RCMS: Research Careers for Minority Scholars

环境解决方案计划和科学技术中心与德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的土木/环境和电气/计算机工程系合作，将涉及约175名本科少数民族学生（35人/年），研究各种环境问题和广泛的任务选择，包括合成，生长，对电子材料进行了五年的分析。该学年计划将涉及德州大学奥斯汀分校工程学院的少数民族学生。暑期项目将邀请来自少数族裔占多数的学校的学生，如Prairie View a&m， Pan American, Texas a&i, UT San Antonio， UT El Paso以及其他拥有NSBE， SHPE或SWE分会的校园。入选少数民族学者研究职业（RCMS）项目的学生将在教师的监督下参与由行业或政府赞助的最先进的研究。这些学生将每周与教师主管会面，每两周一次，以小组形式交流信息和想法，了解他们参与项目的各个学期的进展情况。这些工程专业学生完成的研究工作将允许他们参加RCMS项目获得三个小时的研究学分。学生活动的成功结束将包括撰写和演示所执行的工作的最终技术报告。

The Environmental Solutions Program and the Science and Technology Center working in concert with the Civil/Environmental and Electrical/Computer Engineering departments at UT Austin will involve approximately 175 undergraduate minority students (35/yr) in a variety of environmental problems and a broad selection of tasks including synthesis, growth, and analysis of electronic materials over a five year period. The Academic Year Program will involve minority students from the College of Engineering at UT- Austin. The Summer Program will invite students from schools which have a high predominance of minority groups enrolled, such as Prairie View A&M, Pan American, Texas A&I, UT San Antonio, UT El Paso, and other campuses that have NSBE, SHPE, or SWE Chapters. Students chosen for this Research Careers for Minority Scholars (RCMS) program will participate i state-of-the-art research under faculty supervision and sponsored by industry or government. These students will meet weekly with faculty supervisors and bi-weekly as a group to exchange information and ideas about the progress on their various projects during their semesters of participation in the program. The research work done by these engineering students will allow them to receive three hours of research credit for participation in their RCMS program. Successful conclusion of the student's activity will include the writing and presentation of a final technical report of the work that was performed.
