大学生存技能

许多进入大学的学生发现它与高中非常不同，有时他们需要几个学期才能弄清楚如何在大学取得成功。 For students who wanted to increase their potential to do well in college, 布鲁克林学院 offered a select number of students interested in mathematics and the sciences a chance to participate in the Unified Science Bridge (USB) program, a free six-week summer “college survival” program that offered many benefits. 该项目于2015年夏季结束。

USB students took a free three-credit college mathematics course focusing on problem solving and applications of mathematics to the sciences. They also learned how to negotiate the 布鲁克林学院 campus and the offices and resources that support college success. 在9月份USB学生开始上课之前，团队建设的经历让他们形成了熟悉的学生群体，所以他们进入大学时已经有了朋友和支持者。 该课程侧重于如何思考科学领域的职业选择，以及如何规划大学学业，以便学生在毕业后有最大的机会在科学领域的研究生或专业职业或工作中取得成功。

Students who participated in USB in the past gave it high marks for giving them a great start in college; see what they had to say 在这里 (video).

USB的特点

• 这是一门以学生为中心的动态课程，免费，三学分，强调合作解决问题，即使对已经学过高中微积分的学生来说，也值得作为坚实的数学基础。
• 数学-科学链接- MS-Link特别为理科生设计，帮助学生学习如何将相关的数学概念应用于实际的科学问题。
• Orientation and Team Building—Get to know the 布鲁克林学院 campus so you know the “who, what, w在这里, when, and why” of navigating your way as a college student. The “Accessing 布鲁克林学院” activities employ real-life case studies that develop strategies to help students learn how to resolve common college-level problems.
• 职业探索项目——学生们往往没有意识到，对科学感兴趣的学生有很多赚钱又有趣的职业可供选择。 The Career Exploration Project broadens students’ perspectives about the many options open to students who study mathematics and science.
• 实地考察——在城市周围的考察，目的是在实际中探索科学。
• 免费的午餐!
