computerscience while attending the Academic Success class as undergraduates with a CSEMS or SSTEMscholarship. This paper will briefly describe the program and assignments required in theASAP class. About half of the students in the class have scholarships from a National ScienceFoundation S-STEM or STEP grant and are required to take the class each semester they have thescholarship. Class challenges include varying the assignments for students who repeat the classseveral times and to differentiate the undergraduate and graduate student assignments. The paperwill describe the graduate student activities of the last year. These activities suggest innovativeways that graduate students can have their education enhanced and, at the same time, how theycan

2014.Nuclear-Pumped Laser (NPL) technology was a part of the strategic defense initiative (SDI)program in the 1980’s. NPLs have since faded from the United States research agenda but theyremain an active part of the research agenda in other countries, notably in Russia and othernations in the former Soviet Union as well as China [1] which has a cooperative agreement withRussia [2]. The reason for this broad interest in the technology is that a NPL can scale to highpower/energy levels (potentially up to 100 MW Continuous Wave (CW) beam power). Militaryapplications have historically dominated the NPL research agenda. However, there aresignificant humanitarian applications for high power/energy lasers. For example a high powerCW NPL would have
