participants havebeen women and minorities, and 65% plan to pursue engineering in college. IntroductionBy 2010, the Department of Labor predicts a shortage of engineers in the U.S. This shortagemay be attributed to a large group of engineers who will be retiring and a lack of freshengineering talent. Less than 15% of all high school graduates in the U.S. have the math andscience background necessary to enter an undergraduate engineering curriculum.1 Only 2% ofhigh school graduates pursue engineering degrees in college, and only 0.5% of women andminority high school graduates pursue engineering degrees in college.2,3 Proceedings of the 2003 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference
