To remedy this situation, the current project, funded throughan NSF S-STEM grant, developed the “UC Irvine Pathways to Engineering Collaborative” tohelp low-income students from diverse backgrounds to successfully transfer to and persist in theengineering program of a four-year university. The designed program targets the population ofstudents who have the ambition to pursue engineering degrees, but often lack the resources orexposure to engineering opportunities.

some withdrawal from an area where aquifersconstitute a major portion of water supply for other purposes. Likewise, injection of an oxidantwith the leach solution causes valence and phase changes of indigenous elements such as As, Cu,Mo, Se, S, and V, as well as U, thereby increasing the aqueous concentrations of these species aswell. A question of major concern at ISR mining sites is how to restore the groundwater to itsoriginal chemical composition. Restoration is necessary to reduce the amounts of undesiredchemical constituents left in solution after mining operations and thus to return the groundwaterto a quality consistent with pre-mining use and potential use. One promising approach torestoring groundwater quality at ISR sites is to
