Most programs are partially funded bylocal foundations and federal grants; institutional support is also provided in the form of campusclassrooms, laboratories, and voluntary faculty efforts. The goals of the program, which includeincreasing the diversity of participating students, have not changed over the course ofimplementation. However, the recruitment strategies and program activities have evolved duringthe course of this project. Our best practices for inspiring minority students in STEM werebelieved to be:  Hands-on experiences completing real science and engineering projects;  Working in peer based teams for the solution of projects;  On-going support and encouragement from the instructor;  Real world examples

Courses which are being augmented already contained some of the material desired by our stakeholders. Those faculty teaching these courses are able to see a path to strengthening this material without sacrificing core elements in these courses. Particularly in the EE and CompE senior electives both of these courses already used software to explore in-depth topics. These courses will restructure the software portion in a way that emphasizes software engineering approaches and tools in the study of the topic at hand. In this way

Undergraduate Research Fellowships (original program, 2001)Up to fifteen fellowships are granted each year in both the USC College and in the USCViterbi School of Engineering to support summer and academic year research. The goal is tofamiliarize students with laboratory research and link them with a mentor early on. It ishoped that through the experience of first-hand research at the undergraduate level, thechances will increase that students will choose to pursue a graduate degree in science orengineering. Student recipients of the fellowship are expected to work on their researchproject at least 12 hours per week during the academic semester in which they receive theaward ($2,500).

, there are a number of studies that have adopted goal orientation as aframework to investigate engineering students’ motivation [21]. Most of these studies, however,targeted graduate, undergraduate, or high school students, and little research has focusedspecifically on younger children. Meanwhile, research on children’s engineering design anddesign thinking (e.g., [22]) and related motivation constructs, such as identity or attitude (e.g.,[23]), has increased in the past few years. Often featuring hands-on, project-based tasks andlearning experiences, engineering design activities provide opportunities for children to work onreal-world challenges using engineering tools and materials within contexts that focus onproblem-solving and systems

At first I was nervous because I onlythought I could help with structural engineering—but I ended up doing lots of process and mechanical engineering. I worked with pumps and piping and even some electrical work. I learned so many new things. I went in thinking that my math and science in college were the most important but I realized when I worked that the interaction with my coworkers was even more important. I learned what it meant to be a working person. Now I really like encouraging people towards doing a work experience—I even gave a talk one time at a co-op meeting and lots of the students asked me questions afterwards. I would

In a study performed bythe Board of Engineering Education under the National Research Council several key pointswere listed:7 a) Undergraduate education must include exposure to “real” engineering that is interdisciplinary, hands-on, and industrially relevant. b) A strong knowledge of how to learn must be instilled during the educational process. c) More of an emphasis on engineering design (creative synthesis) while maintaining the engineering science (analysis)Integrated labs have received much attention and research and integration is part of the newengineering education paradigm where subject matter, concepts
