This program is in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Tuskegee University. Twelve minority engineering students at the end of their junior year are recruited to have the research experience. The duration of the research activity for each student is expected to be one academic year (one summer and two semesters). Each undergraduate is paired with a graduate student in an on-going funded research program under the leadership of six faculty mentors. The funded research areas are in composite materials, fatigue, fracture mechanics, robotics, electric propulsion and hypersonic flow. Students participating in this program are required to register for a three-credit hour Research course which is used as a technical elective. A technical report and an oral presentation of the research work are required. Biweekly meetings during the regular semesters and weekly meetings during the summer provide the forum for progress reports and exchange of information.

该项目位于塔斯基吉大学机械工程系。 12名少数民族工科学生在大三结束时被招募来获得研究经验。 每个学生的研究活动持续时间预计为一学年（一个夏季和两个学期）。 每个本科生都会与一名研究生配对，在六名导师的领导下，参与一项持续资助的研究项目。 资助的研究领域包括复合材料、疲劳、断裂力学、机器人、电力推进和高超音速流。 参加该计划的学生必须注册三个学分的研究课程，该课程用作技术选修课。 需要一份技术报告和研究工作的口头陈述。 常规学期的双周会议和夏季的每周会议为进度报告和信息交流提供了论坛。
