more effective research programs for communitycollege students to pursue their science and engineering academic and careers goals.Introduction The American Association of Community Colleges reported in 2012 that 44% ofundergraduate students in the U.S. were enrolled in community colleges1. Approximately 50% ofthe African Americans and Hispanics who were undergraduate students attended communitycolleges. In addition, 57% of community college students were females and 46% of allcommunity college students received some form of financial aid1. Based on the increasingenrollment numbers and student demographics, community colleges play a critical role insupporting the U.S. efforts to increase the diversity, knowledge base, and skill level of
