"As long as I can do research with them, I'll be happy no matter what university [I get into]," he says. This is music to the ears of … RAMS program administrator, because attracting more underrepresented minorities to careers in science is exactly what she's trying to do. "The long-term goal is to prepare [underrepresented minorities] to become those critical staff scientists that we need for the future workforce, hopefully here [at ORNL]."….”RAMS program is aimed at increasing the number of under-represented populations in theworkplace by encouraging students to pursue advanced degrees in

It is believed that participation of the students in these completions will increase theexposure of the students to other fellow mechanical engineering students and hence will motivatethem in pursuing their careers. On the other hand, participation in the competitions will give thestudents a hands on experience in which they can appreciate the classroom knowledge and it’sapplication to real-world engineering problems. Indeed it is observed that the participatingstudents have enhanced their performance in various courses. It is therefore imperative to gainfunding for such competitions on a

Therefore, eachstudent has to administer his own “Educational Career” project with the limited number of credithours that the student can allocate to school.

The experiment was designedto capture each of these two issues independently. The language issue has been suspected as a probable cause for the lower passing rates inPuerto Rico. Students in Puerto Rico are essentially 100% Hispanic so some of the researchquestions of interest are: are Hispanic students facing difficulties understanding the FE Examwhich is offered in English?
