In order to maintain the competitiveness and leadership in technology, the U.S.needs to reverse these trends and provide assistance to the Hispanic population now, since theywill represent a large portion of its work force in the near future.One recommended reform included in the NSF Science and Engineering Indicators 2002 reportto meet the challenges of Science and Engineering (S&E) higher education is to increase theinvolvement of undergraduate students in research5.

Interviews revealedthat these students tend to (1) feel alone and invisible, (2) lack same race peers and facultymembers, (3) have difficulty applying theory to practice, and (4) lack the pre-college preparationnecessary to succeed in STEM fields.IntroductionIncreasing the number of American college students who complete degrees in science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields is a compelling national interest, as a decliningnumber of workers appropriately skilled in scientific and technical careers threatens U.S. globalcompetitiveness, potentially reduces national security, and almost ensures continued exportationof highly technical

Based on the successful Meyerhoff Scholars Program,1,2,3,4we identify talented diverse incoming engineering students with interest in STEM fields who, forreasons of socioeconomic class, first generation college student status, race, gender, or lack ofhigh school rigor might not be successful in pursuing an engineering degree. Like theMeyherhoff Scholars Program, the M-STEM Academy provides these students with a highlycoordinated support system during the critical transition years between high school graduationand the declaration of an engineering major by the junior undergraduate year.

West TexasABSTRACT Over the last six academic years (2005-2012), #### University (#####) has experienced amajor increase in the number of first-time-in college, first-generation, Hispanic students from theTexas Panhandle choosing to major in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) fields. This underrepresented population of STEM majors at ##### has increased by152% from 103 to 260 which is considerably higher than the overall increase in STEM students(56%) and the overall increase in the Hispanic student population at ##### (64%). This rapidgrowth greatly outpaces the increase in the regional K-12 Hispanic population, which is 20.13%since 2005. Because of the national need for a diverse STEM workforce and the rapidly

attaining college degrees.While there has been a steady increase of Black students attaining college degrees since the1980s, the vast majority of these students have received degrees in the social sciences and thehumanities, with an underrepresentation of Blacks in the science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) disciplines2. This disparity is important to note, not only because theSTEM disciplines tend to offer higher incomes and a more stable workforce, but also because theUnited States is currently experiencing an increase in jobs in STEM disciplines that is not beingmatched by job-seeking graduates3. These findings are seen across race, meaning that whilethere are many minority students who could greatly benefit from jobs in STEM

However, the lack of women and underrepresented persons in the industry is indicative of alarger problem within the aviation industry and questions remain as to why these particular kinds ofindividuals are not pursuing these careers. Aviation is not unique in this way from other Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields, where the struggle to attract and retainunderrepresented individuals is ongoing. While the industry itself has made some strides in trying tocreate a more diverse and inclusive workforce, the evidence indicates that there is still a gap that isnot being filled. The response

Increasing the diversity of engineers may increase the extent towhich the engineering profession is committed to fostering positive societal impacts. Forexample, the communal and helping goals of female science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) students has been found to be stronger than male students [1, 2].

A white, male and able-bodied population hastraditionally dominated engineering. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates historicallyunderrepresented groups will increase half of the workforce by 2050.[3] Given that it is alsowidely understood that historically underrepresented populations face challenges throughout theeducational pipeline often beginning
