Polytechnic University is an urban university located in downtown Brooklyn. Polytechnic will identify and recruit minority women students from high school and from two year college programs for its undergraduate programs in materials science research. Precollege students will participate in a summer research program and enroll in a summer math preview/review course prior to beginning their first semester as Polytechnic undergraduates. Selected students enrolled in two year programs in the physical sciences at nearby schools will also participate in the summer programs. Students who would benefit from a "preresearch experience" will take the Spring Forward Saturday program prior to undertaking summer research. Students in two year programs will be advised and counseled to facilitate their transfer to Polytechnic as upper level undergraduates. All precollege and undergraduate participants will receive advisement about academic coursework that prepares them for enter into strong graduate programs. Undergraduate minority and women peer counselor/tutors will work with students in small groups to enhance learning. Students will receive mentoring and counseling from faculty, graduate students and undergraduate peers the research laboratory environment. Students will attend seminars, participate in visits to graduate programs and to industry, and prepare oral and written reports based on research. Upper level research students will be encouraged to give presentations at meetings of professional societies. Students will receive assistance in preparing graduate school applications.

Polytechnic University是一所位于布鲁克林市中心的城市大学。理工学院将从高中和两年制大学课程中确定和招收少数民族女学生参加材料科学研究本科课程。预科学生将参加夏季研究计划，并在开始他们的第一个学期作为理工学院本科生之前参加夏季数学预览/复习课程。在附近学校参加物理科学两年制课程的选定学生也将参加夏季课程。谁将受益于“预研究经验”的学生将采取春季前进星期六计划之前，进行夏季研究。两年制课程的学生将得到建议和辅导，以促进他们作为高水平本科生转入理工学院。所有预科和本科生的参与者将获得有关学术课程的知识，为他们进入强大的研究生课程做好准备。本科少数民族和妇女同侪辅导员/导师将与学生在小组工作，以加强学习。学生将在研究实验室环境中接受教师、研究生和本科生同行的指导和咨询。学生将参加研讨会，参加研究生课程和行业的访问，并根据研究准备口头和书面报告。高水平的研究生将被鼓励在专业协会的会议上发表演讲。学生将在准备研究生院申请方面获得帮助。
