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.

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.
