Awarding S-STEM Scholarships to Current StudentsAbstractLamar University in Beaumont, Texas was awarded an NSF S-STEM grant “Industrial andMechanical Engineering Scholars with Scholarships, Career Mentoring, Outreach andAdvisement, Professional Societies and Engineering Learning Community (SCOPE) S-STEMProgram” in 2015. Unlike most scholarship programs that target incoming students, thisscholarship targets enrolled students who have demonstrated successful progress towards aMechanical Engineering or Industrial Engineering degree by having minimum grades of B inCalculus I, Calculus II and Physics I and an overall GPA of at least 3.0. The SCOPE programrequires scholarship recipients to be an active member of the

Affecting the Future Career Pathway Decisions of Lower-income Computing Students1. IntroductionWithin research on broadening participation in computing, the experience and perspectives ofundergraduate students have been important elements of exploration. As undergraduate studentsare experts of their own experience, conducting research that focuses on understanding theirperspective can help those who organize programmatic efforts to respond to student needs andconcerns. This paper emerges from the context of a specific National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program.As with all S-STEM programs, Florida Information Technology Graduation

The five-daysummer camp consisted of hands-on activities, tours of different laboratories in ECE disciplines,and a group project that spanned the whole week where students built circuits using theSparkFun Inventor’s kit. During the group activity, the students were organized into eightgroups, and each group was mentored by an undergraduate mentor who facilitated thecollaborative hands-on activities.

, Retaining and Graduating More Women in Computer Science and Math Abstract We report on the CS/M Scholars Program which is supported by an NSF S-STEM grant that began in 2011. The program aims to increase the number of women graduating with degrees in Computer Science or Mathematics. It is well known that women are under- represented in these fields nationally and this is also the case at our university. Our efforts include targeted recruitment of female high school students with a record of academic achievement and leadership potential. In addition to providing scholarships, student success is bolstered by required first-year seminars, early advising, and monthly events focused on professional

By the time students reach college, 1 in 5 young menplan on majoring in engineering or computing while only 1 in 17 young women declare the same[3]. Since 1990, the percentage of female computing professionals dropped from 35% to about24% today, and if that trend continues, the share of women in the nation’s computing workforcewill decline to 22% by 2025 according to Girls Who Code [4].
