The Center for Infrastructure Engineering at Texas A&M University, in a collaborative effort with Texas A&M University -- Kingsville (TAMU-K), proposes a Graduate Research Traineeship (GRT) project that will focus a program of doctoral study on the infrastructure issues associated with the colonias in the border region of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Colonias represent both densely populated and scattered developments along the entire U.S. border with Mexico. They lack the fundamental infrastructures of a developed nation, as well as those infrastructures associated with education, health care, and environmental protections. In Texas, there are an estimated 1,193 colonias sites with over 500,000 residents of Hispanic origin. The proposed GRT project will incorporate a Ph.D. Pipeline for Hispanics. Two of the GRTs will complete the M.S. degree under program funding at TAMU-K, and then earn the Ph.D. at Texas A&M. TAMU-K is the engineering institution of access for Hispanics in South Texas, home to over one-third of the 4.5 million Texans of Hispanic origin. For GRTs in civil engineering infrastructures this area of focus provides an opportunity to conduct research, develop and implement applications technologies, and better define the relationship of infrastructure engineering to an important societal context.

德克萨斯 A&M 大学基础设施工程中心与德克萨斯 A&M 大学金斯维尔分校 (TAMU-K) 合作，提出了一个研究生研究实习 (GRT) 项目，该项目将重点开展与基础设施相关问题的博士研究计划。德克萨斯州、新墨西哥州、亚利桑那州和加利福尼亚州边境地区的殖民地。 殖民地代表了整个美国与墨西哥边境沿线人口稠密和分散的开发区。 他们缺乏发达国家的基础设施，以及与教育、医疗、环境保护相关的基础设施。 在德克萨斯州，估计有 1,193 个殖民地遗址，拥有超过 500,000 名西班牙裔居民。 拟议的 GRT 项目将纳入一名博士生。西班牙裔的管道。 其中两名 GRT 将完成硕士学位。在 TAMU-K 的项目资助下获得学位，然后获得博士学位。在德克萨斯农工大学。 TAMU-K 是德克萨斯州南部为拉美裔提供服务的工程机构，德克萨斯州 450 万拉美裔中超过三分之一居住在该州。 对于土木工程基础设施中的 GRT 来说，这一重点领域提供了进行研究、开发和实施应用技术的机会，并更好地定义基础设施工程与重要社会背景的关系。
