significant step to address theissues of underrepresentation. She outlined how the time was right for rethinking the curricula inSTEM fields. In engineering, ABET’s EC 2000 provided an opportunity to redesign thecurricula to capitalize on existing literature to reduce the barriers for underrepresentedpopulations within science and engineering 8. She provided an outline of what is known aboutscience education and how it can be transferred across STEM disciplines. In the discussionsfollowing her address, she specifically identified service learning as one potential means ofintegrating important aspects into the core undergraduate curricula.This paper will explore how an outreach program in engineering and science can be implementedusing a service

and Civil engineering majors at Georgia Tech. As there is always sufficient number of students enrolled in those majors, this course is taught at lease once every year.g) ENGR 1103 – Principles of Engineering Analysis and Design (Fall 2002) This is comparable to “Introduction to Engineering” course as is customarily taught in most engineering programs. The only difference is that ASU course is taught at sophomore level instead of the freshman level with pre-calculus as prerequisite. Primarily, this course introduces students to the engineering career opportunity, course requirements, survival skills, team work, technical communications, design approach, and ethical practices. The course is also used to reinforce concepts
