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，将在五年内让大约175名本科生(35人/年)参与各种环境问题和广泛的任务选择，包括电子材料的合成、生长和分析。该学年计划将包括德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校工程学院的少数族裔学生。暑期计划将邀请来自少数族裔占多数的学校的学生，如草原景观A&A；M、泛美、德克萨斯A&A；I、德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校、德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校，以及其他设有NSBE、SHPE或SWE分会的校园。被选中参加这个少数民族学者研究职业(RCMS)项目的学生将在教师的监督下，由行业或政府赞助，参与最先进的研究。这些学生将每周与教师导师会面，每两周作为一个小组，就他们参与该项目的学期中各种项目的进展情况交换信息和想法。这些工科学生所做的研究工作将允许他们在参加RCMS项目时获得三个小时的研究学分。学生活动的成功结束将包括编写和提交所执行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.
