The primary aims of this plan would be to: Establish long-range goals and objectives; Accelerate the expansion of the pool of prepared and motivated minority high school students; Identify localities where programs are needed, develop strategies for serving those needs, and assign responsibility for accomplishing the goals of the minorities in engineering effort; Estimate the total cost of reaching the goal of parity representation and obtain adequate funding; and Develop methods for continuous monitoring of program progress and effect...
