In other words, the participants were moreentrepreneurial, highly detailed, empathetic engineers, a goal of the Engineer of 2020. Resultsfrom the focus groups showed that the professional activities were valued, but social activitieswere valued more. These findings became clearer in the focus group sessions where studentsindicated that the social activities allowed time for scholars to make social connections acrossacademic disciplines. While much has been learned through approaching gender and intellectualdiversity, much work remains before sustainable progress is made. Plans are now being developedto strengthen the program by incorporating

Parentaleducational level (i.e., completed a bachelor’s) is used as a measure of first-generation college student.The measure of high school preparedness evaluates students’ math and science experience. For instance,students respond to semester of math in high school, math/science course completed, whether advancedplacement courses were offered, and perceived college math preparedness. Students indicated their pathstudents followed to CM major, institutional and curriculum, and future plans.
