With support from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program), this pilot project aims to build math capacity at San Diego State University-Imperial Valley (SDSU-IV) and enhance undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education by developing and analyzing a Summer Bridge Math Experience (SBME) to newly admitted students who have math/statistics course requirements. The format of the SBME will be a four-day summer bridge program with two major components: 1) math workshops and 2) campus-life orientation/career introductory field trips. The mission of the program is to assist students with their math preparation and adjustment of both academic and student life at SDSU-IV through workshops, activities, resources, and various experiences which prepare them for their successful academic and social transition to the University. Assessments will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in increasing students’ math confidence level and for program improvement. Enrollment information and future course success will be used to evaluate program impact. The SBME at SDSU-IV will 1) bridge the community STEM workforce shortfalls and equity gaps, 2) maximize students' STEM and mathematics confidence, and 3) align STEM program outcomes with workforce needs. In addition, it will benefit society by improving the STEM education quality for underrepresented groups, at SDSU-IV directly, and bridge the gap between their desire for more diversified career choices and local community needs at Imperial Valley.The primary goals of this project are to 1) provide an effective math learning experience, 2) facilitate a smooth first-year transition to the university environment, 3) connect newly admitted students to the SDSU-IV community by helping them build their support network (e.g. academic and student support services) to ultimately increase retention and college completion, 4) spark general STEM interest, and 5) attract minority students to enroll into the new B.A. in Mathematics. In addition, the program will help students: assume responsibility for their learning both in and out of the classroom; acquire academic, personal, and social skills essential to success in college and beyond; develop effective communication skills; establish a supportive cohort with fellow students; and gain campus knowledge to readily identify faculty, staff, and campus resources. Through targeted recruitment activities, the program will seek to increase STEM enrollments of underrepresented populations including women and students of color. Results from the project will inform activities at the University, but also improve STEM recruitment and retention activities across similar institutions that are rural HSIs and attend to economically disadvantaged, and geographically marginalized populations, particularly the US-Mexico border states. This HSI Program aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education and build capacity at HSIs. Projects supported by the HSI Program will also generate new knowledge on how to achieve these aims.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在改进的SERTEM教育（HSI计划）的支持下，该试点项目旨在通过开发和分析来开发和分析，以在圣地亚哥州立大学 - 帝国山谷（SDSU-IV）（SDSU-IV）进行数学ITY，并增强地下科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）夏季数学经验（SBME）向新录取的学生NTS。该计划是通过研讨会，活动，资源和各种经验来衡量学生的数学和调整。并改进了计划的影响。直接在SDSU-IV上提高您的STEM教育质量，并直接在SDSU-IV上，弥合他们的愿望之间的差距，这是帝国谷地的各种Caoice S和当地社区的需求。该项目的主要目标是1）提供有效的数学学习经验，2）通过帮助建立支持网络（例如学术和学生支持服务），将新录取的学生与SDSU-IV社区联系到SDSU-IV社区，以最终增加保留和大学Colege完成Spark Spark STEM，将新录取的学生与SDSUIV社区联系起来兴趣，5）在课堂上学习的责任；有色人种。关于如何实现这一目标的Genowledge。该奖项反映了NSF的弗里任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评论标准来支持Torough评估的。
