Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright ©2005, American Society for Engineering Education”IntroductionThe shortage of engineering, science, and mathematics students in our nation’s colleges anduniversities requires attracting students to science and technology programs that have nothistorically been attracted to such programs [1]. Over the past 50 years these fields havepredominately recruited students that have had an inherent interest in the fields, but one couldalso submit that there also existed a national fervor for science fueled by the momentum fromWorld War II and the space race. After 50 years this momentum has dissipated [2]. Thepercentage of science and engineering graduates relative to the total number
