This National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) project at the University of New Mexico will provide scholarships and support services to academically-talented students who are pursuing degrees in engineering and computer science and who demonstrate financial need. This project is called Thematic Scholarships in Engineering Education (SEE): A Project Focused on Retention and Graduation through Student Support and Career/Professional Development. The students will include both first-year students and students transferring from community colleges. A total of 24 students will be supported each year. The scholars will participate in one of four learning communities created around the topics of Bioengineering, Green/Renewable Energies, High-Tech Materials, and Aerospace Engineering. Talented engineering graduates skilled in these areas of emerging technology help US industries to compete and innovate in a global economy.The Thematic Scholarships in Engineering Education Project will identify, select, and evaluate talented students entering engineering or computer science majors. The program will provide academic support services such as advising, mentoring, and tutoring to ensure that the S-STEM program students maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students will participate in at least one learning community in areas of technological focus within the College of Engineering. The learning communities will be directed by faculty members with expertise in the learning community topic. Activities will include discussion groups and guest speakers. Students have the option of participating in research experiences or internships with industry. Professional career development will form an integral part of the program. These activities foster student progress and interest in their chosen fields of study. Program assessment will monitor participant need, the type and amount of services to meet that need, and semester goals and objectives. Lessons learned and best practices that emerge from the program evaluation data will be disseminated widely to the engineering education community and help enlarge the knowledge base regarding attributes and practices of successful scholarship programs of this type.

这项国家科学基金会（NSF）在新墨西哥大学的科学，技术，工程和数学（S-STEM）项目（S-STEM）项目（S-STEM）奖学金将为攻读工程和计算机科学学位的学术界学生提供奖学金和支持服务，并表现出财务需求。该项目被称为工程教育的主题奖学金（请参阅）：一个专注于通过学生支持和职业/专业发展毕业的项目。学生将包括一年级学生和从社区大学转学的学生。每年将为24名学生提供支持。 学者将参加围绕生物工程，绿色/可再生能源，高科技材料和航空航天工程创建的四个学习社区之一。在这些新兴技术领域中熟练的才华横溢的工程毕业生可以帮助我们的行业在全球经济中竞争和创新。 该计划将提供学术支持服务，例如建议，指导和辅导，以确保S-STEM计划学生保持令人满意的学业进步。 学生将在工程学院的技术重点领域中至少参加一个学习社区。 学习社区将由具有专业知识的教职员工指导。活动将包括讨论小组和演讲嘉宾。学生可以选择参加研究经验或行业实习。职业发展将成为该计划不可或缺的一部分。这些活动促进了学生对所选研究领域的进步和兴趣。 计划评估将监控参与者的需求，满足需求的服务类型和数量以及学期的目标。从计划评估数据中出现的经验教训和最佳实践将被广泛传播到工程教育社区，并有助于扩大有关此类成功奖学金计划的属性和实践的知识库。
