Technical Symposium for Students Underrepresented in STEM

历史黑人学院和大学本科课程(HBCU-UP)支持旨在提高HBCU科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学生和教职员工的研究和教育能力的会议和研讨会。摩根州立大学将于2019年9月26-27日在科平州立大学举办第91届全国技术协会(NTA)年会期间举办的学生研讨会。HBCU的本科生将参加这次为期两天的研讨会，介绍他们的研究成果，并通过与教师和行业代表的互动建立支持网络。NTA成立于1926年，旨在促进本科生参与科学和技术研究活动。研讨会将为学生提供一次最终的体验，通过口头和海报会议向参加NTA会议的同行和专业人士传播研究成果。学生将有能力参加一些会议小组和演讲，职业意识，教育和就业蒸汽机会博览会，以及颁奖典礼。一个关键的目标是为本科生提供与来自学术界、工业界、政府机构和私营部门的科学家和工程师建立联系的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) supports conferences and workshops that seek to increase the research and education capacity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students and faculty at HBCUs. Morgan State University will organize a student symposium held in conjunction with the 91st National Technical Association (NTA) Annual Conference to be held on September 26-27, 2019 at Coppin State University. Undergraduate students from HBCUs will attend this two-day symposium to present their research and build a network of support by interacting with faculty and industry representatives. The NTA, established in 1926, promotes the involvement of undergraduate students in scientific and technical research activities. The symposium sessions will provide a culminating experience for students to disseminate research results to peers and professionals attending the NTA conference through oral and poster sessions. Students will have the ability to attend some of the conference panels and presentations, the Career Awareness, Educational and Employment STEAM Opportunities Expo, and the awards presentation. A key objective is to provide undergraduate students the opportunity to network with scientists and engineers from academia, industry, government agencies, and the private sector.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
