IntroductionOver the last several years, the United States has witnessed alarming statistics and trends ingraduate and undergraduate enrollment, graduation rates, and participation of minority groups inScience and Engineering (S&E) fields, and in Computer Science in particular. For example,according to the National Science Foundation’s Science and Engineering indicators 2006,underrepresented minorities did not enroll in or completed college at the

Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State Universityare supported by a Motivated Engineering Transfer Student (METS) Center wherestudents can network, study, socialize, and receive informal mentoring. In addition,transfer students can enroll in an Academic Success Class for one credit and attendadditional workshops which are held in the Center. Scholarship for over 30 qualifiedtransfer students are provided each year through an NSF S-STEM Scholarship Program.An experimental scholarship program, for transfer students who do not qualify for NSFS-STEM scholarships, was also evaluated. An emphasis in this project was placed oninvolving women and

. Analternative hypothesis is that there are more women and minorities starting civil or structuralengineering studies now than there were in the past, so the graduate student diversity willincrease as these students continue through the pipeline. However, nationwide data shows that, ifanything, women and minority representation among students in science and engineeringdisciplines has decreased slightly over the past 10 years2,5, making this hypothesis unlikely.Table 1.

Label the relevant parts of the following image [5] 3. The fan pulls quiescent air from the outside and moves it through the front nozzle. If there is 1 kg/s of air brought in and the air moves at a rate of 10 m/s through the nozzle, how much energy is required to run the fan? It can be assumed that you are holding the dryer horizontally, and atmospheric pressure occurs throughout. 4.

Dr. Peeples has mentored a di- verse group of high school, undergraduate and graduate students including three high school students, 64 undergraduate and 13 graduate students, and three postdoctoral fellows in her biochemical engineering laboratories. Five of her current and former doctoral students are underrepresented minority students who are also U. S. citizens, and four are U.S. women. Several of her graduate and undergraduate student re- searchers have won local, regional and national awards for their work. As the first Associate

Our intent here was to push students to not only be able to discern the key points theauthor(s) raise(s) and what information and evidence (or lack thereof) is used to support theirclaims, but also critically consider what the stance of the author is and how this might havecolored his/her assumptions and viewpoint.After evaluating the article as a whole, students are asked to analyze the technology itself andcreate a single presentation slide to summarize their

These numbers point out that bothrecruitment and retention are critical activities to ensuring that we increase the number ofengineering graduates.There are well-known largely untapped resources for more engineers: women, underrepresentedminorities, and community college transfers.

As a result, the criteriafor admissions was modified for the Ujima Scholars Program by the Admissions Office in 2000in direct response to the University’s call for Colleges to raise the SAT threshold. The minimumSAT was increased from 750-800. Students with SATs between 750 and 800 with a strong highschool GPA were considered. Also students with a GPA below 2.0 and a SAT score of 950 orhigher would receive consideration if extenuating circumstances could be substantiated.
