Requisites for Engineering is a summerenrichment program for local high school students targeting female and ethnic minority students whotraditionally are underrepresented in engineering fields. This four-week, half-day, non-profit program isdesigned to enable 20-30 participants to acquire a degree of understanding of the engineering fieldsthrough participation in laboratory-oriented studies. Participants typically will have completed the 9th,10th or 11th grade, have above average math and science skills, a solid academic record, teacherrecommendations and a commitment to participate for the full four weeks. This program has been inoperation by Speed School of Engineering since 1981, with the following results: 692 participants from1981-2011, 462

It might be expected, therefore, that the addition of subjects distant fromthe main disciplines would lead to an unfavourable reaction to their inclusion.However, investigations of liberal study programmes by Peers and Madgwick [28] andAndrews and Mares
