Minority student involvement in computational science research at Texas Southern University |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
There is an extreme shortage of minority students entering STEM fields in general, and computational science in particular. Therefore, a large segment of the national population has potential for contributions to science and research, but this potential is not being fully realized. Several faculty at Texas Southern University have recruited a number of Afro-American and Hispanic students in computational science related research and activities. We describe current computational science projects that involve these students, and our experiences in the process. We make observations on things that were helpful in recruiting and retaining the students in research. Our recommendations are broadly applicable to under-privileged students or to students in educational institutions that have very limited resources and support for computational science. |
