A partnership will be formed between Cornell University and key engineering institutions on the island of Puerto Rico (initially to include the Puerto Rico Resource Center for Science and Engineering, the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, and the Polytechnic University), to identify star students early in their undergraduate careers. These students will be resident on the Cornell campus for one summer of course work and either on campus or at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico for one research-intensive summer. The students will, where appropriate, be encouraged to apply to either the M.S./Ph.D. program directly or to Cornell's one-year M. Eng. Program. With summer research experience and the chance to excel in the M. Eng. Program, we believe many of the later students will also be able to continue to the Ph.D.

康奈尔大学将与波多黎各岛上的主要工程机构（最初包括波多黎各科学与工程资源中心、波多黎各大学马亚圭斯分校和理工大学）建立伙伴关系，以在本科生涯早期发现明星学生。这些学生将在康奈尔大学校园住上一个暑假的课程，或者在校园里或者在波多黎各的阿雷西博天文台进行一个密集的研究暑假。在适当的情况下，鼓励学生申请硕士/博士学位。直接攻读康奈尔大学一年制工程硕士课程。程序。凭借暑期研究经验和在工程硕士领域脱颖而出的机会。项目，我们相信许多后来的学生也能继续攻读博士学位。
