This project is awarding scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students in the university's accelerated BS/Graduate engineering program. The students are completing an interdisciplinary educational and research program with an emphasis in engineering analysis, modeling, simulation, design, and control in one of three areas, namely, energy systems, biomedical systems, or aerospace systems. The S-STEM scholarship allows students to complete a non-thesis graduate program or to conduct research in an area of personal interest, rather than in an area of available funding. Women and students from underrepresented groups are being especially targeted for support. The students are participating in mentoring activities with faculty as part of their graduate program. Support structures previously in place at the university aimed only at undergraduates are now including a graduate component. Alumni and industry leaders in the region are also serving as role models to the students in the program, providing seminars and employment opportunities.

该项目正在向大学加速的BS/研究生工程计划中的学术才华和经济上有需要的学生授予奖学金。学生正在完成一个跨学科的教育和研究计划，重点是工程分析，建模，模拟，设计和控制三个领域之一，即能源系统，生物医学系统或航空航天系统。 S-STEM奖学金允许学生完成非论文研究生课程或在个人感兴趣的领域进行研究，而不是在可用资金的领域中进行。来自代表性不足的群体的妇女和学生特别针对支持。作为研究生课程的一部分，学生们正在与教师一起参加指导活动。以前仅针对本科生的大学的支持结构现在包括研究生组成部分。该地区的校友和行业领导者也为该计划的学生提供了榜样，提供了研讨会和就业机会。
