The "Minority Research Enhancement Program in Power Systems (MREPPS)" proposal is designed to enhance research education in the application of systems theory, optimization, control and expert systems for power systems planning, operation and management by the use of artificial intelligence. An outreach program and early involvement in research are program components designed to increase the minority population in engineering. Enhancement of power systems research will advance Howard University's educational mission by enhancing the quality of programs offered to undergraduate and graduate students and by providing a means of sharing technological breakthroughs in power systems with other HBCUs. The research component of the proposal focuses on investigating four of the nine national needs in power systems which have been identified by the Electric Power Research Institute and the NSF. The outreach component of the program will provide pre-college students with a more systematic exposure to science and technology, increase the level of graduate students, and broaden the expertise of faculty. Howard University is the only historically black university which offers Ph.D. level studies in power systems, therefore, a unique feature of MREPPS will include training of graduate students (about 12 students each year) from the HBCUs. These students will be the future college professors in power systems and through their research experience at Howard ıinfinite transfer on program development at the undergraduate level will be developed!. Faculty researchers and prospective graduate students who specialize in power systems will be invited to Howard University to attend a week-long workshop that will address current topics in the power industry and provide a mini-course on knowledge-based systems engineering and neural networks application to power systems. A teleconference, to be held at Howard, will link students, faculty and researchers of HBCUs and engineers in the power industry. Minority engineers, particularly those with graduate-level degrees, remain acutely underrepresented in the field of engineering. This problem is especially evident in the field of power systems. Howard University has contributed significantly to the current pool of minority engineers in the power industry. Through this program, the University will have a grater impact on increasing the number of minority students entering undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering, on increasing the number of practicing engineers and addressing faculty shortages in the field of power systems. Finally, the program will address national research needs in power systems.

电力系统少数民族研究增强计划 （MREPPS）”建议旨在加强研究教育， 系统论、优化、控制和专家应用 电力系统规划、运行和管理系统， 人工智能的使用。 一个外展计划和早期 参与研究是计划的组成部分， 在工程领域增加少数民族人口。 加强 电力系统研究将推动霍华德大学的教育 使命，提高所提供方案的质量， 本科生和研究生，并通过提供一种手段， 与其他国家分享电力系统的技术突破 HBCU。 该提案的研究部分侧重于调查四个 在九个国家的电力系统需求中， 由电力研究所和国家科学基金会确定。 该计划的外展部分将提供大学预科 让学生更系统地接触科学和技术， 提高研究生水平，拓宽专业领域 的教师。 霍华德大学是历史上唯一的黑人大学， 提供博士学位电力系统水平的研究，因此，一个独特的 MREPPS的特点将包括培训研究生（约 每年12名学生）从HBCU。 这些学生将是 未来的大学教授在电力系统和通过他们的 在霍华德研究经验无限转移计划 将在本科阶段发展！ 教师 研究人员和未来的研究生谁专门在 电力系统将被邀请到霍华德大学参加一个 为期一周的研讨会，将解决当前的主题，在权力 并提供一个关于以知识为基础系统的小型课程 工程和神经网络应用于电力系统。 一 将在霍华德举行的远程会议将把学生、教师 HBCU的研究人员和电力行业的工程师。 少数族裔工程师，特别是那些拥有研究生学位的工程师， 在工程领域的代表性仍然严重不足。 这 这个问题在电力系统领域尤其明显。 霍华德 大学为目前的人才库做出了重大贡献。 电力行业的少数民族工程师 通过这个项目， 大学将对增加学生人数产生更大的影响。 少数民族学生进入本科和研究生课程， 工程，增加执业工程师的数量， 解决电力系统领域的师资短缺问题。 最后，该计划将解决国家的研究需求， 系统.
