Abstract Gilbert 1649320Part IAlthough major growth in engineering and computing jobs is expected in the next 10 years, students are not majoring in sufficient numbers to meet this demand. These impending workforce demands cannot be met without developing the skills of racial and ethnic minorities: however, Hispanics and Black/African Americans make up only a small percentage of doctoral students in the United States. The goal of the Consortium of Minority Doctoral Scholars (CMDS) Design and Development Launch Pilot is to broaden the participation of minorities in these fields. This pilot project will create a data portal that will allow the research team to study and understand the efficacy of various mentoring strategies that might be piloted across institutions and minority doctoral scholars programs.Part IIThe Consortium of Minority Doctoral Scholars (CMDS) will unite three of the nation?s oldest and most prominent minority doctoral scholars programs (GEM, SREB and McKnight); organizations with a long history of impact in increasing the numbers of minorities obtaining advanced degrees. The CMDS Design and Development Launch Pilot will conduct extensive studies using data from these three programs. The research team will conduct a mixed method analysis of the data to discover commonalities and distinctions about the three programs? mentoring efforts as compared to students not involved in the three programs. This will result in a data-driven strategy for researching the efficacy of mentoring programs that can be applied across the three CMSD member and other minority doctoral scholars programs. By utilizing data from successful programs to pinpoint effective mentoring strategies, the project will create opportunities for larger numbers of minorities to be successful. This approach has implications not only with respect to equity and access, but also the development of a workforce that will drive future advances.

尽管预计未来10年工程和计算机工作岗位将大幅增长，但专业的学生数量不足以满足这一需求。这些迫在眉睫的劳动力需求，如果不发展少数种族和族裔的技能，就无法得到满足：然而，西班牙裔和黑人/非洲裔美国人只占美国博士生的一小部分。少数民族博士学者联盟（CMDS）设计和开发启动试点的目标是扩大少数民族在这些领域的参与。这个试点项目将创建一个数据门户，使研究团队能够研究和了解各种指导策略的有效性，这些策略可能会在各机构和少数民族博士学者项目中进行试点。第二部分少数民族博士学者联盟（CMDS）将联合全国三个？美国历史最悠久、最杰出的少数民族博士学者项目（GEM、SREB和McKnight）；在增加获得高等学位的少数民族人数方面具有长期影响的组织。CMDS设计和开发启动试点将使用这三个项目的数据进行广泛的研究。研究小组将对数据进行混合方法分析，以发现三个方案的共同点和区别。与没有参加这三个项目的学生相比，辅导的努力。这将产生一个数据驱动的策略，用于研究指导计划的有效性，该计划可以应用于三位CMSD成员和其他少数民族博士学者计划。通过利用来自成功项目的数据来确定有效的指导策略，该项目将为更多的少数民族创造成功的机会。这种方法不仅对公平和机会有影响，而且对发展推动未来进步的劳动力也有影响。
