, academically talented students. An innovative scholarship program developedand implemented at Florence-Darlington Technical College, Florence, SC has achieved an 81.8%on-time graduation rate for students in engineering technology programs and other advancedtechnologies by addressing a barrier referred to as the “digital divide” (NSF DUE #0422405,#0806514, #1259402). A technology support element was added to a National ScienceFoundation-funded S-STEM scholarship program in 2004 to address a well-documented needamong prospective scholars. Many scholarship recipients did not have access to a personalcomputer with the software and capability to do assigned work when off campus. To besuccessful, students were making extra trips to the campus to work in an

Since 1994, he has directed an extensive engineering mentoring-research academic success and professional development (ASAP) program that has served over 500 students. These efforts have been supported by NSF STEP, S-STEM, and CSEM grants as well as industry. Dr. Rodriguez’ research inter- ests include: control of nonlinear distributed parameter, and sampled-data systems; modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) of Flexible Autonomous Machines operating in an uncertain Environment (FAME); design and control of micro-air vehicles (MAVs), control of bio
