BOREALIS - Abstract ”Engineering has a persistent diversity challenge,” states a recent National Academies report. The most impactful science comes from diverse teams working together, and diversity in the STEM workplace improves work engagement and performance, enhances the quality of research and provision of health care, and promotes innovation. The current homogeneity in engineering, both regionally at Clarkson University (CU) and nationally, motivates the BiOengineering Research Education to AcceLerate Innovation in STEM (BOREALIS) Scholars program, and inspires Clarkson’s equity-minded approach to better engage sociodemographically diverse regional students. To address these opportunities, BOREALIS is designed to recruit and enroll three cohorts of five sociodemographically diverse students (including Black and Indigenous People of Color and students with disabilities) especially from the rural, economically depressed North Country region of New York State, and educate, encourage, and support them to enter the bioengineering workforce via pursuit of graduate study in bioengineering. Students from the North Country often face challenges entering STEM fields and building scientific identities, such as scant academic preparation, an unwelcoming atmosphere from faculty, and navigating intersectionality of identities. Through a series of integrated and complementary educational experiences—(1) a summer bridge program; (2) first- and second- academic year activities; and (3) summer research experiences—combined with evidence-based mentor and mentee training, CU will foster BOREALIS Scholars’ successful transition into and completion of the Honors Program, positioning them to pursue graduate school in bioengineering or a related field. This new pathway leverages existing resources for student success. The research education plan includes new initiatives for student success during the first undergraduate years, and faculty training in and use of inclusive pedagogy and effective mentoring. The BOREALIS Scholars program at CU represents one small step towards maintaining America’s scientific leadership by investing in sociodemographically diverse students from the North Country. By the conclusion of the project, we will have: (1) created an evidence-based mentored portal and pathway for research-curious students to explore biomedical engineering early in their undergraduate career and (2) built and sustained cohorts of sociodemographically diverse students from rural backgrounds engaged in biomedical science and engineering research, leading to (3) an increase in the number of rural, diverse students pursuing bioengineering graduate study. These three aims will enable our goal of increasing the number of rural, diverse students pursuing bioengineering graduate school after CU.

北极 - 摘要 一位国家科学院报告说：“工程持续的多样性挑战。”最多 有影响力的科学来自参与共同努力的潜水团队，STEM工作场所的多样性有所改善 工作参与和绩效，提高研究和提供医疗保健的质量，以及 促进创新。目前在克拉克森大学（CU）区域工程领域的同质性和 在全国范围内，激励生物工程研究教育加速STEM的创新（Borealis） 学者计划，并激发克拉克森的股票意识方法以更好地参与社会人口统计学 潜水区域学生。为了解决这些机会，北方利旨在招募和注册三个 五个社交人口统计学上多样化的学生（包括有色人种和土著人， 残疾学生）尤其是来自纽约北国北国地区的粗糙，经济沮丧的地区 通过追求研究生来陈述和教育，鼓励和支持他们进入生物工程劳动力 研究生物工程。来自北国国家的学生经常面临进入STEM领域的挑战， 建立科学身份，例如学术准备很少，教师的不受欢迎的氛围， 并导航身份的交叉性。通过一系列综合和完整的教育 经验 - （1）夏季桥梁计划； （2）第一和第二学年的活动； （3）夏天 研究经验与循证导师和MENET培训相结合，CU将培养北方 学者成功地过渡到荣誉计划，将其定位为购买 生物工程或相关领域的研究生院。这种新的途径利用了学生的现有资源 成功。研究教育计划包括在第一个方面为学生成功的新举措 本科生，以及在包容性教学法和有效心理上的教师培训和使用。 CU的北方学者计划是维持美国科学的一小步 通过投资于北国的社会人口统计学多样化的学生的领导才能。根据结论 该项目，我们将拥有：（1）创建了一个基于证据的Mendored门户网站和研究很有趣的途径 学生在本科生涯的早期探索生物医学工程，（2）建造和持续 来自从事生物医学科学和 工程研究，导致（3）追求的艰难，潜水员的学生人数增加 生物工程研究生研究。这三个目标将使我们的目标能够增加粗糙的潜水员数量 CU毕业后攻读生物工程研究生院的学生。
