This project will contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by supporting the retention and graduation of high-achieving, low-income students with demonstrated financial need at Syracuse University. Over its one-year duration, this project will develop plans to create new pathways for recruitment of talented students into our programs and a cohort-based experience to recruit, retain, holistically support, and graduate academically talented, low-income students from central New York state (CNY) into the regional STEM workforce. A goal of this work is to build robust partnerships between community colleges, Syracuse University, and STEM employers in central New York state to improve the retention of diverse and skilled talent in the CNY region, meet the significantly growing demands of local industry, and improve the socioeconomic mobility of those who have been historically excluded from careers in STEM.The overall goal of this project is to increase STEM degree completion of low-income, high-achieving undergraduates with demonstrated financial need. There are five specific aims: 1) build capacity and strengthen partnerships among Syracuse University, Onondaga Community College (OCC), Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC), and other community colleges in the CNY region in support of a 2025 Track 3 S-STEM proposal; 2) conduct a comprehensive needs assessment across all partner institutions and utilize the outcomes to determine the best ways to support low-income engineering students at their two-year college, during their transition, and throughout their time at Syracuse; 3) formalize transfer articulation agreements with OCC, MVCC, and other CCs in the Central New York region directly into ECS programs at SU; 4) develop industry partnerships with Micron and other regional employers by working through the Manufacturers Association of Central New York (MACNY) and the Technology Alliance of Central New York (TACNY); and 5) develop an educational research plan for the Track 3 proposal that will contribute to understanding how a scholarship-based cohort model with a focus on workforce development can improve outcomes for low-income community college transfer students in engineering. Investigators will use an anti-deficit achievement framework to study the needs of community college and transfer students to learn about their lived experience, their attitudes related to persistence and degree completion, and to uncover perceived barriers to their success. This project is funded by NSF’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program, which seeks to increase the number of low-income academically talented students with demonstrated financial need who earn degrees in STEM fields. It also aims to improve the education of future STEM workers, and to generate knowledge about academic success, retention, transfer, graduation, and academic/career pathways of low-income students.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.

该项目将通过支持雪城大学保留和毕业有经济需求的成绩优异的低收入学生，满足国家对受过良好教育的科学家、数学家、工程师和技术人员的需求。该项目将制定计划，为招募有才华的学生进入我们的项目创造新的途径，并提供基于队列的经验，以招募、留住、全面支持和毕业来自纽约州中部 (CNY) 的有学术才华的低收入学生进入美国大学。区域STEM这项工作的目标是在社区学院、雪城大学和纽约州中部的 STEM 雇主之间建立牢固的合作伙伴关系，以提高纽约地区多样化和技能型人才的保留率，满足当地工业显着增长的需求。提高那些历来被排除在 STEM 职业之外的人的社会经济流动性。该项目的总体目标是提高具有经济需求的低收入、成绩优异的本科生的 STEM 学位完成率，具体目标有五个：1。 ) 建设能力并加强伙伴关系雪城大学、奥农达加社区学院 (OCC)、莫霍克谷社区学院 (MVCC) 和 CNY 地区的其他社区学院支持 2025 年第 3 轨 S-STEM 提案 2) 对所有合作机构进行全面的需求评估；利用这些结果来确定支持低收入工程学生在两年制大学、过渡期间以及在雪城大学期间的最佳方式；3) 与 OCC、MVCC 正式签订转学衔接协议，和纽约中部地区的其他 CC 直接加入 SU 的 ECS 计划；4) 通过纽约中部制造商协会 (MACNY) 和纽约中部技术联盟 (TACNY) 与美光和其他地区雇主建立行业合作伙伴关系)；5) 为第三轨提案制定一项教育研究计划，该计划将有助于了解研究人员将如何使用以劳动力发展为重点的基于奖学金的队列模型来改善低收入社区大学转学生的成果。一个反赤字成就框架研究社区大学和转学生的需求，了解他们的生活经历、他们对坚持和学位完成的态度，并发现他们成功的障碍。该项目由美国国家科学基金会科学奖学金资助。技术、工程和数学项目，旨在增加具有经济需求的低收入学术天才学生获得 STEM 领域学位的数量，它还旨在改善未来 STEM 工作者的教育，并产生学术知识。成功、保留、转移、该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
