(CPEP), is a collaboration of school districts, businesses, colleges, universities, government and community organizations whose mission and program efforts are aimed at increasing the pool of African-American, Hispanic, Native-American Indian, Asian American, Women and other under-represented minority students who pursue mathematics, science, engineering and other technological based college study and careers. CPEP provides enrichment programs and activities throughout the year in New Haven. Since 1987, CPEP has sponsored summer enrichment programs designed to motivate and stimulate middle school and high school students to pursue careers in mathematics, science, engineering and other technology related fields. Through the Summer Enrichment Program, CPEP has been able to better prepare under-represented and urban students with skills that will facilitate their accessing colleges and professionals careers. The essential premise of the program design and academic content is that targeted students must be taught and nurtured as to develop their self-confidence and personal ambitions so that they can seriously plan for and commit to college-level studies. The program stresses multi-disciplinary hands-on science and mathematics experience, group learning and research, and career exploration and academic guidance. Students study under the direction of school teachers and role model undergraduate students. Weekly field trips to industrial sites, science centers and the shoreline are included in this program.

This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This PREP was designed to increase participation in the University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (UMTYMP) of female students and students of color. Summer enrichment institutes were followed by a series of monthly half-day academic-year programs designed for females and students of color in their first year of UMTYMP. This post-intervention program was designed to support these students in their early experiences in UMTYMP. The first year of the DOE PREP program operated during the 1993--94 academic year. NSF and the Bush Foundation provided additional support for the pre-intervention project. Students invited to participate in the academic year enrichment program included females, students of color and economically disadvantages students who nearly qualified for the UMTYMP program in the spring, summer, and fall 1993 tests; current UMTYMP Alternative course students; and other students identified through community or school contacts. The summer enrichment institute was a four-week non-residential summer program for students interested in exploring mathematics enrichment topics and mathematics-related careers, who were entering grades 6 through 8 and were from populations traditionally underrepresented in mathematics and science related fields. The institute consisted of two two-week sessions. Activities and curriculum were designed to engage students in mathematics using hands-on, investigative and discovery approaches to learning. The central mathematical themes emphasized were geometry, probability and statistics, visualization, approximation and estimation. A portion of the first two weeks of the Institute focused on career awareness and the connection of math and science to real world applications. The last two weeks of the summer the institute focused on geometry and made extensive use of the NSF sponsored Geometry Center.

Download or read book Creating a College written by Edmond L. Volpe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003-08-22 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating a College is a collection of President Volpes annual addresses on the state of the College of Staten Island. They constitute a history of the early years of the College, which was established in 1976 by the merger of an upper division institution, Richmond College and Staten Island Community College. The fiscal collapse of New York City in 1975 led to the unification of the two City University of New York institutions on Staten Island. The complex process of merging two disparate institutions, with differing missions and educational philosophies at two locations, miles apart, during a period of severe fiscal constraint is recorded in these eighteen addresses. Such a merger has been a rare occurrence in American higher education. Its end result was the creation of a new type of institution, the comprehensive college.
Download or read book Changing the Face of Engineering written by John Brooks Slaughter and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can academic institutions, corporations, and policymakers foster African American participation and advancement in engineering? For much of America’s history, African Americans were discouraged or aggressively prevented from becoming scientists and engineers. Those who did enter STEM fields found that their inventions and discoveries were often neither recognized nor valued. Even today, particularly in the field of engineering, the participation of African American men and women is shockingly low, and some evidence indicates that the situation might be getting worse. In Changing the Face of Engineering, twenty-four eminent scholars address the underrepresentation of African Americans in engineering from a wide variety of disciplinary and professional perspectives while proposing workable classroom solutions and public policy initiatives. They combine robust statistical analyses with personal narratives of African American engineers and STEM instructors who, by taking evidenced-based approaches, have found success in graduating African American engineers. Changing the Face of Engineering argues that the continued underrepresentation of African Americans in engineering impairs the ability of the United States to compete successfully in the global marketplace. This volume will be of interest to STEM scholars and students, as well as policymakers, corporations, and higher education institutions.
