Moreover,the shift in the demographics, based on recent census data, calls for the need to diversify theworkforce by attracting and training underrepresented minority groups into engineering andscience. Thus, the involvement of undergraduates in research has been supported by federal, stateand local governments as well as by industry, since the shortage of domestic and diverse studentsin graduate school pipeline threatens the economic and technological advances of the UnitedStates.
