robots in STEMrecruitment include: 1) improved student perception in STEM disciplines, 2) expanded studentinterest in choosing STEM careers among students, 3) better student retention rates throughoutSTEM career paths. Robotics present a unique advantage as engineering teaching tool because itcan be used to explain basic concepts in mechanics like Newton’s laws but can also be used forexplaining more involved topics like electronics, hydraulics or programming.The broad goal of this project was to increase awareness of STEM fields; and particularly, thediscipline of fluid power among young students attending middle and high schools. The datapresented here was collected during a series of workshops that used a hydraulic robotic micro-excavator

Initially, the MITE program was intended to serve as a preparation andrecruitment program for first-generation college students and minority groups in engineering,defined as: women, African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans. In 2002, the programwas renamed the Introduction to Engineering, reflecting a conscious decision to make theprogram more overtly inclusive of all demographic groups. The OMP continued to run theprogram and was officially renamed the Center for Diversity in Engineering (CDE) in 2004. Inaddition, in 2003, a new emphasis on hands-on engineering was introduced and material frominteractive engineering teaching kits was incorporated into the ITE program. This included theadoption
