strategic and successful vehicles used in achieving this goal. This paper reports on theimpact of funding through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Agreement, between theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA), a federal agency, and Morgan State University (MSU),a minority institution. Under the agreement, a grant was awarded to MSU allowing students toparticipate in research projects at various EPA facilities across the country. From 1991 to presentover one hundred and sixty (160) students have participated in the program. The execution of theprogram and outcomes of this program are presented in this paper. As a result of the success ofthe program, the grant was recently renewed to continue the program for another three (3) years,with renewable

On the finite element method itself? Onunderstanding finite element results? Our course objectives are to produce students capable ofundertaking linear finite element modeling, who understand the basics of how commer cialsoftware packages work and the results they give, and what errors could be present. We describethe course content, which includes a mix between the finite element method and applicationsusing a commercial software package.
