A highly successful minority outreach and support program for incoming college freshmen in engineering is described. The University of Washington has been running ALVA (Alliances for Learning and Vision for underrepresented Americans) for 11 years and continuously tracks its participants. Partners in ALVA come from the government, education, and industry. This program targets talented underrepresented minority students and addresses four major hurdles that face minority students in engineering: lack of vision of themselves as an engineer, finances, community, and academic preparation. We will present ALVA as a model that can be duplicated at other colleges and universities.
描述了一个非常成功的针对工程专业大学新生的少数族裔外展和支持计划。华盛顿大学(University of Washington)运营ALVA(面向弱势美国人的学习与愿景联盟)已有11年，并持续跟踪其参与者。ALVA的合作伙伴来自政府、教育和工业。该项目针对有才华但未被充分代表的少数族裔学生，并解决了少数族裔学生在工程专业面临的四大障碍:缺乏作为工程师的愿景、财务、社区和学术准备。我们将把ALVA作为一个可以在其他学院和大学复制的模式。
