Graduate Engineer Education for Women, Minorities, and/or Persons with Disabilities

亚利桑那州立大学将支持6名女性、少数族裔和/或残疾人参加一个工程研究生项目，最终将授予每位学生博士学位。本项目提出了五个突出和互补的研究领域。这些领域是：(1)纳米电子学，(2)制造质量改进，(3)电信，(4)智能车辆公路系统，以及(5)航空航天。这些学科都由一位在其专业领域公认的权威教授领导。学生将被招募到这个项目中，通过一个全国性的广告宣传活动，以学院在工业研究员项目上的成功为基础。候选人将被邀请到校园与教师、学生见面，并熟悉研究生阶段可用的研究设施。最终的选择将由部门研究生委员会与PI一起做出。一旦被选中，学生将立即被分配一名导师，以协助他/她的计划的初步阶段。亚利桑那州立大学招收弱势学生的努力得到了州立法机关和校董会的大力支持，他们为此提供了专项资金。

Arizona State University will support six women, minorities, and/or persons with disabilities in an engineering graduate program designed to culminate in the awarding of a doctoral degree to each student. Five outstanding and complementary research areas are proposed in this program. These areas are: (1) Nanoelectronics, (2) Manufacturing Quality Improvement, (3) Telecommunications, (4) Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems, and (5) Aerospace. Each of these disciplines is headed by a professor who is a recognized authority in his area of expertise. Students will be recruited to the program using a national advertising campaign based on the College's success with the Industrial Fellows Program. Candidates will be invited to campus to meet the faculty, students, and to become acquainted with the research facilities available at the graduate level. Final selection will be made by the departmental graduate committee, in conjunction with the PI's. Immediately upon selection the student will be assigned a mentor to assist in the preliminary phase of his/her program. ASU's effort to recruit underrepresented students is vigorously supported by the state legislature and the Board of Regents who have provided special funds for this purpose.
