happened during SAGE and reflects onwhat must be improved upon.IntroductionThe underrepresentation of minority students in science, technology, engineering andmathematics (hereafter STEM) has been an enduring crisis in U.S. education. Decrying suchinequity, efforts increased from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s to educate and train minoritystudents in the technical fields. To that end, one would be hard pressed to find a higher educationinstitution that had not developed some sort of program to support minority students’ STEMparticipation1. Though the rate at which students seek to study STEM is increasingly comparableby race/ethnicity, the rate of students graduating with STEM degrees is still disparate2 3 4.

The paper describes the organization and usage of the system, as well asaddresses the publisher’s perspective on this new technology in light of their changing businessmodel.IntroductionFundamentally, a first-year engineering program must accomplish two things. First, it mustattract students who may not be familiar with engineering to consider it as an academic andcareer path. Second, it must prepare students for success in the second year and beyond.Meeting these goals, however, raises some critical challenges. For example
