RCMS: Research Careers for Minority Scholars in Materials Fields

理工大学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挑选和招收少数民族女性学生，用于其材料科学研究的本科课程。大学预科学生将参加暑期研究项目，并报名参加暑期数学预习/复习课程，然后开始他们作为理工学院本科生的第一个学期。被选中的学生在附近的学校参加两年制的物理学项目，也将参加暑期项目。将受益于“预搜索体验”的学生将在进行暑期研究之前参加“春季前进星期六”计划。在两年制课程的学生将被建议和咨询，以帮助他们转到理工学院作为高水平的本科生。所有大学预科生和本科生都将收到有关学术课程的建议，为他们进入强有力的研究生课程做好准备。本科生、少数民族和女性同伴辅导员/导师将以小组形式与学生合作，促进学习。学生将接受来自研究实验室环境的教职员工、研究生和本科生同行的指导和咨询.学生将参加研讨会，参加对研究生项目和行业的访问，并根据研究准备口头和书面报告。将鼓励高水平的研究型学生在专业学会的会议上发表演讲。学生将在准备研究生院申请方面得到帮助。

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.
