projects, such as a portable stage for fosterchildren to perform rock concerts at their residential campus, and computer games to teachfractions to 5th graders at a neighboring elementary school. BOOST was designed to helpstudents identify more with engineers who care about their community, think critically andpersevere to deliver engineering projects which serve their community. We present results herethat indicate that we are beginning to meet those goals.Service Learning in Engineering Design and During Freshmen-sophomore TransitionMost universities recognize that the transition from high school to college requires extra supportand therefore offer college summer bridge programs. However, the transition from the freshmanto sophomore year is a
1990further prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities [6]. These two Acts require post-secondary institutions to provide services (such as brailled text or adapted computer terminals forthe blind) unless these services would fundamentally alter the program or generate unduefinancial burdens [7].The student in this case was enrolled in an ABET accredited engineering program. To completethe program the student needed to complete all required courses or reasonable substitutes.Learning to use a 3D modeler was a required course, and learning engineering graphics usingassistive technologies was deemed to be a reasonable substitute.Visualization and mental imageryEngineering graphics courses commonly use the term visualization to describe
to a theory of instruction. In order to achieve concept attainment, Brunerbelieves three simultaneous processes need to occur: (1) the acquisition of new information aboutthe technical system and the diagnostic practice, (2) the application of the new knowledge to thecase, and (3) verification of results (learner created diagnostic visual map) with an expert or otherfeedback cues.Another cognitive and instructional theory employed is Butcher and Sumner’s work onself-directed learning and sensemaking. In this case, learners use a self-paced computer-basedtraining program to acquire a content overview of technical systems and diagnostic strategies.These learners then engage in deep-thinking to process and apply this new knowledge to create

These open-ended designprojects range from highly structured [3] to theme-based [1, 2] to free choice [4, 5]. Combiningentrepreneurial thinking and maker technology, student-driven free

expectations in comparison to theirCGCS peers.” xNATIVE AMERICANS AND STEM:In 2011 and 2012, there were reportedly between 5.4 and 7.2 million STEM occupations andworkers between the ages of 25 to 64, accounting for 6% of the workforce. Half of STEMworkers were employed in computer occupations. Engineers and engineering technicians were32% of the STEM workforce. xi Native American Indians filled only 2% of the workforce.African American filled 4.6%, Hispanic 5.2%, Asian 18.5%, and whites approximately 70%. xiiIn the professional track of higher education here are similar findings. Although NativeAmericans and Native Alaskans make up between 1.5% and 2% percent of the U.S. population,they earned only 0.3 percent of all doctoral degrees in 2012. This is
