support, encourage and motivate students (especially women andunderrepresented students) at three levels: 1) in engineering or math/science classes at thecommunity college level, particularly in the metropolitan Phoenix area, 2) as engineeringtransfers to the Fulton School and 3) as successful graduating engineers. A new exploratoryproject funded by the National Science Foundation (grant # 0836050) is determining theeffectiveness of expanding a program to community colleges in non-metropolitan areas acrossthe state of Arizona by leveraging high school and community outreach activities with thesecolleges.This effort is designed to help build a strategic supply-chain or local pathway that produces adiverse engineering workforce for our local

criterion will help to write the criterion for middle level performance. Thefollowing steps involved to develop scoring rubrics: 1. Define and list learning objectives for a technical course. 2. Identify the specific attributes that students should demonstrate in their performance. 3. Identify each attribute and its characteristics. 4. Identify excellent versus poor work using narrative descriptive criteria. 5. For holistic rubrics, state the highest and lowest levels of performance combining the descriptors for all attributes. 6. For analytical rubrics, state the highest and lowest levels of performance using the descriptions for each attribute separately. 7. Collect student work and record the results. 8. Update and

by the National Science Foundation under award: DUE-0633277.IntroductionThe National Academy of Engineering is advocating that all Americans need to betterunderstand all types of technology not just computers and information technology [1]. While notyet common, some engineering departments offer service courses for non-engineers [2]. Manyof these technological literacy courses have become successful when measured by sustainedstudent interest and long-term sustainability [2,3]. In attempting to enliven introduction toengineering courses, these successful technological literacy courses represent a potential sourcefor themes or topics.In addition to capturing the interest of first year students, efforts to attract students to anengineering
