She began her career as a packaging equipment engineer at Procter and Gamble, then moved to Anheuser-Busch where she worked for over 27 years. She worked as project manager, engineering manager, utility manager, maintenance manager, and finally as the Resident Engineer managing all technical areas of the facility. During her tenure, the brewery saw dramatic increases in productivity improvement, increased use of automation systems, and significant cost reductions in all areas including utilities where they received the internal award for having the best utility

Originally from Mexico, Dr. Santillan-Jimenez joined UK first as an undergraduate research intern and then as a graduate student performing his doctoral research at UK CAER and at the University of Alicante (Spain). After obtaining his Ph.D. in 2008, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Utrecht University (The Netherlands) prior to retuning to UK CAER, where he now holds the position of Princi- pal Research Scientist. His current research focuses on the application of heterogeneous catalysis to the production of renewable fuels and chemicals, with emphasis on the upgrading of algae oil to drop-in hy- drocarbon fuels. His synergistic activities include participating in a number of K-20

Inthe beginning of October, about a month into their freshman year, these engineering studentswere already able to present their Nao robot projects to the public at events such as the Scienceand Technology Education Partnership (STEP) conference, and Long Night of Arts andInnovation of Riverside. Thousands of people showed up at these events and our engineeringstudents had the opportunity to share their passion in engineering, encouraged the children towork hard on their math and science, and made them aware that STEM field career can be funusing the example of designing robots and programming them.

Byhelping students to “make the connections” between STEM subjects and real-worldissues, these strategies are expected to increase student interest in STEM disciplines,enrich learning experiences for students, and enhance the skills of STEM educators onthe content and application of STEM subjects.

Only students with a strong commitment are likely to put in the time and effort required tosucceed. Unfortunately, many students enter engineering study without a clear picture of what engineering isor of the rewards and opportunities of an engineering career. Although the need to remedy this situationexists among all students, it may be even greater among traditionally underrepresented students.
