New Mexico AMP is aligned with other federal-funded programs in New Mexico who share a common vision, such as the College AssistanceMigrant Program (CAMP), Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM), and the STEM Talent ExpansionProgram (STEP). Collectively, these and other programs have resulted in a statewide networkthat has become part of the fabric of higher education

school,but working in groups in college is a complete different experience. In high school, working in agroup for me would usually mean that I did all the research and then (would) tell everyone elsewhat I needed them to do for the completion of the project. A complete turn around from highschool was college. Now, working in a group means that we all do our individual research andmeet and discuss thing(s) together as a real team.” Hopefully these students will continue to bein good teams throughout college.Only a few students said that they expected to get close to the grades that they had predicted.Several students said that getting a 3.25 or 3.5 so they could keep their scholarships was a goodenough goal.

disparity between thepercentage of ethnic minorities in the U. S. population and their enrollment in and graduationfrom engineering programs illuminates the importance of faculty actively seeking to understandand address diversity issues2. In order to improve activities and diversity efforts, one needs togather information on the issues specific to their institution and be willing to discuss the pros andcons of certain situations or classroom techniques. Improvement can be initiated by firstadmitting the possibility that we, as faculty members, may inadvertently contribute to anunfriendly climate and we must study ways to promote a healthy, welcoming environment for allstudents.Developing a diverse engineering workforce is of utmost importance for
