提案编号1138329 PI：Olivia A.教授格雷夫，阿尔弗雷德大学合作PI：教授埃里卡科拉尔，亚利桑那大学标题：使西班牙裔学生在SHPE 2011年研究生活动的参与摘要：提案人正在请求国家科学基金会人力资源开发（ENG）的支持，为本科生，无论是从2年制和4年制大学，研究生，高中教师和教师，参加SHPE 2011年年会（2011年10月26日至30日，阿纳海姆，加利福尼亚州）提供旅费。PI在提供论文和海报演示方面非常有经验。拟议议程草案以及评价信息及其执行情况均列入该提案。该提案做得很好，非常具有成本效益，我强烈建议批准。该提案提供旅行资金，使西班牙裔学生，工程教师和高中教师能够参加西班牙裔专业工程师协会（SHPE）的年会。参加会议将促进学生和教师之间的指导;扩大代表性不足的少数族裔对工程的参与;并提高学生、教师和高中教师开发工程相关想法和项目的能力。首席研究员是一个宝贵的资源，为学生鉴于她的工作与SHPE会议在过去的10 years.学生，教师和高中教师在SHPE的年会的参与将导致改善研究和指导，区域和国家，以及吸引和留住工程中代表性不足的少数民族学生。此外，会议将让学生接触到工程领域的教师和研究人员;从而建立和加强学生，大学和工程研究社区之间的网络，伙伴关系和潜在的指导关系。调查结果将通过《社会促进就业杂志》和网站在全国范围内传播。

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
