This initiative diversified and continued our undergraduate research program by including our Eco Centro, a community outreach center for environmental sustainability, into this program; 3) promote additional outreach and educational efforts to support our students and encourage them to seek careers in STEM and green energy-related fields; and 4) participate in on-going evaluation and research

This paper describes a work in progress and will provides an update on the NIC to thebroader engineering community.BackgroundMinority males are underrepresented in STEM careers in comparison to their numbers in thegeneral population. As shown in Figure 1, Black males are 5.6% of the US population but only2.9% of the engineering workforce. In comparison, white males are 31.8% of the US population,but are overrepresented in the engineering workforce at 63.5%. Disparities betweenrepresentation in the S & E workforce versus the

As the body of engineeringknowledge increases at more rapid pace, students must continue to learn to stay relevantthroughout their careers. ABET acknowledges this reality through their student outcome (i) whichrequires students to recognize the need to and engage in life-long learning.2 More appropriately,faculty may need to assist students along a transition from pedagogical to andragogical learningthroughout the

The strugglethat K12 teachers have faced over the past few decades is well documented. What is less documented, ishow collegiate level faculty can leverage the knowledge and experiences of these K12 teachers. Theconstantly evolving pedagogical best-known practices within K12 science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) exist to alleviate the underlying problem: students generally fail to see the relevance,cross-cutting ideas, and real world connections

The new SAT re-alignmentseems to have widened the overall gap in performance for males and females; however, womenwho consider Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) careers outperform males[10]. While these facts should give women a competitive advantage and encourage enrollment incollege engineering programs, the rate of freshmen enrollment is only 18% [10, p. 7]. In otherwords, 82% of engineering undergraduate degrees are earned by male students.When the rate of completion is examined by university type, the results show a different picture.Of the universities that granted the most degrees to women, by percentage, only three

How does participation in the program influence youth attitudes towards STEM in general and engineering in particular? 3. How does participation in the program influence youth plans for future college and career?ProgramDesignThe TechHive program was designed to create a culture of HOMAGO (Hang Out, Mess Around& Geek Out) for participants.
