Although NSF provides examples of such activities, there is currentlyno method by which to gauge grantee attention to the Broader Impacts Criterion or the success ofsuch efforts when they are asserted. To provide suggestions of possible metrics, The Center forthe Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE) at the National Academyof Engineering (NAE), with NSF support, convened a workshop consisting of individualsbroadly representative of NSF’s grantee communities. The group suggested that, at a minimum,grantee institutions should provide both their existing affirmative action plans as well as specificinformation on collaborations with underrepresented institutions.

These communities not only acted asready populations to recruit from but were also asked to share the experience with their peers,further enlarging the recruitment efforts. Additionally, a review of all STEM and/or racial/ethnicminority-centered student organizations was conducted, and information was shared with thoseofficer groups to share with their respective students.

It was evident that the engineering students initially struggled to explain the complexconcepts related to the project to the novice audience, but dramatically improved over time.ChallengesA number of first-year engineering students had bewildered looks on their faces when theoutreach project based on Design Squad was introduced.

One way to foster students’ motivation in the programming classroom is todeliver tailored courses that engage students in activities relevant to their own disciplines andfavor authentic tasks [9]. Forte and Guzdial [10] reported that engineering students enrolled inan introductory programming course with programming language and skills tailored toengineering needs had lower D -grade, withdrawal and failure rates compared to those enrolledin a traditional course. The students who took the tailored course also commented that theylearned useful content.
