The United States population and workforce are becoming increasingly morediverse, yet underrepresentation in STEM fields persists. Broadening participation in STEMgraduate education can both increase diversity in the STEM workforce and productivity ofresearch labs, since research has shown that more diverse research teams are more productivethan those who are homogeneous.This paper examines how an interdisciplinary graduate traineeship approach can stimulatediscovery, educational benefits, and workforce development, and also recruit, retain, and

The use of I&M can be classified to three applicationschemes: 1) monitoring of processes and operations; 2) control of processes andoperations; and 3) experimental engineering analysis. The first application ischaracterized as having only a monitoring function, while in the second the instrumentserves as a component of an automatic control system. The third is for engineeringproblems that often require very extensive experimental studies. Industry now requiresengineers who can compete in an environment characterized

The interimchair suggested that since the faculty members have a nine (9) months contract, there wasno obligation from the University to employ any faculty member, tenured or tenured-track, during the summer. Therefore he had latitude to appoint whom he might think wasmost suitable to teach the summer courses.In 2002 summer, the electrical engineering (EE) program offered nine (9) courses and theelectronic engineering technology (EET) program did not offer any courses at all.
