Most programs are partially funded bylocal foundations and federal grants; institutional support is also provided in the form of campusclassrooms, laboratories, and voluntary faculty efforts. The goals of the program, which includeincreasing the diversity of participating students, have not changed over the course ofimplementation. However, the recruitment strategies and program activities have evolved duringthe course of this project. Our best practices for inspiring minority students in STEM werebelieved to be:  Hands-on experiences completing real science and engineering projects;  Working in peer based teams for the solution of projects;  On-going support and encouragement from the instructor;  Real world examples

The students would also benefit from taking basic engineeringcourses, i.e. math and science courses at the local institution closer to their “homes” with arelative small class size. A benefit to the mainstream institution would be that they gaindiversity in their graduating classes without proportional expansion of general student recruitingactivities. It is also seen that there might be some nontrivial benefit to participating faculty atmainstream institutions with respect to experiencing effective teaching approaches for diversestudents.

It is not a paved roadway with exit ramps at set intervals, rather a trail that one constructsalong contours of the terrain.

further argued students who complete advanced mathematics and science courseswhile in high school are more academically prepared to pursue and succeed in STEM degreeprograms and professions2,7–12. Adelman8 explains that students at a minimum need to completethree and three-quarters worth of credits in mathematics in high school to successfully pursue abachelor’s degree. Further, students need to complete two and half credits in science, with twoof those having a laboratory portion8. Adelman8 recommends as mathematics courses calculus,pre-calculus, or trigonometry, and the science courses he recommends includes a combination ofbiology, chemistry, and physics. These are the same courses ANSEP recommends high schoolstudents to complete19. Adelman8
