URM is the classification given tothe following groups: African American, Hispanic American or Latino, Native American, NativeHawaiian or Pacific Islander. In the US, these groups comprise 31.1% of the population [3], yetthey are only 17.4% of the student population pursuing engineering degrees [4].

Instead of being an academic exercise, each student engineering designproject was a practical attempt to envision the potential benefits to the community.For example, one school maintained a school garden.
