Students may also check out a variety of materials from the AEP library to assist with classes and projects. A computer room is also available with IBM and Macintosh computers and laser printers. Computers may be used by students to write papers or prepare graphs for courses. Be sure to periodically review the bulletin boards which display valuable information about scholarships, conferences, research and career opportunities, and graduate school. A student may receive one award per school year.
Students work as research assistants on projects that are supervised by a faculty mentor.
In addition, students are trained in how to write and present a research paper. Students entering their junior and senior level courses with GPAs of 2.5 or above are eligible to apply. Funding for this program is provided by NSF through the California Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation in the Sciences, Engineering and Mathematics.
