Richard Tapia
Celebration of Diversity in Computing (2005)
Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing
is the third in a series of events designed to celebrate the technical
contributions and career interests of diverse people in computing fields.
Engineering
Bridges Meeting (Bridges)
This meeting is designed to develop plans for a
comprehensive program to increase the number of underrepresented minority
students that are excited, motivated, and well-prepared to enter engineering
majors and to complete those majors to graduation.
A Texas Leadership
Conference: Using Modeling, Visualization, and Data Management as Tools
for Transferring Current Research into High School Mathematical Sciences
(MVSK12)
This meeting brought stakeholders throughout Texas
to investigate how computation has affected the way that science and
mathematics are done and the import of that to K-12 mathematics and
science education.
NSF Summit Meeting
on Promoting National Minority Leadership in Science and Engineering (LEADCON)
Despite a generation of intense efforts, the nation
continues to face the dilemma of perilously low minority representation
in Science and Engineering. Most troubling and threatening to future
success is the lack of the next generation's minority national leadership.
Who will replace the critically few senior minority national leaders
if we do not identify, nurture, and entitle potential leaders?
To address this problem, CEEE sponsored
the Summit Meeting on Promoting National Minority Leadership in Science
and Engineering, October 18-19, 1999 at Rice University in
Houston, Texas. Imperative to the meeting's success was having people
in attendance with the vision, determination, and clout to create and
promote an effective plan that universities, industry, government and
funding agencies will embrace and implement.
The SLOAN Engineering
and Science Underrepresented Minority Ph.D.s Recruitment and Retention
Conference (SLOAN)
Rice University hosted the Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation's Engineering and Science Underrepresented Minority
Ph.D. Recruitement and Retention Conference. The goal of this conference
was to provide Sloan Minority Program grantees an opportunity to gain
deeper insight into the current issues, challenges and problems that
affect minority graduate education, share ideas and solutions with the
community of scholars working on this naitional-agenda issue, and thereby
strengthen and enhance their programs.
