Shadowing young alumnialso allowed the students to see a role model in an engineering career who is not much older thanthey are. This allowed the students to see becoming an engineer as a realistic, short-term goal.Students Losing Scholarship Eligibility Does Not Mean the Scholarship Program WasUnsuccessfulThree students who received scholarship funding lost their funding due to no longer meeting theminimum academic requirements and continued to be enrolled in the engineering program untilthey obtained an engineering

In order to understand the gender gap in STEM fields, it isimportant to understand the factors contributing to college major selection that begin to developwell before college enrollment. A large body of research has focused on the pre-college factorsand experiences that influence this gender gap in STEM. The majority of these influences fallwithin three main categories: academic and nonacademic experiences (Goldin et al, 2006; Grantet al, 2000; Whitt

One critical component of this thread is exposing students to ethical considerationsthat they may encounter in their professional careers and preparing the students to deal withthem.This paper discusses the process by which we have identified how to deconstruct the componentsof a traditional delivery of ethics education and integrate them throughout the instruction oftechnical content. A well-established method to raise the perceived relevance of ethics educationin engineering is to provide discipline-specific case studies and industrial scenarios [1], [2]. Bycrafting case studies to the technical material that the students are currently studying, we aim
