In spite of several such programs, the number of minority, especiallyAfrican American students, graduating and entering CSE and HPC professional areas hasremained really low. There is a great demand of graduates and working professionals in the areasof computational science and engineering that are trained not only in the technical domain areasbut also in the computational aspects and high performance computing areas, the relatedtechnology, tools, paradigms and approaches. This expertise demand is not only from the US Page 14.511.2federal engineering and science laboratories where modeling and simulation have alreadybecome
resourcesThe success of the STEPUP program is critically dependent on the roles played by staff andstudents. To ensure successful execution, two staff members, who are professional advisorsunder the leadership of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, serve the role of full-timecoordinators over the duration of the program. Under their direction, a team of undergraduatestudent mentors, alumni of previous STEPUP classes, are selected to help with various activities.During the summer, these students are actively engaged in direct mentoring of students andperforming resident assistants’ tasks in the residence hall. The lead mentor, besides having theresponsibility of guiding and serving as a role model for other mentors, teaches the pre-calculuscourse

This has been accomplished through industry-university partnerships with pharmaceutical and petrochemical companies. Several grants fromthe US Environmental Protection Agency have supported initiatives in green chemistry,engineering and design. These projects have the broader goal of supporting sustainability in thechemical industry.IntroductionToo often the teaching of a technical subject like green engineering is limited to an individualclass experience or one dimensional laboratory or design experience. The teaching of greenengineering in the curriculum is greatly enhanced by active participation of students throughoutthe curriculum and in real-world

Goahead and use them as real-world laboratories for teaching sustainability, civil engineering andbuilding science. Students like and respond positively to this kind of instruction and we believethe students did better because of it. You and your students will be pleased with how rapidly andmeaningfully you can engage a complex building-wide problem when that building is on yourown campus.Bibliography[1] F. Rajabipour and A.

housed in the School of Engineering,coordinates a network of entrepreneurship-related programs and activities open to all studentsregardless of major or school within the institution. We start with the premise that there are twokinds of innovation: market-pull and knowledge-push. Market-pull innovations are those inwhich entrepreneurs identify a customer need first through customer discovery and then seek thetechnology required. Business schools traditionally focus on teaching entrepreneurs how torespond to market-pulls. Knowledge-pull innovations originate with an inventor or scientist; theentrepreneur then strives to connect the laboratory discovery and technical innovations with acustomer need. We believe that knowledge-push innovations often
