program, theMinority Engineering Transfer and Articulation (META) program (2001-2004), allowed us totake the successful components of the program, targeted only to pre-engineering students, andredesign the program, targeting more broadly to underrepresented students in all Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic (STEM) disciplines.The redesign has allowed SCCORE to become a sustainable and successful program, asevidenced by the number of students who have transferred and those who have enrolled ingraduate school. The program started with all the alliance community colleges and one hostuniversity, New Mexico State University, located in the southern part of the state. The programhas now been modified in structure to include all the
ofstudents entering Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields out ofcollege. However, upon closer reflection, the focus today is to increase the number of studentsentering STEM fields out of high school through direct employment as technicians or going tocollege in a STEM field. High schools around the country have replaced or enhanced theirofferings in the areas that used to cover shop and home economics. We see high schools withSTEM programs that are focused on drafting, electronics, and college STEM preparation.1Success in STEM focused high school programs relies on students entering with a desire to studyand/or enter STEM fields. Therefore, numerous states have elementary and middle schools thatare either becoming magnet

Page 26.643.3While these efforts show that some engineering education is working towards increases in SRattitudes, some quantitative studies have shown that SR decreases more for women than menover one year – 23.6% of first-year women decreased while only 9.1% increased, 15.1% of mendecreased while 19.8% increased35. Further, engineering students’ perceived importance of thesocial impacts of engineering (such as “professional/ethical responsibilities” and the“consequences of technology”) were found to decrease from the first to fourth years indicating a“culture of disengagement” in engineering education36.The overall goals of the research are to explore the SR development of engineering studentsthrough college, using qualitative methods.

It isnecessary to find an alternative teaching strategy in engineering courses, particularly forconveying scientific principles to real situations. To assess innovative methods for solving theproblems and limitations of the traditional teaching model in chemical engineering andbiomedical engineering, a half interactive hands-on learning experiment, half lecture-teachingmodel is being explored. In this process, having the aim of a better understanding and absorptionof key principles and difficult concepts in fluid mechanics and neuronal membrane physiology,we are combining multimedia technology with whiteboard and hands-on tabletop units.A Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer course

Forthose projects that require a motor the students must identify torque, horsepower, and RPMneeds derived from their analysis. Upon the conclusion of the analysis, students present theirfindings in Critical Design Review (CDR) presentation, to simulate workplace environment,write the final report, and create complete product definition (engineering drawings and models).It is worth noting that there are many skills integrated in our approach, which are aligned withNational Academy of Engineering report on Engineers of 2020 [6] and Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) (www.abet.org) students learning outcomes (outcomes band c).

There is also an apparent contradiction between if theirscience elective has aided them in understanding their chosen specialization compared to if theyhave been able to use the information gained in their science elective.
