specifically STEM, stands to benefit from boosting diversity, asthis provides new perspectives, leading to an increase in innovation and productivity [2][3]. The authorsbelieve that early exposure to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields spursnew interest in young students and is highly effective in the decisions they make regarding their careerslater in life [4]. It is also unfortunate that many students are not exposed to STEM at young ages. Thus,the facilitation of educational outreach programs give the opportunity for teachers to share more aboutSTEM-related fields to younger students, so that new interest and stronger diversity may be created.Research has shown the importance of motivating students earlier in middle

academic focus, students of EDG learned how to sketch, to make drawingswith manual instruments, and more recently to make drawings with Computer-Aided Design and Drafting(CADD) systems. If courses at both four-year universities and two-year community colleges are includedin the tally, it is estimated that over 100,000 students annually study within this EDG discipline.The field of Engineering Design Graphics has also experienced a long succession of dedicated facultymembers who have both fostered and promoted the graphics discipline in engineering education. Mostof these EDG faculty have worked cooperatively over the years through the Engineering Design GraphicsDivision of ASEE. One of the major examples of this cooperative effort was the long

professional. In many cases graduate students simplyfocus only on „their work‟ and are less concerned with the goings on of their institution.Focusing on work has great merit and will obviously lead to the completion of the desireddegree. However, ignoring the cohorts around you could lead to missed opportunities forcollaboration as well as a loss in making social connections with others in a similar life stage.Having a connection with fellow graduate students is important because a support system can bedeveloped. Graduate students can gain a network of peers that they can lean on when theresearch gets difficult or motivation gets low1. At Louisiana Tech University, the College of Engineering and Science Graduate StudentCouncil (GSC) noticed a
belief thatattitudes about exposure to issues like cultural diversity can be influenced positively by teachingit as an essential component of globalization. The survey conducted after the presentationactually supports this idea (Statement 1, table 2). All respondents agreed with the premise that“studying people and cultures are important to the innovation process in a global economy.”Further analysis of data reveals the encouraging result that students demonstrate anunderstanding that they will be working in a global economy (Fig. 1, GEE outcome h). “Proceedings of the 2006 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education
