This issue isparticularly germane to the State of Washington where 50,000 jobs will go unfilled by 2017 as aresult of the job skills gap.1 Despite awareness of this need, populations that are underserved inengineering are a largely overlooked demographic. We have an opportunity to make a differenceright here in Washington, where in 35 percent of school districts more than half of the studentsreceive free- or reduced-price lunches.The Washington State Academic RedShirt (STARS) Program, based on the University ofColorado’s GoldShirt Program, aims to increase the number of students from economically- andeducationally-disadvantaged backgrounds who graduate with

The state of Washington ranks firstnationally in its concentration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)jobs, but between 2012 and 2017 approximately 30,000 jobs in Washington will go unfilled dueto the lack of qualified STEM candidates3. To help fill this deficit of qualified employees andnarrow the income achievement gap, the Washington STate Academic RedShirt (STARS) inEngineering Program was conceived to increase the number of engineering and computer sciencegraduates from the University of Washington and Washington State University.“Redshirt” programs are common in athletics; in these programs, an athlete is given a year toprepare to compete in athletics at the

Yet, all of these studies aggregate STEM disciplines, leaving student selection intoengineering majors still relatively ambiguous. Unlike science, technology, and mathematics,engineering curricula have not been widely adopted in K-12 schools; this means that students haveless exposure to the field during secondary education.

In additionto the benefits of diverse perspectives, the reduced size of the pool of potential STEMpractitioners reduces the ultimate number of those practitioners.
