alternative energy sources. And that was good as far as itwent; my sense was that it did not go far enough.FIGs at UW-MadisonIn Fall of 2007 I had the opportunity to conduct one of only two FIG (Freshman Interest Group)courses in the College of Engineering. This led me to a review of ideas for first year curriculumreform. Most first year programs have as a primary aim the improved retention and academicsupport for beginning students; an emphasis on under-represented students is usually important.In addition, such programs strive to move freshmen more quickly into a mature and productiveunderstanding of their career choices and their implications; essential skills can be emphasized insuch programs to speed up the students’ development of engineering

375 academically prepared STEM majors from seven different collegesand universities, Seymour and Hewett (1997) indicated that the most commonly reported factorsamong all students entering as a STEM major were: intrinsic interest in STEM; persuasion orinfluence of individuals such as parents, teachers, and mentors; desire for a high paying job orprestigious career; strong high school performance in math and science; family tradition; andrecruitment. Closely related to self-motivation in STEM was a social commitment to specificcareer goals (Seymour, 1997).

areas, the discovery of newapplications of that knowledge, and the creation of new markets in which to apply theseapplications have caused a “significant shift in employment opportunities” (Creed, Suuberg, &Crawford, 2002, p. 185) for which many current engineering graduates are not adequatelyprepared.As a result, the professional outlook and career path for an engineer looks very different than itdid in the past. In an article about de-industrialization and its effect on engineering education,Wei (2005) remarked that, “research and development in manufacturing companies used to beviewed as a glamorous career for the brightest engineering graduates, but the number ofattractive job offers has been declining for many years” (p.130).

Professorsare aware of the needs for rigor and excellence in the classroom and sensitivity to theabove factors that compromise such. Experienced faculty have already come toequilibrium in balancing standards versus sensitivity, and rigor versus rapport. However,NEE often have difficulty in establishing equilibrium and may start their teaching career aseither too easy and casual, or too hard and hard-line. Some will go through a series ofunder damped oscillations (flip-flops) between these extremes before reachingequilibrium

The Urban STEM project wasdesigned to address challenges faced at the three urban institutions collaborating for the project,and in particular the need for many of the engineering students to work a significant number ofhours each week, resulting in them taking fewer course hours each semester and beingdisconnected from their peers, faculty, and campus. These factors are especially concerning forstudents who are underrepresented in engineering majors, as they already leave engineeringmajors and careers at higher rates.
