Minority Undergraduate/Graduate Student Technical Presentation-Experience at the 2014 National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists & Chemical Engine

该奖项旨在支持来自历史上著名的黑人大学(HBCU)和少数民族服务机构(MSI)化学和化学工程及相关科学系的100名本科生和研究生参加技术研讨会、“化学英雄”午餐会和国家科学碗。所有这些都将于2014年9月22日至26日在洛杉矶新奥尔良举行的第41届全国黑人化学家和化学工程师组织(NOBCChE)年度技术会议上举行。该奖项将为本科生和研究生提供机会，在由产业界、政府和学术界同行组成的论坛上展示他们的原创研究。学生将有机会与其他HBCU、MSI和大多数机构的同事见面，发展研究合作，并探索在化学或化学工程学科攻读研究生学位的机会。学生将在接受过科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科培训的榜样的氛围中接触到新的想法和创新。这些新的想法和创新对下一代产品和技术的开发至关重要。这项活动的结果是，将鼓励学生在化学、化学工程和相关研究领域攻读研究生学位和博士后职位，从而增加学生发展想法和创新的渠道，这些学生在他们的职业生涯中可能会选择在政府、学术或行业部门担任科学家和工程师的就业机会。

This award is to support the participation of 100 undergraduate and graduate students from the departments of chemistry and chemical engineering and related sciences at selected Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) in technical symposia, a "Heroes of Chemistry" Luncheon, and the National Science Bowl. These will all occur at the 41st Annual Technology Conference of the National Organization of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) in New Orleans, LA from September 22-26, 2014. This award will provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research to a forum composed of industry, government, and academic peers. Students will have the opportunity to meet colleagues from other HBCU, MSI, and majority institutions to develop research collaborations and to explore opportunities to pursue graduate degrees in the chemistry or chemical engineering disciplines. Students will be exposed to new ideas and innovations in an atmosphere with role models who were trained in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. These new ideas and innovations are critical to the development of the next generation of products and technologies. The outcome of this activity is that students will be encouraged to pursue graduate degrees and post-doctoral positions in chemistry, chemical engineering, and related fields of study, thus increasing the pipeline for the development of ideas and innovations from students who in their careers may choose employment opportunities as scientists and engineers in either the government, academic or the industry sectors.
