Abstract

The Collaborative Interdisciplinary Research Community (CIRC) program which aims at increasing the number of both women students and minorities seeking a graduate degree in engineering is discussed. The CIRC informative sessions include guest lectures, writing a resume to obtain an internship, how to select and apply for graduate school and obtaining funds. Women and minority groups are encouraged to apply for scholarships based on good academic achievement. This project is found to be very beneficial for students as they are deriving financial benefits from it and are also obtaining research positions.
