One method tohelp recruit underrepresented students into the science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) pipeline is to provide STEM interventions to pre-college students.This paper discusses a novel STEM intervention that occurs at a technical engineering researchconference and targets underserved high school students from varying geographic conferencelocations. The primary categories of underserved students targeted for this intervention areAfrican American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American/Pacific Islander, and socioeconomicallydisadvantaged students. In this paper, we discuss the challenges associated with

The project is named “Modern Blanket Toss” after theNative tradition of the blanket toss, which enabled people to be lofted into the air and expand theirrange of observation beyond the immediate surroundings. The program addresses an identified need forSTEM initiatives in rural Alaska through the use of an innovative structure and a novel learning toolthat is replicable and scalable to other high schools.The MBT program is currently in year 2 of a 3-year effort, serving over 50 students from 6 differentvillages.

Packard3 concluded that community colleges often provide an entry point for firstgeneration, low income, racial/ethnic minority or non-traditional college students. Increasing thenumbers of successfully graduating minority students in Science, Technology, Engineering andMath (STEM) is known to be achieved by intentional strategies to recruit students to and retainstudents at community colleges: emphasizing dual credit classes in high school, providingopportunity for career related experiences and providing community-related support4.

The presence ofethical decision making in medical or psychological professions may be more obvious to thegeneral public than in engineering. Although the existence of ethical decisions may not beimmediately recognizable in engineering, these dilemmas do exist. For example, a civil engineermay face environmental ethics decisions when designing a road that would cut through amountain; or a mechanical engineer may be required to serve as an expert witness on a court caseinvestigating the responsible

K-12 teachers to infuse engineering intotheir science classrooms, action must be taken to ensure teachers are prepared to successfullyimplement the new standards. Waiting until students reach middle or high school to incorporateengineering practices into the classroom is too late, as students begin making career decisionsand developing vital academic skills in elementary school. This makes the elementary years animportant time for introducing engineering, yet little is known about how prepared elementaryteachers are to integrate engineering practices into their science lessons. Most teacher preparation programs do not prepare elementary teachers to incorporateengineering practices into their classrooms, and professional development
