. Activitiesof the program included: pre-test and post-test to gauge knowledge and interest; field trips todemonstrate green energy; professional STEM presenters; ArcGIS® software training todemonstrate geographical constraints. Field trips associated with the program included visits tothe Iowa Flood Center, to Iowa Hydraulics Modules and to the Kirkwood Community CollegeWind Turbine. The students worked in pairs and had to answer the question: Which geographicalfactors are most important when placing a wind turbine? Students presented the results of theirmapping exercise to their peers and mentors. Comparison of pre and post STEM interest surveyswere used to reveal the program impact, and provided guidance for further improvement of theprogram.17

Once a student is accepted into the school of engineering,s/he is classified as an engineering major and once s/he begins as a first-time, full-timestudent, the student is part of the cohort that is tracked and reported for retention andgraduation data analysis.In order for information to be consistent, the cohort of students in a program has

In addition, they write about their progress and challenges in a blog or on-lineworksheet.) A key aspect of this program is to engage parents substantively. Working with the schools,LSA prepares events which guide parents to understand education and career paths for theirchildren in STEM and STEM-related professions. LSA does this with the hope that in additionto being better able to advocate for their children, parents (many of whom are young themselvesand un- or under-employed) will see STEM in their own education or career path.

Also, if the student spoke beyond thethree minute time limit they were politely interrupted by the facilitator, this techniquewas utilized to prevent excessive speech content. After the impromptu speech activity,the audience consisting of the student speaker’s peers was asked to provide constructivecomments regarding the quality of the speech. At the completion of the activity, a winnerwas chosen by audience voting with respect to delivery, performance, content, and theuse of visual aids.

multiple methods simultaneously (e.g., presenting PowerPoint slides while writing on the whiteboard) in an effort to be as thorough as possible and reach a wider range of learning styles. The utilization of multiple learning tools presented in concert means that the students are no longer focused exclusively on the teacher. Their visual attention is divided between all of the different sources of information. However, hearing students are still engaged with teachers through spoken language. This is problematic for deaf and hard-of-hearing students for numerous reasons as previously noted. o Different sources of information being presented are

Students were then required to write a paper answering specific questions, and presenttheir findings to at least two classes at their high school.

Findings are reported by incorporatingmulti-level factors, including but not limited to gender, rank, geographical location, andprivate/public status of the institutions.

. Johnson et al. write, “…there is nothing special about the waterthat stays in the pipe and that which leaks” [7, p. 342]. Still others note that careers are morecomplex than the “leaking only” action of the pipeline – some successful scientists may leaveand then return, or may find fulfillment in other fields [22]. As an alternative, authors haveproposed other models, such as Etzkowitz’s [23] “vanish box” in which underrepresentedstudents (women, in particular) tend to vanish from scientific careers, but reappear in careers thatcombine science with business or communication skills. Perna [24] also suggests a “multiplepathways” model, which has been picked up by advocates for minority engineers [19]. Perna’smodel allows for alternate routes within

The studentcould never fully relax during the program because he/she was worried about not getting theclasses of his/her choice.
