) indicates that demand for engineers will continue to show asteady growth during the 2014-2024 period and expects greater-than-average growth fromseveral individual engineering fields with rates ranging from 23.1% for biomedical engineers to5.3% for mechanical engineers. The increasing employment of engineers in service industries,research and development, and consulting is expected to generate most of the employmentgrowth.A high level of achievement in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)education is essential if the U.S. is to maintain a leading role in space science, aeronautics,cybersecurity, and technology in general. At the same time, too many students are graduatinghigh school without the skills needed to succeed in

This indicates the need for more programsthat encourage exposure and education for minoritized students within computing andcomputer science at this critical pre-higher education junction in order to improve recruitmentand retention at the university level and beyond.Scholarships Scholarships offer opportunities for students to pursue higher education and attendconferences in their field. They provide support in one of the most crucial ways to overcomebarriers to computing: financial support. We found numerous scholarships for minoritizedstudents in engineering, computing and computer science, and technology.

thisobjective, the authors will also share student feedback on the course that was collected throughmid- and end-of-semester surveys for nearly twenty undergraduate students. The authors believethat a classroom environment that emphasizes discovery – where students act as researchers andplay an active role in building their own knowledge – is a format that can be readily adapted toother engineering disciplines; furthermore, it can inspire higher-level thinking and lead to a moreengaging learning experience.IntroductionIn a status report prepared for the National Research Council’s Board of Science Education,Fairweather1 states there is prevailing evidence that there are greater student learning gains inScience, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM
