Research Careers for Minority Scholars: A Minority Scholar Program in Engineering at Iowa State University (Engineering)

爱荷华州立大学工程学院（ISU）将采取综合方法，通过实施两个协调良好的项目：少数民族学者项目和少数民族访问学者项目，吸引更多高素质的少数民族工程专业学生。学院将协调研究教授、少数族裔招生官员、导师、工业和研究机构以及其他组织的努力，以实现在优秀的少数族裔学生中培养长期研究兴趣和奉献精神的目标。预计这项研究的参与将大大增加参与少数民族学生通过高级学位课程（硕士和博士）继续接受教育的机会。少数民族学者项目将极大地加强国际滑联目前的少数民族项目。此外，这些项目还利用了国际州立大学对少数民族教育的坚定承诺。具体而言，将充分利用完善的少数民族招聘和保留计划。然而，支持的努力将侧重于真正优秀的少数民族学生的需求。这些努力包括发展本科研究项目，与两个国家实验室建立牢固的伙伴关系，以及在国际滑联建立一个少数民族学者项目，该项目侧重于少数民族学者的个人、社会和专业发展。

The College of Engineering at Iowa State University (ISU) will undertake a comprehensive approach to attract more highly qualified minority engineering students through implementation of two well coordinated programs: the Minority Scholars Program and the Visiting Minority Scholars Program. The College will coordinate efforts of research professors, minority recruitment officers, mentors, industrial and research institutions, and other organizations in order to achieve the goal of generating, among outstanding minority students, long-term interest in and dedication to research. It is anticipated that this research involvement will significantly enhance opportunities for involved minority students to continue their education through advanced degree programs (M.S. and Ph.D.). The Minority Scholar Program will greatly enhance the current minority programs at ISU. In addition, the programs leverage the already strong commitment of ISU to minority education. Specifically, well established minority recruitment and retention programs will be fully utilized. However, the supported effort will focus on needs of truly outstanding minority students. These efforts include development of undergraduate research programs, strong partnerships with two national laboratories, and establishment of a Minority Scholar Program at ISU that focuses on the personal, social, and professional development of the Minority Scholars.
