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

Following an activity that required students to takeapart a one-time use camera and analyze its components to discover how it works, 43% of thestudents were able to describe an approach for modifying the camera that involved the adaptationof a current mechanism. In addition, the results of the post-laboratory survey indicate that theDAA activity elicited high levels of motivation.IntroductionThe insightful findings from Seymour and Hewitt1 about the causes for discontentment amongpersisters and switchers in science, engineering and math

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.
