Computer Science (31), Engineering - Engineering Technology (58), Engineering - Other (59) The Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC) at Cleveland State University (CSU) is administering scholarship support to 40 engineering, engineering technology, and computer science students from CSU and three area community colleges. 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.

计算机科学 (31)、工程 - 工程技术 (58)、工程 - 其他 (59) 克利夫兰州立大学 (CSU) 的先进制造中心 (AMC) 正在为来自以下国家的 40 名工程、工程技术和计算机科学专业的学生提供奖学金支持：科罗拉多州立大学和三所地区社区学院。 AMC-NSF 工程和计算机科学职业奖学金预计将有 15 名获得副学士学位的社区学院学生和 25 名获得工程、工程技术或计算机科学学士学位的科罗拉多州立大学学生毕业。招聘工作特别致力于增加上述目标专业中女性、少数民族和残疾人的数量。所有奖学金获得者在学年期间每周在科罗拉多州立大学先进制造中心 (AMC) 参加 20 个小时的以应用为导向的工作体验，在夏季期间每周参加 40 个小时。 AMC 经验的独特之处之一是其赞助的工业项目具有跨学科、全周期的性质。工业公司带着实际问题来到 AMC，教职员工和学生共同努力为这些问题找到解决方案。学生学习从想法的构思到产品或过程的完成的制造和技术工程。 AMC 学生的工作质量导致 100% 的 AMC 学生获得工作机会。该奖学金计划有几个突出的特点。首先，通过将地区社区学院纳入合作伙伴，鼓励可能停留在副学士学位水平的学生在四年制院校完成学业。其次，科罗拉多州立大学招收的非全日制学生有动力去全日制学习，从而提高保留率和毕业时间。第三，NSF 的 2,500 美元拨款为有经济需要的转学生和非全日制学生提供高达 15,400 美元的经济援助；这是联邦投资的非常高的回报率。最后，参加实习作为接受奖学金的要求是​​科罗拉多州立大学的一种新做法，并且有可能涵盖其他科罗拉多州立大学奖学金项目。 克利夫兰地区的制造商还可以获得通过先进制造中心实习学到的技术和管理技能的高素质毕业生。
