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

given over 70 invited presentations - 13 plenary - at international and national forums, conferences and corporations. 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-economic systems
