The College of Engineering at Iowa State University (ISU) will undertake a comprehensive approach to attract more highly qualified minority engineering students through implementation of two well coordinated programs: the Minority Scholars Program and the Visiting Minority Scholars Program. The College will coordinate efforts of research professors, minority recruitment officers, mentors, industrial and research institutions, and other organizations in order to achieve the goal of generating, among outstanding minority students, long-term interest in and dedication to research. It is anticipated that this research involvement will significantly enhance opportunities for involved minority students to continue their education through advanced degree programs (M.S. and Ph.D.). The Minority Scholar Program will greatly enhance the current minority programs at ISU. In addition, the programs leverage the already strong commitment of ISU to minority education. Specifically, well established minority recruitment and retention programs will be fully utilized. However, the supported effort will focus on needs of truly outstanding minority students. These efforts include development of undergraduate research programs, strong partnerships with two national laboratories, and establishment of a Minority Scholar Program at ISU that focuses on the personal, social, and professional development of the Minority Scholars.

爱荷华州立大学(ISU)工程学院将通过实施两个协调良好的项目：少数民族学者计划和访问少数民族学者计划，采取全面的方法来吸引更多高素质的少数族裔工程学学生。学院将协调研究教授、少数族裔招聘官员、导师、工业和研究机构以及其他组织的努力，以实现在少数族裔优秀学生中培养长期对研究的兴趣和奉献精神的目标。预计这项研究的参与将大大增加相关少数民族学生通过高级学位课程(硕士和博士)继续接受教育的机会。少数民族学者方案将极大地加强执行支助大学目前的少数民族方案。此外，这些方案利用了执行支助股对少数族裔教育已经做出的坚定承诺。具体地说，完善的少数族裔招募和保留计划将得到充分利用。然而，支持的努力将集中在真正优秀的少数族裔学生的需求上。这些努力包括开发本科研究项目，与两个国家实验室建立牢固的合作伙伴关系，以及在ISU建立一个少数民族学者计划，专注于少数族裔学者的个人、社会和职业发展。
