-state, residential students. This is particularly problematicfor low socioeconomic status (SES) students, because they tend to overwhelming select publicland grant universities as their schools of choice for higher education [1]. Most of the popularmajors offered at these institutions are in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields, and those are especially competitive for admission. An additional burden on thelow-SES students is that many of them are in the first generation of their family to attend collegeor are underrepresented minorities (URM). These students contend with issues that manyaffluent, majority individuals cannot comprehend [2].An NSF S-STEM grant, Rising Scholars: Web of Support used as an Indicator of

, it has been difficult to prove the benefits of field trips to both the students and thefield trip hosts [13]. In order to reap the benefits of field trips, previous studies emphasize theimportance of preplanning [13-15]. When planning a good field trip, many instructors match theobjectives of the field trip to the topics that the students are learning in class [16-18]. Onecommon intended benefit of an engineering or technology field trip is to give students exposureto a specific industry and the subjects discussed in class [16], [17]. Field trips are also used inintroduction courses to give the students hands-on experience with the unfamiliar subject [18],[19]. Numerous studies have found other benefits of field trips, including enjoyment of

Results from that summer workshop indicate a range of approaches fornew engineering pathways for pre-service teacher preparation will be required to reflect theparticular culture of the universities. Potential approaches identified include:• The use of a minor in STEM education to complement an existing engineering degree, this reflects additions to existing undergraduate engineering degrees• Post-Baccalaureate degree programs –this minimizes impact to undergraduate engineering degrees• Working with educational technology programs –they tend to have greater flexibility
