TheEngineering Seminar involved groups of 20-24 students meeting weekly with an individualengineering faculty member with all groups following the same syllabus. The faculty experiencewith this course was that initial student interest started to wane after a number of weeks.Feedback from students indicated that a quite a few resented having to spend the time meetingevery week given the heavy credit load at Stevens. Students also indicated a desire to have moreopportunity to focus on engineering careers, program-related topics and experiences outside theclassroom

American,and Pacific Islander engineering graduates remain significantly underrepresented in engineering[1]. Progress in increasing the retention and persistence of underrepresented populations inengineering degree programs and the engineering workforce has been slow [2]. Furthermore,even less progress has been made in diversifying the engineering workforce, with marginalchange in the proportion of underrepresented minority engineers in the workforce in recentdecades [3], [4]. To address problems of diversification and retention in the STEM workforce,we must explore potential mechanisms to support these aims.The transition from college to the workforce is a critical period for retaining a diverse STEMworkforce.
