. There is a definite challenge in the recruitment and retention of qualityminority students in the engineering disciplines. It is time to address these challenges in truth andoffer solutions that help to address the root causes of current problems. This paper looks at thetwo divisions of a students’ academic career that have the most impact upon their undergraduatesuccess; that is their k-12 foundational education and their first two years in college as anundergraduate. These two divisions are not mutually exclusive nor are they unaffected by outsideinfluences.There are specifically three challenges that need be addressed if we are to seriously make animpact on attracting minorities to engineering careers. The solutions of which must come from

and conceptual difficulties can be a commonexperience among undergraduate engineering students, ethnic minority engineering studentsoften face additional challenges in their undergraduate programs, which can make them feelisolated and hinder their ability to integrate into their college campuses. Integration into thecollege environment plays an important role in students feeling a sense of belonging on campus,and ultimately in their decisions to persist. Racial and ethnic minority students who areintegrated into the college environment through various means can find supports such as friendswith similar backgrounds, advice from advanced students, and role models and advisors, whichcan positively influence academic performance.

Beyond the problem of high attrition rates of Latinas in engineering and computerscience, the researcher sought to understand how Latinas respond to the culture of engineering,which drives many students away. To further understand how the engineering culture cancultivate or dissuade Latina persisters, it was most beneficial to invest in students whosuccessfully navigated and persisted in the field of engineering, rather than to focus on those whodid not persist in engineering.As an engineering administrator, the researcher felt it necessary to demonstrate an

The purpose of therevised approach is to better evaluate an extremely diverse population of applicants. The detailsfor the revised approach will be demonstrated through the use of data mining, statisticalmethods and association rule mining.UIC is located in Chicago, Illinois and enrolls greater than 20,000 students from a widespectrum of socio-economic neighborhoods.

This was in addition to many other opportunities of exposureoffered by the PEEC camp, which are beyond the focus of this paper.Another important need is to build confidence that the student can accomplish the challenges ofcollege life. The schedule of the surveying course (and the entire PEEC camp) was set up in a waythat would push the students as though the two week camp was to simulate the worst last twoweeks of a semester. In going through this schedule, and the toughness of the surveying coursestimulated and brought to light the fear that was initially in their minds before coming to camp;students started to open up about

The program was originally designed as a recruitment tool, but in the last year’ssummer, it served as a retention strategy as well.In recent years, high school students have been attracted to our engineering programs (or otherSTEM fields); however the lack of a solid pre-calculus background contributed to their failureduring the first year. This was due to poor grades in the remedial math courses or a delay inmoving forward caused by the multiple remedial classes that they had to take. Similar incidentsare reported in the literature for colleges and universities around the nation. 2, 4, 5, 7 However,through Math Boot Camps, some universities have successfully

It reports findings of anexploratory study that investigates avenues through which traditional facultyresponsibilities (i.e., teaching, research, and service) within STEM occur via social media(e.g., Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn) along with ways that URM faculty researchersare branding themselves across a variety of social media platforms.
