Pennsylvania State University will establish a Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO) to provide research experiences for minority engineering students during their undergraduate years. The Center will be a component of the existing Minority Engineering Program (MEP) in the College of Engineering. CURO will begin operations with 20 minority engineering or science students selected as research scholars. These students will be appointed to work with faculty and staff in research units (laboratories or centers) within the College of Engineering, or participating interdisciplinary research units within the University. The appointments will be for a period of two academic semesters, or for the summer session. Twenty-five research units with the University have agreed to participate in this project initially. The students will be required to take a course in "Research Methodology" to get training in the conduct of research. The research faculty and staff will be provided with an orientation course on cultural diversity to improve their skills for interacting closely with students of diverse backgrounds. At the end of the appointment period each student will be required to make a "Report of Research Activity." Over a five year period the Center proposes to support a total of 120 minority engineering and science students as undergraduate research scholars. After this period, the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities for Minority Engineering Students will become an integral part of the participating research units with the University and the Minority Engineering Program.

宾夕法尼亚州立大学将建立本科生研究机会中心（CURO），为少数族裔工科学生提供本科期间的研究经验。 该中心将成为工程学院现有少数族裔工程项目（MEP）的组成部分。 CURO 将从 20 名被选为研究学者的少数族裔工程或科学学生开始运营。 这些学生将被任命与工程学院内的研究单位（实验室或中心）或大学内参与跨学科研究单位的教职员工一起工作。 这些任命将持续两个学期或夏季课程。 该大学共有二十五个研究单位初步同意参与该项目。 学生将被要求参加“研究方法”课程，以获得进行研究的培训。 研究教职员工将接受有关文化多样性的迎新课程，以提高他们与不同背景的学生密切互动的技能。 在预约期结束时，每个学生都需要制作一份“研究活动报告”。 该中心计划在五年内支持总共 120 名少数民族工程和科学学生作为本科研究学者。 在此期间之后，少数族裔工程学生本科生研究机会中心将成为大学和少数族裔工程项目参与研究单位的组成部分。
