The mentoring component further sustains this effortby bringing sophomores / juniors as peer group leaders in weekly sessions focusing onlearning in fundamental classes.Majority of cohort do not meet placement requirements, start at remedial mathematicslevel. The long series of remediation needed to enroll in freshman level classescontributes greatly to large attrition rate. The integrated enrichment activates engagesthis group; provides counseling, stipend and a nurturing up-to-date environment. Thisprogram is part of a larger project to increase baccalaureate level graduation rate

usingstatistical method.IntroductionThe research results are focused on the solids-flow monitoring and measurement in thecombustion system. The laser based phase Doppler particle analyzer (PDPA) system andparticle image velocimetry (PIV) were used to explore solid-particle flow and theircharacteristics.The phase Doppler method is based upon the principles of light scattering interferometry.Measurements are made at a small, non-intrusive optical probe volume defined by theintersection of two laser beams. The intersection of the two beams creates a fringe patternwithin the probe volume. As a particle passes through the probe volume, it scatters light fromthe beams and projects the fringe pattern. A receiving lens strategically located at an off

OverviewAnalyzing the participation and advancement of underrepresented individuals and institutionsrequires a review of measures of diversity used in both prior research in the STEM fields and inthe business, government, or education fields. This literature review uncovered several metricsfor measuring diversity in a wide variety of settings as well as questions to be asked eachprincipal investigator, school, school district, department, college, and institution regarding theirresearch and research capacity as well as education and education capacity. Questions wereclassified into those to be asked about individuals from populations underrepresented in STEM
