, might “drop off” the school altogether, might find jobsand abandon their educational objectives or perhaps discontinue for a short period of time andstart again later. Although it is nearly impossible to eliminate loss of students from the program,it is possible to minimize this loss by implementing several tactics. Critical factors affecting theretention of the students within the mechanical engineering program at AAMU are classattendance and participation, early exposure of potential students to mechanical engineeringtopics, advising, student competitions, participation in summer internship programs, participationin externally funded research projects, and utilization of multimedia and other technologies forunderstanding of topics.Class

The aim was to recruit and retain students inscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and facilitate their academicsuccess through hands on learning. Through an application process which considered studentinterests and backgrounds, awardees were paired with a faculty mentor to work on a researchproject over the summer.

In addition, the scholarship awards need to becomplemented with academic support programs so that students persist to graduation.In this paper, these ideas will be illustrated using results from a National Science Foundation(NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) projectthat targets students from underrepresented groups who have financial need, but do not qualifyfor university-level scholarships.
