describes an NSF (National Science Foundation) S-STEM-funded scholarshipprogram, representing a collaborative five-year grant project among three prominent universitiesin the Southeast region of the United States. Its primary objective is to support dedicated scholarsin graduating and finding a professional pathway. Each institution recruited a cohort of 15-20scholars annually for three years. The project offers scholarships and provides curricular and co-curricular support to academically talented but financially challenged students in the computingdisciplines, including Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, and InformationTechnology majors, starting from their junior years. The program aims to impact 150 scholars,most of whom are

The accelerometer considers the ramp's direction as the x-axis and calculatesthe average acceleration experienced during the time it took the block to pass between the twoinfrared motion sensors. Finally, the screen displays the acceleration in meters per secondsquared (m/s²). Additionally, the serial monitor logs all the acceleration readings captured duringthe block's descent, along with corresponding timestamps.The development of this apparatus was part of a clinic project.

The Graduate School ensures fee-basedprograms do not compete with traditional on-campus programs. This latter point is seldom anissue as most students wishing to participate in on-campus programs are residential andanticipate a traditional experience. Alternatively, most student s who participate in non-traditional weekend programs are already in the professional ranks and not able to participate ina traditional program format.
