University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee(UWM) College of Engineering & Applied Science (CEAS) assumed that significant principlesof the Information Technology Life Skills Career Development9 (IT-LSCD) model for youngadults could transfer to educational aspects of another technical discipline. IT-LSCD, as themodel operated from 1998 – 2003 in the UWM School of Information Studies, primarily servedthe learning needs of urban minority high school students. The intent was to help these learnersmake sense of emerging fields and learn how to overcome obstacles between them and society’stechnical fabric. Model fundamentals comprised education, training, mentoring, counseling,subsidy, tutoring, evaluation, recommendations for revision(s) as necessary, and

In this regard, focus group interviews will beutilized to facilitate collective reflection and dialogue by providing students opportunities toopenly discuss their learning experiences with fellow peers.Resultantly, Phase 3 of this long-term project involves developing communication channels withfaculty in the school of engineering who have underrepresented minorities conducting researchunder their supervision in order to assist each other in identifying and recruiting more students.REFERENCES[1] Russell, S.

Inherent Social Constraints: The Jordanian women were affected with all the inherited social constraints that may deviate their thinking from getting involved in certain activities. Some of these activities do not welcome women. For instance, attitude tests in the 1970’s demonstrated that social implications and social responsibility issues have a significant effect on girls’ choices, but little on boys’1. This is in spite of the fact that studies indicated that men and women are attracted to the engineering profession for similar reasons, including ability in mathematics and science, career opportunities, challenge, and good salary prospects. 2.

Government WorkplaceAbstractThis paper reports the results of a quantitative, nonexperimental, cross-sectional, one-time, web-based survey on the career self-efficacy1 of self-selected black engineers in the engineeringworkplace—a workplace that has been described as a “haven of whiteness and masculinity”3,p.14and “pale” and “male”4,p.86. Engineering has been a key component of the U.S.’s globaltechnological superiority. However, U.S. racial demographics are changing. The number ofwhites currently in the workforce and the number of whites entering the workforce will decreaseover the next several decades. Given current college and university graduation rates by race, thenumber of underrepresented minority engineers is not on a path to maintain the

environment).CurriculumAs in any academic program, the development of a cohesive curriculum is important, particularlywhen the program extends across departments, learning environments and academic institutions.The perspective of the community college on curriculum and the transferability of courses can bequite different from that of the 4-year institution. During the process of developing anarticulation agreement, it is not unusual for the community college to ask for a number of corepre-engineering courses (e.g., calculus, physics, chemistry, Engineering Design) that thecommunity college student could use to transfer into the engineering (and computer science)program/s at the 4-year institution. These core courses are selected so as to reflect the
