The project will support the development and implementation of a workshop/symposium, held by the College of Engineering of Tuskegee University, in partnership with a number of engineering departments and engineering colleges, professional organizations, and individual experts. The event will facilitate the gathering of information to establish the methods used by the HBCU engineering schools to achieve success in degree production among underrepresented minorities, especially African-American students. The symposium will also address the development of a vision for strengthening HBCU engineering institutions, determining what strategies might assist the further development of students, and improving corporate partnerships, governmental service, and collaboration with majority institutions. By identifying successful practices and disseminating these findings by way of the proposed collaborative website and other participant-based communications through participating institutions, the PI anticipates that engineering departments/colleges will be motivated to consider ways to improve their academic programs through use of the best practices established in the symposium (and documented by participants).

该项目将支持塔斯基吉大学工程学院与一些工程系和工程学院、专业组织和个人专家合作举办的研讨会/专题讨论会的开发和实施。该活动将有助于收集信息，以建立HBCU工程学校所使用的方法，以在代表性不足的少数民族，特别是非洲裔美国学生中取得学位。研讨会还将讨论加强HBCU工程机构的愿景的发展，确定哪些战略可能有助于学生的进一步发展，并改善企业伙伴关系，政府服务以及与大多数机构的合作。通过确定成功的做法，并通过拟议的合作网站和其他参与者为基础的通信通过参与机构传播这些发现，PI预计，工程系/学院将有动力考虑如何通过使用建立在研讨会上的最佳实践（并由与会者记录），以改善他们的学术课程。
