2011 program.IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a push in the United States to increase the number of studentspursuing and completing studies in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) disciplines.1,2 There are two primary tasks that are needed for this goal to beaccomplished. First, more students need to be attracted to pursue college-level studies in theSTEM fields. Second, once those students are attracted to a STEM field, the colleges anduniversities must provide an attractive, nurturing environment designed to allow a wide range ofstudents to succeed, while still providing a rigorous technical education.
