. There is a definite challenge in the recruitment and retention of qualityminority students in the engineering disciplines. It is time to address these challenges in truth andoffer solutions that help to address the root causes of current problems. This paper looks at thetwo divisions of a students’ academic career that have the most impact upon their undergraduatesuccess; that is their k-12 foundational education and their first two years in college as anundergraduate. These two divisions are not mutually exclusive nor are they unaffected by outsideinfluences.There are specifically three challenges that need be addressed if we are to seriously make animpact on attracting minorities to engineering careers.

Nanoscalephenomena have been investigated across multiple disciplines, and have applications innumerous fields, including medicine, environmental science, defense, and electronicsdevelopment. Additionally, nanoscale phenomena provide a way to integrate engineering anddesign tasks into the secondary classroom (for example, through a lesson on self assembly thatasks students to evaluate multiple factors in designing a model of a self-assembling system).Integration of engineering into the secondary curriculum can be a challenge, particularly withinthe context of rigid traditional curricula.Any major development in secondary education

experiment is obviously beyond the scope of a middle school or high school.However, the underlying concept, that light of different wave lengths interacts differentlydepending upon the properties of the target, translates easily. The experiment that was developedconsists of focusing a high powered halogen light through a colored filter onto a colored candle.For example, the light passing through a blue filter is mainly in the blue wave lengths. However,a candle that appears blue does so because it absorbs all other wave lengths except blue. Thus ablue candle exposed to blue light absorbs little energy. However a blue candle exposed to redlight will absorb a great deal of energy and melt quickly. The equipment needed to conduct thistype of experiment

At the middleand high school level, US students perform poorly on standardized tests in comparison to otherdeveloped countries. Middle school may be the key to capturing students’ interest in math andscience; this is the time when many children decide they are not interested in science, or notgood at math.

benefits of industry integration in capstone projects are documented in prior literature.However, student led teaming with industry partners further enhances student learning in thefollowing program outcomes identified in the ‘a’ through ‘k’ ABET criteria as follows: (c) an ability to design a system ….within realistic constraints. As students explore and define the capstone project, they gain an understanding for the real life constraints such as budget, schedule, etc. (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. Most engineering courses focus on solving the problem. The capstone experience is an ideal opportunity to allow students the experience of identifying and formulating the
