9619503 Pang ABSTRACT The objectives of this project are to: (1) enhance the technical and educational backgrounds of minority students by offering more collaborative research activities; (2) increase the number of minorities entering graduate school by providing vital information and necessary training for their admission to, and success in, graduate school; and (3) assist minority students in their development towards obtaining employment in high level engineering jobs. Minority student sin their junior and senior years of study will participate in this project. They will be recruited from Louisiana State University, the state's flagship institution, and Southern University, the largest HBCU (Historically Black College and University) in the nation. The 16 selected student per year will participate in several composite piping research programs of the investigators, funded by various federal and state agencies as well as industry, including the newly funded NSF Joint Faculty Appointment Program between Majority Black/Majority White Institutes entitled "Development of SU/LSU Joint Engineering Research and Educational Program in Composite Piping Systems." Present programs are currently supporting faculty as LSU/SU, research associates, graduate students, equipment, and supplies, but without enough resources for supporting undergraduate students. This REU project, if funded, will support (minority) undergraduate students who participate in this REU project with the NSF Joint Faculty Appointment Program and other research grants, thereby maximizing the benefits and impact. Parallel with the research component, each participant will receive professional counseling and instruction necessary for planning to attend graduate school, with particular attention given to admissions and funding. Participants will attend monthly seminars dealing with improved technical writing, graduate school survival for minorities, and ethical issues in engineering. The investigators have confidence that t he program will be a successful national model of how a historically black and majority white institution can jointly develop and assist minority students in developing research skills needed for industry, as well as graduated school. ***

小行星9619503 摘要 该项目的目标是：（1）通过提供更多的合作研究活动，提高少数民族学生的技术和教育背景;（2）通过提供重要信息和必要培训，使少数民族学生能够进入研究生院并取得成功，从而增加少数民族学生进入研究生院的人数;及（3）协助少数民族学生在高层次的工程工作中就业。 大三和大四的少数民族学生将参加这个项目。 他们将从路易斯安那州的旗舰机构路易斯安那州立大学和全国最大的HBCU（历史上的黑人学院和大学）南方大学招募。 每年选出的16名学生将参加研究人员的几个复合管道研究项目，这些项目由各联邦和州机构以及工业界资助，包括新资助的主要黑人/主要白色机构之间的NSF联合教师任命项目，题为“SU/LSU复合管道系统联合工程研究和教育项目的发展”。“目前的项目目前支持教师作为LSU/SU，研究助理，研究生，设备和用品，但没有足够的资源来支持本科生。 这个REU项目，如果资助，将支持（少数）本科生谁参加这个REU项目与NSF联合教师任命计划和其他研究赠款，从而最大限度地提高效益和影响。 与研究部分平行，每个参与者将获得规划参加研究生院所需的专业咨询和指导，特别关注招生和资金。 参与者将参加每月一次的研讨会，讨论如何提高技术写作水平，少数民族在研究生院的生存，以及工程中的道德问题。 调查人员有信心，该计划将是一个成功的国家模式，如何在历史上的黑人和多数白色机构可以共同开发和协助少数民族学生在发展所需的研究技能的行业，以及研究生院。 ***
