Qualitative Case StudyAbstractThe necessity for a highly qualified STEM work force has created national educationalinitiatives, both secondary and post-secondary, to address the need for increasing theparticipation of underrepresented people in STEM related fields. These efforts have includedstrengthening secondary Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and preparing studentsto have a strong foundation in high school mathematics and science courses. While women haveclosed the gap in academic performance in high school mathematics and science courses, andattainment of post-secondary degrees, they pursue undergraduate engineering degrees at a muchlower rate than men. In order for the United States to meet the demand for qualified

Some past research had observed about 60% increase in participants eventuallyattending graduate or professional education as with our goal in the program (e.g., [1], [2], [6 -13]). Sadler and McKinney [10] noted undergraduate students’ increases in graduate educationinterest, building research skills, and confidence in research. One study found that students, whoparticipated in REUs, came to value the role that the faculty mentor played [12].

However, very little has focused on the issues faced byunderrepresented minorities who pursue a graduate degree or the need for effective mentoring ofpost-docs and faculty in engineering to attract and retain them to pursue academic careers.Women and ethnic minorities usually do not persist in academia because they frequently receivelower salaries, heavier teaching loads, less research support, and serve on more committees thantheir male counterparts. Although these disparities are more pronounced at the faculty level, thisleads to higher attrition rates at every level of career their development, starting at theundergraduate level.This paper will present our approach and preliminary results of a National

The frameworkof this project is to study and address several institutionally identified attrition points including:(i) high attrition of first- and second-year students, (ii) slow pace of students to matriculation intothe Civil and Mechanical Engineering programs, and (iii) low participation and completion ratesof women, underrepresented minorities, and first-generation students.

Variables of interest focused on sex, ethnicity, and STEMmajor status. Results and implications are discussed in the following manuscript.Introduction The significance of underrepresented women entering STEM (science, technology,engineering, and mathematics) fields and careers is critical for extinguishing the long-lastingnegative stereotypes around women and minorities in the field [1]. Both women and racialminorities have historically been the lowest group to be involved within the STEM fields andhave been so for several years [2]. Prior work suggests that women are less likely to seek andobtain STEM degrees
