Intellectual MeritThis project is attacking the problem of low enrollment and success rates of Latinos and women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses and majors on two levels. First, it is improving college-level preparedness of entering freshmen students; and second, it is expanding academic support services to students in STEM "gatekeeper" courses -- courses essential for transfer to further education in any STEM field.Broader ImpactsMeasurable Objectives. The five year project objectives are to increase:__ The number of students enrolling in STEM courses, generally;__The number of Latino and women students enrolling in STEM courses;__Success rates for Latinos and women in STEM courses who participate in the project;__The number of Latino and women students achieving STEM AS degrees;__The number of Latino and women students transferring to four year schools in STEM majors.Methods. Based on documented, successful models, the project is creating a new summer bridge program for incoming freshmen and expanding supplemental instruction (SI) for current students. In addition, the project has created special academic supports for women in science: mentors and a seminar speaker series to showcase role models. The project builds on, links, and leverages previous and existing support that has recently improved the infrastructure of the College's STEM programs, including facilities, equipment, faculty, curriculum, and instructional materials. It is also addressing the needs of high tech local industry for qualified technological professionals in a broad range of occupations.

知识分子的项目正在攻击拉丁美洲人和妇女在科学，技术，工程和数学课程中的入学率和成功率低的问题，并在两个层面上进行了专业。首先，它正在改善大学级别进入新生学生的准备。其次，它正在扩大对STEM“看门人”课程中的学生的学术支持服务 - 在任何STEM领域转移到进一步教育至关重要的课程。五年的项目目标是增加：__通常； __ __ __ __拉丁裔和女学生的数量参加STEM课程； __参加该项目的拉丁裔和女性的成功率； __参加该项目的STEM课程； __拉丁美洲人和妇女的学生人数为seg; __ __ __ __ __ __; __;基于有记录的成功模型，该项目正在创建一个新的夏季桥梁计划，用于新生和扩大当前学生的补充教学（SI）。此外，该项目还为女性在科学领域创造了特殊的学术支持：导师和研讨会演讲者系列，以展示榜样。该项目建立在链接，链接和利用以前和现有的支持，这些支持最近改善了学院STEM计划的基础设施，包括设施，设备，教职员工，课程和教学材料。它还正在满足高科技本地工业对合格技术专业人员的需求。
