Enabling Participation of Hispanic Students in SHPE 2011 Graduate Activities

提案# 1138329PI: Olivia A. Graeve教授，阿尔弗雷德大学共同pi: Erica Corral教授，亚利桑那大学标题：摘要：提案人请求美国国家科学基金会人力资源开发（ENG）为2年制和4年制大学的本科生、研究生、高中教师和教职员工提供旅行资金，以参加2011年SHPE年会（2011年10月26日至30日，加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆）。PI在提供论文和海报展示方面的技术援助方面非常有经验。提议的议程草案以及评价资料及其执行情况都包括在提案中。这个建议做得很好，非常划算，我强烈建议批准。该提案提供旅费，使西班牙裔学生、工程学院和高中教师能够参加西班牙裔专业工程师协会（SHPE）年会。参加会议将促进学生和教师之间的师徒关系；扩大未被充分代表的少数族裔在工程领域的参与；并提高学生、教师和高中教师发展工程相关想法和项目的能力。鉴于首席研究员在过去10年里与SHPE会议的合作，她是学生们的宝贵资源。学生、教师和高中教师参加SHPE年会，将改善区域和全国的研究和指导，并吸引和留住工程领域代表性不足的少数民族学生。此外，会议将使学生有机会接触工程领域的教师和研究人员；从而在学生、大学和整个工程研究社区之间建立和加强网络、伙伴关系和潜在的指导关系。调查结果将通过SHPE杂志和网站在全国范围内发布。Omnia El-Hakim，多元化和外联项目主管

Proposal # 1138329PI: Prof. Olivia A. Graeve, Alfred UniversityCo-PI: Prof. Erica Corral, University of ArizonaTitle: Enabling participation of Hispanic Students in SHPE 2011 Graduate ActivitiesSummary:The proposers are requesting support from the National Science Foundation Human Resource Development (ENG) to provide travel funds for undergraduate students, both from 2-year and 4-year colleges, graduate students, high school teachers, and faculty, to participate in the SHPE 2011 annual meeting (October 26-30, 2011, Anaheim, CA). The PI's are very experienced at providing technical assistance with paper and poster presentations. A draft of the proposed agenda is included in the proposal as well as evaluation information and its implementation. The proposal well done, very cost-effective and I highly recommend approval.The proposal provides travel funds to enable the participation of Hispanic students, engineering faculty and high school teachers in the Annual Meeting of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE). Attendance to the meeting will promote mentorship between students and faculty; broaden the participation of underrepresented minorities in engineering; and enhance students, faculty and high school teacher's ability to develop engineering-related ideas and projects. The Principal Investigator is a valuable resource for students given her work with the SHPE meeting over the past 10 years.Student, faculty and high school teacher's participation in the annual meeting of SHPE will lead to improved research and mentorship, regionally and nationally, as well as to attracting and retaining underrepresented minority students in engineering. Moreover, the conference will give students access to faculty and researchers in the field of engineering; thereby building and enhancing networks, partnerships, and potential mentoring relationships between students, universities, and the engineering research community-at-large. The results will be disseminated nationally through the SHPE magazine and website.Omnia El-Hakim, Program Director of Diversity and Outreach
