This project involves a cooperative effort among the following institutions and organizations in the Los Angeles Basin: six California State Universities--Los Angeles, Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Long Beach, Northridge, and Pomona; Community Colleges in East Los Angeles, Los Angeles, and Pasadena; and, several school districts in the Basin-- Garvey-Alhambra-San Gabriel, Los Angeles, Pasadena. The project consists of a set of coordinated activities, targeted throughout Metropolitan Los Angeles, designed to significantly increase the representation of minorities in careers in science, engineering and technology. The broad- based approach taken to solve the underrepresentation problem centers on the establishment of coalitions among colleges and universities, business and industry, public schools and community organizations. Minority enrollment at the six CSU campuses totals 25,000, with percentage of minority enrollment ranging from 13% (CSU-Fullerton) to 47% (CSU-Dominguez Hills). The largest minority enrollment, nearly 6,400 (39%), is at CSU-Los Angeles. Minority enrollment in the Los Angeles Unified School District is 351,000 which is 59% of the total. Each CSU campus in the Center acts as a node for a variety of activities which take place to ensure that the goals and objectives of the Center are carried out in a coherent manner. Taken as a whole, the Center functions as a bond that links together all levels of the educational pipeline, as a unique catalyst to develop synergism, as a context within which to develop and evaluate new ideas, as an exporter and facilitator in helping campuses to implement activities, and as the major node of a network of Southern California institutions and people. The Center also serves as the stimulus to coordinate and enhance the many valuable minority programs already in place at CSU campuses and their linkages with precollege levels. It will forge new levels of effective communication and of "horizontal" action pathways among participating institutions and organizations. The administrative structure for the Center provides an effective combination of focused leadership, distributed planning and flexible implementation through an Advisory Council which is the governing body for the Center, an Executive Committee, an Executive Director, four Task Forces, and a Corporate Advisory Board. Elementary School Projects involve the development of Science Skills Centers in school districts contiguous to CSU- Los Angeles; a Summer Science Institute at CSU-Los Angeles; and a Student Aides for Science in Elementary Schools Program at CSU-Northridge.

该项目涉及洛杉矶盆地以下机构和组织之间的合作努力：六所加州州立大学——洛杉矶、多明格斯山、富勒顿、长滩、北岭和波莫纳；东洛杉矶、洛杉矶和帕萨迪纳的社区学院；以及盆地的几个学区——加维-阿尔罕布拉-圣盖博，洛杉矶，帕萨迪纳。该项目包括一系列协调一致的活动，目标是整个洛杉矶大都会，旨在显著增加少数民族在科学、工程和技术职业中的代表性。解决代表性不足问题的基础广泛的方法集中在建立高校、工商企业、公立学校和社区组织之间的联盟。科罗拉多州立大学六个校区的少数族裔学生总数为25,000人，少数族裔入学率从13%（科罗拉多州立大学富勒顿分校）到47%（科罗拉多州立大学多明格斯山分校）不等。少数族裔入学人数最多的是加州大学洛杉矶分校（CSU-Los Angeles），近6400人（39%）。洛杉矶联合学区的少数族裔入学人数为351,000人，占总数的59%。中心的每个CSU校区都是各种活动的节点，以确保中心的目标和目标以连贯的方式进行。作为一个整体，该中心作为连接各级教育管道的纽带，作为发展协同作用的独特催化剂，作为发展和评估新思想的背景，作为帮助校园实施活动的出口商和促进者，以及南加州机构和人员网络的主要节点。该中心还促进协调和加强科罗拉多州立大学校园内已有的许多有价值的少数族裔项目，以及它们与大学预科水平的联系。它将在参与的机构和组织之间建立新的有效沟通和“横向”行动途径。中心的行政结构通过中心的理事机构咨询委员会、执行委员会、执行主任、四个工作队，提供了集中领导、分散规划和灵活执行的有效组合。以及公司顾问委员会。小学项目包括在毗邻加州大学洛杉矶分校的学区建立科学技能中心；加州大学洛杉矶分校的暑期科学研究所；以及加州大学北岭分校小学科学项目的学生助手。
