Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
The University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez and University of Wisconsin-Madison Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (UPRM-UW PREM) aims to create richer educational and research opportunities for Hispanic students in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and increase their representation in the Materials Science community. The educational and outreach (E&O) components for the UPRM-UW PREM include interventions for high school students and teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students at UPRM. The present report focuses on activities conducted with high school and university students during the third year of the program (2006-07). Results of surveys with student participants indicate that their participation contributes positively to their learning and development in laboratory, research and professional skills, as well as increases student interest in pursuing graduate studies in MSE.
