degree programs and completing their degrees as preparation for CSEM careers and further higher education. The project uses a combination of expanded scholarship opportunities, a special recruitment effort, and a support network delivering assistive services to 1) cut the three-year success rate gap between minorities and majority CSEM students in stages by two-thirds and 2) increase the three-year graduation rate for women CSEM majors in stages by 25% from the 1991-95 IPEDS averages, plus 3) increase the number of racial/ethnic minorities and women enrolling as first time full-time CSEM students in stages by 25% from the the 1994-98 IPEDS averages for each group. A distinctive feature of this "Start Right" Program is the partner community agencies serving as "linking pins" to the cluster communities of Blacks and Latinos in nearby towns, providing assistance in recruiting and serving as neighborhood-based support sites. Project directors envision a mentoring continuum linking the college's current efforts to programs run by these agencies, with e-mail being a key tool to increase contact between mentors and CSEM students. They hope to establish Online Outposts at these agencies to host workshops for parents and other events and also to serve as mentoring, peer tutoring and carpool sites. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987076 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Scholarship Program for an Integrated Curriculum in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987076 Award Number: 9987076 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Duncan E.

The intent is to demonstrate that significant improvement in retention, placement, and workforce throughput can be achieved for all students - including women, minorities, and persons with disabilities - through a unique combination of scholarships, professional development activities, intervention, and academic support. Thirty qualified motivated junior-level students in engineering and computer science are participating in the two-year program as a cohort group. Program highlights include a summer industry or research internship between the junior and senior years of study. Other professional development activities designed to enhance student workforce "readiness" include industry mentors, shadowing programs, involvement in professional societies, and a one credit-hour Professional Development Workshop each semester created especially for this project. A Project Advisory Committee, with members from industry, is guiding development and execution of the project. One of their tasks is to assure that industry involvement provides real intellectual engagement with students. Academic support activities center on creation of a learning environment in which students feel empowered to take responsibility for their own success. Special orientation sessions held at the beginning of each project year, cooperative learning activities in the Professional Development Workshops, interactions with peer mentors, personal counseling and advising, inter- and intra - group communication, and tutoring are among the activities. Networking, mentoring, and social interactions are featured. Scholarships of $2,500 per year are enabling students to concentrate upon their studies and development activities. Research objectives for the project focus upon five issues of national interest and importance, all associated with human resource development: * The future engineering and computer science workforce. *Under-representation of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities in this workforce. *Preparation of students for productive contributions upon entry into this workforce. *The increasing length of time required for students to earn degrees. *Increasing numbers of transfer students in engineering and computer science baccalaureate programs. Success of the project in addressing these issues is being systematically evaluated and reported. Of special significance to engineering education are the data that is being obtained on performance of upper division and community college transfer students, groups largely overlooked in previous studies of retention and academic performance. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987059 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987059 Award Number: 9987059 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Elizabeth Teles DUE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION EHR DIRECT FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Start Date : February 15, 2000 Expires : January 31, 2002 (Estimated) Expected Total Amt. : $220000 (Estimated) Investigator: Paul Sisul psisul@cs.depaul.edu (Principal Investigator current) Thomas J.

This project is improving student access and retention by expanding and enhancing long-term, well developed, institutionalized programs at Purdue University aimed at broadening the opportunities and enabling the full-time enrollment and participation of a cross-section of our financially needy students in the sciences and engineering. The project is increasing the total number of low-income, but academically talented, students who complete their degrees in a timely manner, and also increasing the number of women and underrepresented minority students receiving their bachelor degrees in CSEMS disciplines. A careful nomination and selection procedure is being used to ensure program goals are met and 40 scholarship slots are filled each year (juniors and seniors). In addition to support programs already in place on the campus of Purdue University, scholarship recipients are meeting weekly in small groups with engineering, science and technology faculty in order to discuss career options, choices and campus and societal issues. The students are being afforded interdisciplinary research opportunities and are participating in poster displays and on-campus research gatherings during which their own research is being discussed with other students, faculty, and the general public. Four graduate assistants are working closely with the PI. They are participating in mentoring and tutorial activities and helping to ensure that the scholarship recipients 'stay on track', both academically and in a personal sense, for 'on time' graduations in CSEMS fields and successful transitions to the work force or to educational programs leading to advanced degrees. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987052 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987052 Award Number: 9987052 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Elizabeth Teles DUE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION EHR DIRECT FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Start Date : April 1, 2000 Expires : March 31, 2002 (Estimated) Expected Total Amt. : $220000 (Estimated) Investigator: Stanley G.

"CSEMS at Cal" is awarding scholarships of $2,500 per year to forty economically disadvantaged students, who are being referred to as Cal-CSEMS Scholars. Recruitment of the Cal-CSEMS Scholars is targeting three groups: 1) incoming freshmen, 2) incoming transfer students, and 3) continuing students at the junior level. This group includes students from majors in Berkeley's College of Engineering, chemical engineering majors in the College of Chemistry, and students in the computer science or mathematics majors in the College of Letters and Science. All students targeted for the scholarships demonstrate financial need and are being verified by Berkeley's Financial Aid Office. Students are being chosen by a committee, which is employing a comprehensive approach in evaluating each student's academic merit and professionalism. There is an increasing shortfall in the number of qualified students able to fill the need for computer science and engineering professionals in the workforce. Students' financial troubles are increasingly likely to interrupt and delay their degree completion. Currently, 60% of Berkeley students demonstrate some type of financial need, and are receiving need-based support in order to attend college. Financial need is perhaps a more serious impediment to timely completion of engineering degrees because the technical course load is often not compatible with long hours of outside work. The "CSEMS at Cal" program is allocating support to financially needy students to assist them in completing their Bachelors of Science degrees in engineering and computer science fields. The "CSEMS at Cal" scholarships are key incentives for attracting and retaining a talented undergraduate engineering student population. A special emphasis is being placed on recruiting underrepresented students, currently the object of the College of Engineering's outreach and recruitment activities in the CUES Office. Although CUES' expertise is in working with underrepresented student groups, the academic services, counseling and advocacy offered by CUES programs are equally useful and appropriate for students from low-income, majority groups. Cal-CSEMS scholars are participating in a variety of retention-related activities tied to the existing CUES student support infrastructure. This includes faculty advising, academic excellence workshops, tutoring, mentoring, advising, internships in industry and/or research experience, and assistance with graduate school applications or job placement. A unifying theme of the "CSEMS at Cal" program is to increase student retention by helping each student develop into a committed member of the engineering and academic community. The "CSEMS at Cal" program is providing an important opportunity to extend CUES practices, academic activities and diversity training to a wider base of students and faculty. The Cal-CSEMS scholars is also providing a vehicle to strengthen CUES' relationships with its industry partners; namely by increasing the number of students CUES can refer for hiring opportunities. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987049 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science and Mathematics Scholarship Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987049 Award Number: 9987049 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Robert W.

The Computer Science and Mathematics Scholarship Program (CSMS) provides an educational environment and support that prepares students for graduate studies. This is accomplished by exposing selected low-income students to a unique series of experiences during their final two years at Hampton University. A graduate component of CSMS provides tuition assistance for students who wish to matriculate in established Master's degree programs in Computer Science and Mathematics at HU. The CSMS project is closely aligned with an on-going eleven-year program at HU (Student Enhancement in Mathematics and Science (SEMS)) funded by the Office of Naval Research that has proven successful in meeting its goals of preparing minority students for graduate school and subsequently, the nation's workforce. The primary focus of the CSMS project is the student- providing the student with all the tools, personal assistance, and skills needed to successfully matriculate at any graduate degree granting institution in the nation. The specific components of the CSMS program are: (1)A Scholarship Program for current high performing students that are able to establish financial need; (2) A Research Participation Program; (3) An Academic and Mathematics Tutorial Program; (4) A Student Assessment Program; (5) Summer internships; and (6) A Visiting Lecturers Program. CSMC graduate students work closely with the undergraduate component of the program. Their duties are to serve as tutors, advisors, and research mentors to augment the experiences provided by faculty researchers for the undergraduates. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987040 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987040 Award Number: 9987040 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Andrew P.

Each year 36 talented, historically underserved students in the state who enter one of the college's campuses in 2000 and 2001 are being given these awards. Scholarship recipients are recruited from high schools in the state and the scholarships are awarded to low-income, academically talented students. The overall CSEMS program accommodates applicants from diverse backgrounds who have diverse career goals. The CSEMS program is :(1) implementing a recruitment program throughout the state in cooperation with the college, local high schools and advocacy organizations; (2) meeting major costs of college attendance for 36 eligible students each year of the two-year grant; (3) bringing together college faculty and staff from academic and counseling departments to offer academic support and mentoring to the Scholars; (4) making use of the resources of college industry advisory boards to create internships for CSEMS scholars in technology industries related to CSEMS scholars fields of study; and (5) offering Scholars employment and educational placement assistance. The college is the state's entry point for talented, low-income students. More than 80 percent of students enrolled in the college work while attending college -75% receive some form of financial aid. The college enrolls the largest number of low-income students of all state postsecondary educational institutions. The college emphasizes technological programs, offering academic programs directly related to the NSF CSEMS program such as mathematics, computer science, and a range of engineering technologies. Many of the low-income students take too long to complete their A.A.S. programs and the retention rate for these students is low. The CSEMS scholarships permits talented, low-income students to concentrate on their studies, to provide more time for study and acts to reduce their indebtedness as they progress toward advanced study or work. Scholars also need support from academic mentors, experience interning in industry and other enhancements if they are to graduate on time and in good standing. The college is building on recruitment networks developed through long-standing Upward Bound projects in state high schools serving low-income, diverse student populations. The college's Human Resources, College Relations and Marketing Offices coordinate the recruitment effort with the Principal Investigator. Accepted students receive free tuition and other assistance with direct educational costs. A team of college mathematics and engineering technologies faculty serve as mentors to the CSEMS Scholars over the two-year period, sponsoring enhanced learning experiences and making referrals to available campus academic support services. The college works with its industry advisory boards in disciplines related to the grant to establish industry internships for the Scholars. Exit counseling and job placement is being accomplished by the college and these advisory boards for Scholars in their second year. The President sponsors periodic special events supporting the CSEMS Scholars. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987039 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : NSF Scholarships for Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Majors Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a9987039 Award Number: 9987039 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Jane C.

As a nation that is growing more and more dependent on technology degrees, the need to recruit and train nontraditional students such as minorities and women is critical. The primary objective of this project is to provide scholarships to help increase the number of academically talented but financially disadvantaged persons, particularly Hispanics and women, enrolling full- time in CSEM associate degree programs and completing their degrees as preparation for CSEM careers and further higher education. The project uses a combination of expanded scholarship opportunities, a rigorous recruitment plan, mentor- designed workshops on student success, student pairing- up ("buddy system"), industry involvement, and a student support structure delivering services such as advising and tutoring to create growth in the programs, help students complete their studies within two years, decrease the attrition point for students between the first and second years, and have the scholarship awardees either transfer to a four- year institution or enter the workplace. A distinctive feature of this "bridging the gap" program is the partnership between the NSF student awardees and community. "Colonia" development agencies are helping to develop a link between the colonias and the NSF students so that both colonia residents and the students (sometimes colonia residents themselves) benefit from tutoring and learning opportunities. Further, NSF students have direct contact with employers, allowing them to see how their learned skills work in the community. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 94793 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Undergraduate Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a0094793 Award Number: 0094793 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Robert W.

The goal is to increase the percentage of ethnic minorities and women who enroll in the two target disciplines at California State University, Dominguez Hills, and who graduate in a timely manner with a Bachelor's degree. The focus is on junior transfer students who enter these two majors and on the overall number of female who select one of these majors. In addition to the scholarship assistance provided by the grant, the project institutes a program of mentoring by faculty and staff and a series of presentations by individuals representing the local industries that hire many of the institution's graduates. A center for computer science majors is developed; this is based on a model that has enjoyed success in the mathematics program. On- campus employment in various labs and tutoring centers is arranged for those students interested in gaining additional practical experience, and the program rewards and recognizes excellence in its students by placing as many as possible in summer research experiences. The ultimate goal of the project is the training and entry into the workforce of individuals who for reasons of poverty, cultural background, or gender might not otherwise enter or complete programs in the fields of mathematics and computer science. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 94725 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 19, 2001 File : a0094725 Award Number: 0094725 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Duncan E.

Furthermore, students are receiving support, information, and encouragement to pursue continuing educational opportunities even as they join the CSEMS workforce. The program features a partnership that includes Pasadena City College (PCC) and East Los Angeles College (ELAC), two long time Cal State L.A. community college collaborators. Given the demographic data of all three institutions, the NSF Scholars Program automatically serves one of the most diverse and traditionally under-served student populations in the country. The Cal State L.A. NSF-CSEMS Scholars Program has three distinguishing characteristics: 1) all NSF scholars pursuing any one of the three degrees have opportunities to share experiences, with senior scholars acting as mentors for the younger ones; 2) shared activities encourage students to move from AAs and BAs to Master's degrees and beyond; and 3) the Program is expanding collaborative programs and activities both among the partners and within each institution. Program activities include: For Cal State L.A. students, a specifically designed one-unit course required during the fall quarter of each academic year (or each quarter of the academic year) to promote academic, leadership and interpersonal skills. Faculty from the targeted disciplines are also introducing ongoing state-of-the-art research projects which students can join. The collaborating campuses are sponsoring special CSEMS CAREER DAYS, in addition to offering regular, ongoing support services. A set of periodic special event meetings allows all scholars to come together, promoting the Program theme of advancing through the A.A. to graduate school and a career.

Students in this project will be able to take advantage of undergraduate research opportunities that are often available to only a few select students. The five University of New Mexico (UNM) School of Engineering (SOE) departments, the Department of Mathematics and the MEMS program are proposing to use NSF CSEMS funding to create a comprehensive program to ensure retention to degree completion, professional development and career placement upon termination. The program will stress the relationships between academic studies and workplace needs. The program provides the opportunity for students, faculty and staff to concurrently assume responsibilities as researchers, educators and students as they pursue joint efforts that infuse their engineering and science education. The undergraduate research experiences especially provide a sense of excitement and discovery. In our PI, Dr. Paul Fleury, Dean of the School of Engineering, we have a leader who is totally committed to our goal of increasing the numbers of Hispanic, African-American and Native American students academically prepared to enter the workplace after academic achievements that have shown the close relationships between academia and the workplace, as well as the relationships between academic studies and research ??how all of these complement and reinforce one another symbiotically. Our years of experience have convinced us that effective mentors are key to producing outstanding engineers and scientists. The passionate devotion to research is contagious as students and faculty work together on research projects. Another key aspect of our programs is our close relationships with corporate, government and other organizations that provide the students with opportunities to participate in exciting activities that make them aware of the vast opportunities that await them as a result of their completion of BS and advanced degrees. Summer internships and co-op placements provide the students with exposure to a wide variety of real world engineering experiences that reinforce their dedication to their academic work at UNM. We are especially concerned that, through our evaluation and documentation processes, other programs nationwide can replicate our successes and avoid our failures. In summary, we sincerely believe that this program can enable our extant programs to make even greater future achievements in preparing African-American, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans to receive their rightful place in the American economy. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987267 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987267 Award Number: 9987267 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Duncan E.

This program will provide $2,500 scholarships annually for two years to forty low-income, upper-division undergraduates majoring in computer science, engineering, or mathematics. Due to their underrepresentation in CSEMS fields, priority for such scholarships will be given to low-income ethnic minorities (American Indians, Alaskan Natives, African Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Mexican American/Latinos), women, and persons with disabilities. Primary objectives of the UCSD CSEMS Program will be to (1) increase the number of professional development research activities, as well as internship opportunities, for participants; (2) provide services to support timely completion of degree requirements; (3) increase the numbers of low-income undergraduate ethnic minorities, women, and persons with disabilities who enter graduate school in CSEMS fields; (4) expand and further develop the capacity within existing alumni and private industry relationships/networks to provide career seminars and relevant job preparation experiences; and, (5) address the broader societal issue of low participation in CSEMS by the targeted populations through mentoring and role modeling activities for lower-division and pre-college students. To receive the scholarships, participating students must remain enrolled full time in a CSEMS major, maintain a GPA of at least 2.80, and participate in enrichment activities designed to facilitate their involvement with faculty and peers through mentoring and collaborative learning. Students will be required to attend a program orientation, participate in at least one career seminar per academic year, meet with their CSEMS Advisor minimally once each quarter, participate in research with a faculty mentor or in a CSEMS-related industry internship or on- campus employment activity, and serve as a mentor or role model for a lower-division undergraduate or pre-college student with demonstrated interest in CSEMS. Support provided to CSEMS Scholars will include a peer mentor during their initial program year, tutorial and peer study-group support, plus assistance in preparing for graduate school. With the financial assistance and enrichment activities provided through the CSEMS Program, it is anticipated that most students will graduate within two years of entry into the program and will either enter a graduate program with a CSEMS major or secure a position in a related field. Long-term, continuing benefits of program activities include establishment of new research and internship opportunities to be available for future CSEMS majors, increased networking and mentoring activities for future cooperative interactions among participating individuals at various stages of their CSEMS careers, development of student linkages within the university community itself as well as with local industry and agencies, pre-college encouragement to seek careers in CSEMS-related fields by underrepresented ethnic groups, low-income women and persons with disabilities, and expanded knowledge of research processes acquired by CSEMS Scholars working in conjunction with their faculty mentors. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987265 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987265 Award Number: 9987265 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Andrew P.

The program is increasing the number of students who successfully graduate with higher education degrees in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics. One of the primary problems affecting the retention and achievement of financially disadvantaged students is lack of financial resources. A lack of resources causes students to work excessive hours adversely affecting their study time, and contributes to a phenomenon of "stopping out" in which students leave campus for semesters at a time. The NSF CSEMS program is providing significant financial assistance to help address these problems. Coupled with comprehensive support services and monitoring by programs within the two Colleges, CSEMS fosters student success. The principal goals of CSEMS are: 1) increasing the number of financially disadvantaged students, including under-represented minorities and women, who graduate in the fields of Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics; 2) enhancing the educational achievements and professional development of participating students. Over a two year period, 40 promising newly matriculated community college transfer students and/or continuing juniors each year who are majoring in Computer Sciences, Engineering, or Mathematics are selected. These students receive a full range of services throughout their academic career through a coordinated effort with existing support services provided by institutionally administered programs in each College--the Engineering & Computer Science Student Development and Equity Center (SDEC) and the Science and Math Advisement Center (SMAC). The CSEMS program in conjunction with SDEC and SMAC utilizes a variety of strategies and activities of proven effectiveness in the recruiting and retaining disadvantaged, underrepresented minority students and women. CSEMS services include academic advisement, close monitoring of student progress, tutorial services, workshops, career advisement, graduate school information, mentoring, financial aid and scholarship assistance, recognition awards and linkage to appropriate student organizations. The objectives of CSEMS are: *to retain CSEMS students in Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics at a rate that is 20% greater than a comparable community college transfer cohort. *to retain CSEMS continuing students at a rate that is 20% greater than a comparable cohort of students. *after two years of participation, the GPA of CSEMS students will be 0.5 higher than those of a comparable student cohort. *to facilitate the personal and professional development of CSEMS participants by establishing partnerships with industry, co-op programs, and the Career Center. * to realize placement of students in scientific/technical careers or graduate school at a rate of 90%. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987256 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987256 Award Number: 9987256 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Andrew P.

The project includes a new one credit Mathematics/Engineering Laboratory course being offered for at least the duration of the award. It is designed to provide support, including research experience, professional development, career planning, and counseling, to junior and senior undergraduate students majoring in mathematics and engineering disciplines. A small group of advanced graduate students have mentoring functions, enhancing their preparation for careers as researchers and educators. The lab is open to all students in selected courses, but registration in every semester is required of scholarship recipients. The application mechanism for scholarships solicits information on students' academic merit, professionalism, and financial need, and ascertains the nature of the academic and non-academic support that enhances students' prospects for graduation within two years. Scholarships to approximately thirty six undergraduates each academic year remedies, to some degree, the financial need that forces many to take part time employment during the academic year. Since such employment inhibits their participation in ongoing support activities in the College of Engineering, these students have not previously formed networks with other students and faculty. One of the primary functions of the laboratory is to provide all math and engineering undergraduates the opportunity to form peer working groups. Laboratory activities evolve each semester, although some course support for all registered students is provided by graduate student mentors in every semester. The first semester of activity is devoted to program orientation. Students whose application indicates the desire for non-academic support services are identified and directed to campus programs such as the Counseling Center, Student Support Services, the Center for Learning Experience, and other appropriate services. Math/Engineering faculty make presentations in the lab to recruit students to work on current research projects. During the second semester, scholarship students are required to prepare a research proposal to join an active research group. During the third and fourth semesters, scholarship students engage in research. Lab activities prepare students for their postgraduate careers through career planning, development of interview skills, and graduate school advisement. The laboratory serves as a forum for students to meet with representatives of industries that employ Math/Engineering graduates. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987254 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : CSEMS@PCC Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987254 Award Number: 9987254 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Robert W.

Colorado State, a land-grant and Carnegie I Research university, will coordinate its existing science and engineering student services resources and its resources in the industrial sector in Northern Colorado to create a comprehensive program to support scholarship recipients. Low-income students graduate at much lower rate than their peers. They are less prepared for college, are less involved because they must expend time and energy securing the funds to attend, and often must slow or interrupt their schooling because of financial crises. Research indicates that there are two major elements that assist low-income students to persist to graduation: receiving aid that meets a high proportion of their expenses and working up to 10 hours a week. This project will provide these elements, as well as use best-practice strategies to furnish other types of support, with special consideration for the needs of women, underrepresented minority students, and disabled students. Forty low-income, academically-talented students will be selected to receive a scholarship of $2500 per year, an amount that covers 77% of resident tuition at Colorado State. Each recipient will also agree to participate in one of several existing student support programs, through which they will receive academic support and preparation for career and/or graduate school. These programs will also ensure that recipients engage in a work experience in their field on campus or in industry. In addition, a financial aid specialist will advise students individually, and students will attend an intensive Professional Development Workshop conducted by campus career personnel and representatives of industry. Students will also have the unique opportunity to have a mentor from the ranks of professionals in their field anywhere in the country though the International Telementor Center. Project management will be through the Office of the Dean of the College of Natural Science. A steering committee consisting of representatives of industry and each involved unit will ensure communication and integration with academic programs. Expected outcomes are that 1) scholarship recipients will graduate at higher rates and sooner than similar students in a control group, 2) that they will be well-prepared to enter the workforce or graduate education, and 3) Colorado State's connections with the private sector, particularly relating to placement of its engineering, computer science and mathematics graduates and involvement of employers in academic preparation, will be enhanced. This project will not only impact the lives of scholarship recipients and strengthen Colorado State's ability to train its students. It will also demonstrate that students from low-income populations, given appropriate support, can help to meet the critical need for well-prepared technology workers in the U.S. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987232 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Scholarship Program for Computer Science and Engineering Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987232 Award Number: 9987232 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

The project will award 40 $2,500 scholarships to qualified upper division students enrolled in engineering or computer science programs as full-time students. Recruitment and outreach for awards will target low-income, academically talented students from groups under-represented in appropriate fields who will be able to enroll full time and complete their degree within two years if they receive the support of an award as part of their financial aid package. The addition of a targeted scholarship program to the school's existing scholarship and student support offerings will enable the university to: Increase transfer student enrollment by 20% in SEAS programs in computer science and engineering; Increase the percentage of upper division students enrolling full-time by 10%; Increase retention of upper division students to graduation within two years; Improve diversity of upper division student body by targeted recruitment for under-represented groups by 15%; and Improve geographic diversity of upper division student body by 5% to expand enrollment of economically disadvantaged students from rural Oregon. The school as part of its overall recruitment activities will lead recruitment for applicants. Special consideration will be given to working with community partners, such as the Oregon Math, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) K-12 enrichment program for under-represented students, and the Society for Women Engineers, to identify and recruit students under-represented in appropriate fields. The school will also work with other administrative units, such as the financial aid and admissions office, to identify and encourage application from qualified applicants who meet the basic program criteria. Awards decision factors will include academic indicators such as lower division GPA and class rank, as well as indicators of professional success (motivation, communication skills, and leadership) provided by the required letters of recommendation from faculty or employers, and by student essays. Once students have accepted their awards, SEAS will coordinate its student service efforts with support services offered through other units to provide each student with a support infrastructure which is tailored to meet their needs in order to assure their success through graduation and post-graduation employment. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987230 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987230 Award Number: 9987230 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

This program is effective because it incorporates an integrated combination of scholarship support, co-operative education assignments and mentoring. The combination of real work experience and both financial and academic support not only attracts excellent students, but is providing access to and supporting success in a top quality technical education. This effective program involves direct and active participation of many offices of the university and at least two major corporate partners, Ford Motor Company and Delphi Automotive Systems. The corporate partners not only provide co-operative work experiences involving real engineering and computer science functions, but they also match the NSF scholarship support with equal amounts of funding for each student. As such, this represents a model of partnership between academia, industry and government to meet an urgent national need: the attraction and graduation of increased numbers of technological professionals. The location of the university and its history of success in attracting large proportions of women and minority students to engineering and science are sound indicators of success in attracting a diverse group of NSF-Industrial Fellows. The mission of the university to educate diverse teams that value all contributors and the NSF priority on increasing diversity in CSEMS education are both factors in the selection of fellows. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987215 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships (CSEMS) Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987215 Award Number: 9987215 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

The scholarships awarded through the NSF Scholars Program is allowing students to reduce their required work hours and loan package and allowing them time to pursue the rigorous curriculum with sufficient study/tutor time and time to participate in applications oriented experiences. Some of those who are part-time students can now enroll full-time. Those who are full-time are advancing more quickly by increasing their load and/or by enhancing their performance. The NSF Scholars Program is linked to the student support infrastructure of the Math, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) Program, which is located at each of the three Los Rios colleges. This national model provides students pursuing majors in computer science, math, engineering, or engineering technology with the student support infrastructure necessary to enhance their transferability to four-year schools and their continuance in the major. This infrastructure includes the components of recruitment, academic support and mentoring, applications oriented experiences, retention, and transfer support. Activities within these components include tutoring, faculty and student mentoring, counseling, internships, field trips and job shadowing, leadership training, technology and math/science bootcamps, enrichment programs and the opportunity to provide community service to enhance the profession. All this is done under the umbrella of the Los Rios District and the MESA Industry/Education Advisory Council. The NSF Scholars Coordinating Committee, a 13-member committee consisting of Los Rios faculty, managers, and staff is monitoring and evaluating the program. The administrative plan includes close monitoring of a well-defined selection process and clearly defined and measurable outcomes. Reporting, as required by NSF, is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator in coordination with five other instructional deans, each having responsibility for one or more of the specified majors. The NSF Scholars Selection Committee, a 12-member committee, with representatives from the three colleges, the three MESA programs, industry professionals and local K-12 and four-year institutions, is screening and selecting the NSF Scholars. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987211 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematical Sciences Scholarship Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987211 Award Number: 9987211 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

This is the largest university in the United States with a student population that is majority Mexican-American and a national leader in the preparation of Hispanic scientists and engineers. It is also a commuter institution that draws approximately 85 percent of its students from El Paso County, the fourth poorest Metropolitan Statistical Area in the United States in terms of per-capita income. Approximately 40 percent of this university's students are the first in their families to attend a university, and most students must work on- or off-campus to pay for their education and assist their families. Under the leadership of Principal Investigators, this project will offer 44 scholarships each year for two years, beginning in August 2000, to 22 upper-division undergraduate students in computer science, engineering, and mathematics; 11 master's level students in those programs; and 11 doctoral students in three programs (Computer Engineering, Environmental Science and Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering) who are at the dissertation writing stage of their graduate careers. All individuals selected as CSEM Scholars must: be United States citizens, nationals, or aliens admitted as refugees at the time of application; demonstrate financial need, defined as eligibility for U.S. Department of Education Pell Grants or Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need fellowships; and enroll full-time in computer science, engineering, and/or mathematics degree programs at the baccalaureate or graduate level. CSEMS Scholars will complete outstanding and innovative undergraduate and graduate programs that will prepare them for the 21st century. They will receive mentorship from faculty who combine outstanding teaching with research programs funded by agencies such as NSF, NASA, EPA, the Department of Defense, and other federal, state, and corporate sources. In addition, through the Model Institutions for Excellence program, students will participate in innovative programs to support their retention in their degree programs and increase their professional skills. When they complete their degrees, they can expect to be highly competitive for major graduate schools and to be actively recruited by major industry employers. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987208 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Clark Atlanta University NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987208 Award Number: 9987208 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Duncan E.

Atlanta, GA 303144358 404/880-8000 NSF Program : 1536 CSEMS--CS, ENG & MATH SCHOLAR Fld Applictn: 0000099 Other Applications NEC Abstract : Clark Atlanta University (CAU) is establishing a Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics Scholarship (CSEMS) Program for students pursuing degree programs in computer science, engineering and mathematics. Since its inception, Clark Atlanta University has been vitally concerned with ameliorating the acute underrepresentation of African Americans and other minorities in technical fields such as science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SMET). Over the past ten years, the University has made a significant, positive impact on this important issue through implementation of a variety of research initiatives and educational programs. Clark Atlanta University has set a goal to play a major role in reversing the decline in African American and minority enrollment in undergraduate and graduate SMET programs. Over the past ten years, an undergraduate program in general engineering was added to the SEM curriculum and the Department of Computer and Information Sciences was spun off from the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, creating six undergraduate majors in physical sciences, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Each of these departments has been successful in securing major multi-year funding from the private and public sectors that has resulted in the creation of six research centers and institutes. The University's goals and outcomes for SMET education by the year 2004 are as follows: Increase the total enrollment of SMET students from 930 to 1500; Increase the retention rate of SMET freshman students to 80%; Increase the annual SMET graduation rate from 100 to 250; Increase the percentage of SMET students entering research institutions for advanced degrees by 60%; and Increase the number of SMET students who successfully bridge the transition from high school/undergraduate, undergraduate/graduate and graduate/job market by 15% per year. This project will assist the University in achieving these goals by significantly increasing the number of scholarship opportunities available to undergraduate SEM students. Additionally, the grant award will act as a catalyst to reinforce other SMET curricula enhancement programs at the University. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987206 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987206 Award Number: 9987206 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Duncan E.

The scholarships should allow the university to make notable impact on the overall success of our student to complete the degree. These need-based scholarships are comparable to the engineering college's more lucrative merit-based awards. At the undergraduate level, we will target upper division junior and senior scholars, and those who transfer into our engineering and mathematics programs at this level. At the graduate level, the need-based awards will supplement assistantship offers made to outstanding students. This significant enhancement to our recruitment package will allow us to become more competitive in attracting the best and brightest U.S. citizens into our graduate program. Our major objective in this project is to reduce the time to degree completion of high-achieving engineering, computer science, and mathematics scholars. We will involve scholarship recipients in program activities that will help them to improve interpersonal skills, serve as mentors to other students, and reduce or remove the need to work off-campus during the academic year. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987200 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Undergraduate Scholarship Program in a Technogenesis Environment Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987200 Award Number: 9987200 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Roger E.

An alternate route is for the scholars to engage in industry-sponsored design projects during the academic year for those students not inclined towards research. The distinguishing feature of the program is its relationship to an Institute-wide initiative that Stevens is implementing known as Technogenesis. Technogenesis refers to an organizational orientation that seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration in scholarship and learning that spans the continuum from the discovery of knowledge to its application in technology, from conception through to commercialization. The Undergraduate Scholarships Program for Technogenesis (UPT) builds on our extensive experience of engaging undergraduates in research, but with the added innovative dimension of also educating students in the transitioning of research to technology realization. It also builds upon the wealth of successful experience at Stevens in helping disadvantaged students succeed in college and their careers. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987182 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : November 16, 2001 File : a9987182 Award Number: 9987182 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Jane C.

Special effort in recruiting and selection is being given to individuals from groups underrepresented in engineering and those with disabilities. The CSEM scholarships are complementing and not replacing existing resources. METHODS: Recruitment includes the efforts of Marquette's nationally recognized Educational Opportunity Program, the Freshman Frontier Program, the Office of Disability Services, and the Student Financial Aid Office, as well as student organizations such as the National Society of Black Engineers, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Society of Women Engineers, and the Alpha Omega Epsilon engineering sorority. In addition, the scholarships are promoted in an orientation course required for all engineering sophomores. The project is retaining scholarship recipients through academic support services, counseling, and mentoring activities. Marquette's College of Engineering already enjoys a 5-year completion rate of 76% -- substantially above the 66% rate of comparable schools. The project provides ample career development and placement services to prepare scholars for the workplace. Marquette's scholarship recipients receives extensive application-oriented experiences to increase their understanding of workplace needs, and they are also advised to acquire engineering experience through co-op or internship experiences with business and industry, or by assisting in a faculty mentor's research. Marquette's co-op program is among the longest established programs in the U.S. Post-graduate surveys document the success of our placement efforts. IMPACT: The impact of engineering scholarships to promote full-time enrollment, coupled with mentoring, advising, and placement activities, is significant. There is a real need to promote entry by women and minorities into engineering programs. Scholarships, coupled with mentoring and advising activities, are improving retention and completion. Finally, scholarships at Marquette are prudent long-term investments: Marquette is a significant baccalaureate origin of Ph.D.s in the sciences (including engineering), ranking second among private Doctoral I universities from 1986-1995. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9986652 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : CSEM Scholars: Options in Mathematics and Computer Science Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : September 10, 2001 File : a9986652 Award Number: 9986652 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Jane C.

Much of the support will be gleaned from services already available within the University: services provided by Academic Learning Services, the Career Center, the Information Technology Curriculum, the Teaching Effectiveness Program, and the Office of Multicultural Affairs. The support will be delivered in the form of a required, integrated five quarter seminar sequence. The sequence will be organized and taught by the PI, with the liberal use of guest speakers to increase the students' contact with mentors, role models, and research advisers. In addition, the students will be required to take independent research or internship credit for at least one quarter. The goals of these curricular requirements are fourfold: (1) to introduce students to research and graduate school options; (2) to assist the students in career planning, internship placement, and securing post graduate employment; (3) to broaden the students' perspectives on Mathematics and Computer Science; and (4) to allow the students to develop presentation skills while providing outreach to other students potentially interested in pursuing math and computer science degrees. The sequence will include two new courses -- a Mentoring course and a Great Ideas course -- that could become a permanent part of the UO curriculum. The Mentoring course (cotaught with staff from the Careers Center) will introduce students to the use of informational interviews. The students will conduct interviews with professionals in their chosen field to assess their interest in specific careers and to "size up" organizations. Students can use the information they get to promote themselves to a prospective employer or to network, opening the door to future contacts and job possibilities. The course also gives students practice in presenting their findings and it gives them a chance to hear reports on all of the interviews, expanding their knowledge of related career paths. The Great Ideas course aims to broaden the students' view of Computer Science and Mathematics beyond the content of their required departmental courses. The course will consist of a series of distinguished, guest lectures from the Math and Computer Science faculty discussing the truly great ideas of the field. Topics will come from Computer Science, from Math, and from the bridges between the two fields. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 123219 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Scholarship Assistance for Technology Students (SATS) Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : September 21, 2001 File : a0123219 Award Number: 0123219 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Roger E.

To increase enrollment of academically talented but low income students in these fields, MCCC proposes a Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics (CSEMS) Scholarship Program to assist interested students in meeting both college costs and daily living expenses and attaining academic success. Two Principal Investigators, the Deans of Academic Affairs and of Student Affairs, will oversee the scholarship administration. Their selection committee comprised of faculty from relevant disciplines, financial aid and counseling will choose recipients based on their Pell eligibility as verified by Financial Aid, citizenship or qualified alien status, full time enrollment in associate degree in CSEMS programs, and 3.0 or higher college or high school grade point averages as verified by Admissions & Records. Applicants' descriptions of extra-curricular activities, employment, and reasons for choosing CSEMS programs will assist assessment of their motivation and potential. Assigned counselors will monitor progress and use of academic and student services and submit reports at the end of each semester to PIs who will certify continuing eligibility. Expected outcomes: increased enrollments of low income, academically talented students in CSEMS fields; enhanced persistence and performance; successful degree completion and direct application of learned skills in employment or through transfer; and ensured program continuation, will be measured by graduation rates, overall grade point averages, and success in obtaining employment in their field or transferring to four year institutions. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987199 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Academic Diversity in Computer Science Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : April 13, 2000 File : a9987199 Award Number: 9987199 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Robert W.

Each recipient receives an award equivalent to the cost of his/her full-time tuition and fees. The objective of the NSF Scholars Program is to provide a holistic model of student support, including guidance, mentoring, peer networking, financial assistance, and professional development to ensure the students' academic success, retention, shortened time to graduation, and permanent career opportunities in engineering and computer science after degree. The first cohort of students to begin the program in January 2000 is being recruited from the 160 upper division students who are already enrolled in the College of Engineering and Computer Science and meet the low-income and underrepresented eligibility focus, with future cohorts being recruited from outside the University as well. Potential recipients are selected based on their academic merit as well as on indicators of professional success. Each candidate fills out an application, submits letters of recommendation, and engages in a behavioral interview. Award recipients attend an orientation, participate in monthly meetings with all other NSF Scholars, meet with the Retention Counselor bi-weekly to assess academic progress, and take part in study groups and tutoring sessions, if necessary. In addition, program participants engage in a minimum number of hours of community service within the College to share their knowledge with lower-division students and reinforce their own skills. NSF scholars also pursue professional development by attending career guidance courses, resume writing and interviewing workshops, as well as a full-time paid co-op/internship placement for a semester with an industry sponsor in the student's field. One of the great strengths in the NSF Scholars Program is the dual financial support provided by NSF scholarships as well as paid co-op employment. Without having to work during the semester, students can concentrate on their studies, achieve academic success, and graduate sooner. This program clearly enables a greater number of students from groups historically underrepresented in Engineering and Computer Science to earn degrees in their fields of study. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 92637 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholars Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : May 14, 2001 File : a0092637 Award Number: 0092637 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Elizabeth Teles DUE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION EHR DIRECT FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Start Date : March 1, 2001 Expires : February 28, 2003 (Estimated) Expected Total Amt. : $270000 (Estimated) Investigator: Danny B.

The college is providing a student- support infrastructure through its Center for Science Excellence (CSE), thus facilitating the successful graduation of students with an associate- level degree and transfer to a four- year college or university. The college's student- support infrastructure coordinates formal study, work experience in science and technology, and various science- and technology- based activities through a social support system. It provides academic support in the form of mentoring, academic workshops, tutoring, internship opportunities, leadership development, scientific seminars, and field trips. Through active recruitment efforts in CSE and a competitive application process, the college is selecting 40 financially disadvantaged, academically talented students interested in computer science, engineering or mathematics who meet all the eligibility requirements. The scholarship awards are being distributed during the recipients' second year of enrollment at the College and during their first year of transfer. Scholarship recipients will enroll as full- time students, be expected to maintain a minimum 3.0 grade point average, and follow an educational plan prescribing a sequence of courses that is enabling them to graduate and transfer to a baccalaureate- granting institution. Experience shows that gaining access to a coordinated support system of mentoring, internships, and enrichment activities along with high academic expectations is an important contribution to students' success. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987055 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarships (CSEMS) Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : April 9, 2001 File : a9987055 Award Number: 9987055 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Elizabeth Teles DUE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION EHR DIRECT FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Start Date : February 15, 2000 Expires : January 31, 2004 (Estimated) Expected Total Amt. : $220000 (Estimated) Investigator: Donald F.

The UMass plan will increase the number of baccalaureate degrees in CSEM fields by recruiting fifty students for program participation generally during their junior and senior years. Particular attention will be paid to the recruitment of women, minorities and persons with disabilities. Talented, low-income students will be recruited from the community college transfer population and from upper-class students who have a reasonable expectation of graduating within two years (40 total). The UMass plan also provides a pipeline for the future by funding ten economically disadvantaged freshmen through University resources. The goal of recruiting, retaining and graduating 50 students will be accomplished through a faculty- driven, comprehensive program based on current research and best practices combining 1) recruitment, 2) financial support, 3) a carefully designed required course, 4) a special seminar activity and 5) academic and personal support facilities. All CSEMS program activities will be professionally evaluated. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 9987012 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : The CSEM Scholars Initiative Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : May 31, 2000 File : a9987012 Award Number: 9987012 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

The two colleges are partnering to provide scholarship assistance and other support services to students who have the academic and professional abilities to successfully complete an associate degree program, but who lack the financial resources to enroll full time. This project addresses the local and state-wise need for more engineering and computer technology graduates to support manufacturing industries in remaining competitive in the global marketplace. The primary target audience of the Scholars' Initiative is the pool of Pell-eligible students who are currently enrolled part time in degree programs but who lack the financial resources to enroll full time. A marketing campaign will also promote the scholarship program to local industries and to all incoming students at the partner colleges. An interview component of the evaluation process will provide important information regarding the effectiveness of scholarship programs in increasing retention and degree completion rates among low-income students. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 94255 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : The Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship Project Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : February 8, 2001 File : a0094255 Award Number: 0094255 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

The CSEMS project is being implemented at the partner colleges of Glendale Community College (GCC) and South Mountain Community College (SMCC), two schools who have led systemic reform initiatives in mathematics and science curriculum through the ACE (Achieving a College Education) Program. First implemented in the 1980's, these ACE 2+2+2 programs target low income, first generation, and minority students beginning in their sophomore year of high school and have been nationally- recognized for success in retaining "at risk", predominately Hispanic, students in the pipeline which leads to associate and baccalaureate degrees. The CSEMS project adapts from the ACE program these primary student support strategies: 1) Individual Education Plans (IEP); 2) academic support services (i.e., tutoring, study strategies); 3) faculty/industry representative mentors for students; 4) ongoing monitoring/tracking with early intervention services as required; 5) monthly special events/activities that provide student interaction with faculty/industry representatives and applicant ion-oriented experiences (i.e., field trip s to high tech workplaces);and 6) job placement services as appropriate. Project evaluation includes ongoing monitoring of performance outcomes, annual student/mentor surveys, and post-graduate placement of students in either jobs or continuing higher education programs. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 93024 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer and Engineering Technology Scholars Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : January 16, 2001 File : a0093024 Award Number: 0093024 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: Dennis E.

These majors are all considered advanced technology careers in the state of Pennsylvania. In addition to excellent career opportunities in the region for graduates, these programs offer transferability into baccalaureate programs at local four-year colleges. Working through the Affirmative Action Office of the college, multiple sources are used to contact interested young people, especially women and minorities. High school counselors, scout troops, church youth groups, a web site, and school and group presentations are some of the methods used for recruitment. Factors used by the scholarship selection committee are group diversity, financial need, grade point average (2.8 or higher for selection), letters of recommendation describing career potential, and commitment to career advancement. Working with the Financial Aid Office to build a complete package, the CET Scholars are awarded up to $2,500 per year toward their school expenses. Regardless of major, all CET Scholars complete a common one-year core of Technical Mathematics and Technical Physics designed specifically to enhance the use of these topics by the technology majors, encourage collaborative work, and to stress mastery of conceptual topics. A unique feature of the program is that all CET Scholars complete an external Work Keys Assessment Process. This assessment certifies, to the student, the employer, the school and the funding agencies, the quality of the education and training received. National Work Key Assessment Profiles are available for the careers being targeted by this project. --------------- (cut here) -------------- Award 91469 begins... --------------- (cut here) -------------- Title : Computer Science and Engineering Technology Scholars Program Type : Award NSF Org : DUE Latest Amendment Date : December 29, 2000 File : a0091469 Award Number: 0091469 Award Instr.: Standard Grant Prgm Manager: ELIZABETH TELES DUE DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION EHR DIRECT FOR EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES Start Date : January 1, 2001 Expires : August 31, 2002 (Estimated) Expected Total Amt. : $270000 (Estimated) Investigator: Charles Blinka wblinka@tstc.edu (Principal Investigator current) Carliss Hyde (Co-Principal Investigator current) Sponsor : Texas St Tech Coll Waco Waco, TX 76705 817/799-3611 NSF Program : 1536 CSEMS--CS, ENG & MATH SCHOLAR Fld Applictn: 0000099 Other Applications NEC Abstract : The Computer Science and Engineering Technology (CSET) Scholars program is providing scholarships in computer science and engineering technologies, with special consideration to underrepresented groups (women and minorities) from the community's federally designated enterprise community and state designated enterprise zone. Participants are pursuing associate of applied science degrees in webmastering, e- commerce, computer programming, computer networking, computer maintenance, digital media design, electrical and computerized control systems, robotics, laser electro- optics, chemical technology, semiconductor manufacturing, biomedical equipment, medical imaging, facilities maintenance engineering, drafting and design, manufacturing engineering, machine shop operations, and other applied engineering programs. Program objectives are recruitment of qualified students, implementation of support systems to aid in retaining students once enrolled, course instruction, and job placement upon graduation. A support system provides mentoring and tutoring services to CSET Scholars, with additional support as required provided by the Deaf and Disabled Student Services Office and the Women's Resource Center. Participants meet biweekly with a small advisory committee comprised of representatives of these campus support offices, with each meeting designed to address unmet needs and troubleshoot problems which may be preventing the CSET Scholar from achieving success in his or her area of study. Job placement at the program's conclusion is being facilitated through the major course of study, as each department has an industrial advisory committee and other liaisons with industry which assist with graduate employment. Evaluation of program success is based on grade point average, attendance, completion rates, survey responses, and graduation placement. --------------- (cut here) --------------
