<Title>Mechanical Engineering S-STEM Scholarship Program Retreat</Title>
<Tagline>Introducing new scholars and their mentors</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span>The Mechanical Engineering S-STEM program held the S-STEM fall retreat for our new scholars and their mentors in the Department. The S-STEM scholars had the opportunity to meet their mentors and introduce themselves to each other. The Program Director, Dr. Liang Zhu, gave an overview of the program, including the special features of the scholarship program and expectations. Dr. Anne Spence and Dr. Charles Eggleton led discussions with the scholars on motivations for being interested in the mechanical engineering program, tutoring service, research experience activities, and departmental support for the scholarship program. Later, participants had lunch with each other and exchanged information for future contact.

<Title>NSF continues to support the ME S-STEM Scholarship Program</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">We are glad to announce that the National Science Foundation (NSF) will continue to support the Mechanical Engineering S-STEM Scholarship Program via an S-STEM grant for the next four years. This is a renewal grant building on the success of the current Mechanical Engineering S-STEM Scholarship Program in the past four years.  It is highly competitive to get funded by this program at NSF.  We thank all faculty and staff, as well as past ME S-STEM scholars for their hard work in the past four years, so that we are able to convince the NSF reviewers the technical merits and broad impacts of our program.  <div><br></div><div>Information on the program information, past activities, and scholar feedback can be found on our website (me-stem.umbc.edu).
