This four-year project increases educational opportunities at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) for low-income, academically talented students by providing scholarships and supplemental academic and student support services for 36 full-time students in bachelor's degree programs in computer science (CMSC), mathematics and statistics (MATH), chemical engineering (ENCH), mechanical engineering (ENME), computer engineering (CMPE), and information systems (IFSM). Support services include peer mentoring, faculty advisement, tutoring, a one-week summer orientation and career identification experience, and informal learning opportunities. This model is one that builds upon the program success of the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) CSEMS project which began in summer 2001 and is going to provide a doorway for easy transfer for CCBC's computer science, engineering and mathematics CSEMS students to UMBC's quality four-year programs.Objectives include the recruitment, enrollment, graduation, and work placement of increased numbers of students, particularly underrepresented groups. Women are targeted as they are both underrepresented in computer science and engineering programs and over-represented in the pool of economically disadvantaged students at UMBC. The project also fosters an informal consortium relationship between UMBC and CCBC. An independent external evaluator oversees the project and provides data analysis on all measurable outcomes.

这个为期四年的项目为 36 名攻读计算机科学学士学位课程的全日制学生提供奖学金以及补充学术和学生支持服务，从而增加马里兰大学巴尔的摩郡分校 (UMBC) 低收入学术才华学生的教育机会（CMSC）、数学与统计学（MATH）、化学工程（ENCH）、机械工程（ENME）、计算机工程（CMPE）和信息系统（IFSM）。支持服务包括同伴指导、教师建议、辅导、为期一周的暑期培训和职业识别体验以及非正式学习机会。该模型建立在巴尔的摩县社区学院 (CCBC) CSEMS 项目成功的基础上，该项目于 2001 年夏季启动，将为 CCBC 的计算机科学、工程和数学 CSEMS 学生轻松转学到 UMBC 的质量提供一个途径。四年制项目。目标包括招募、入学、毕业和增加学生数量，特别是代表性不足的群体的工作安置。女性成为目标是因为她们在计算机科学和工程项目中的代表性不足，而在 UMBC 的经济弱势学生群体中所占比例过高。该项目还促进 UMBC 和 CCBC 之间建立非正式的联盟关系。独立的外部评估员监督该项目并提供所有可衡量结果的数据分析。
