The need for trained and educated under-represented and minority US citizensare critical in these technology areas. Such demand can only be met by the introduction of thesetechnologies, education and mentoring of the under-represented and minority students at variouslevels. This can be accomplished by an early introduction of these technology areas from theundergraduate level. It would be best if the undergraduate students are exposed to such areas bytheir own faculty advisors, teachers and educators at their own institutions. This would permitthis
