eecs-stem-outreach

Resources for outreach and broadening participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), including electrical/computer engineering and computer science (EECS).

It includes information about scholarships and fellowships for studying at institutions of higher education (i.e., colleges and universities), including studying abroad.

It includes other resources for broadening participation of women and people from underrepresented groups (including disabled people).

To Be Extended Over Time

• Educational resources from the film, “Dream Big: Engineering Our World”. Additional resources
• Center for Computer Science Education & Outreach
• Institute for Broadening Participation (IBP)
  • It has a lot of resources for increasing diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
  • E.g., it has programs for children and youth in K-12 (Kindergarten, and Grades 1-12).
  • For high school students, there are paid internships for them.
  • Resources concerning computer science (and computer engineering)
• P.O. Pistilli Undergraduate Scholarship
  • “Supported by the Design Automation Conference which ACM/SIGDA sponsors, the objective of the P. O. Pistilli Scholarship is to increase the pool of professionals in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from underrepresented groups (Women, African American, Hispanic, American Indian, and Disabled). Scholarships of $4000 per year, renewable for up to 5 years, are awarded annually to 2-7 high school seniors from the above mentioned under represented groups who have a 3.00 GPA or better (on a 4.00 scale), have demonstrated high achievement in math and science courses, have expressed a strong desire to pursue careers in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science, and who have demonstrated substantial financial need. U.S. citizenship is not required, but applicants must be U.S. residents when they apply and must plan to attend an accredited US college or university.”
  • More details about the P.O. Pistilli Undergraduate Scholarship is annually provided on the Web page of the Design Automation Conference (DAC)
    • In 2019, it is located at: https://www.dac.com/content/po-pistilli-undergraduate-scholarship-0
