In response to thoseneeds, faculty at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SD Mines) established theCulture and Attitude (C&A) program in fall 2010 with the support of a National ScienceFoundation S-STEM award. The program provides scholarships for academically bright andfinancially needy women, and also recognizes the need to change the fundamental paradigm(culture) for recruiting, and retaining students, particularly women, in engineering. To that end

Responses to educational problems can take different forms, from thetheoretical (why is the problem occurring) to the practical (how can it be ameliorated). Forexample: educational problems of K-12 academic inequity and school failure motivate researchand policy such as No Child Left Behind. In higher education, identification and analysis ofproblems facing first-generation college students leads to developing “bridging programs.” In abroad sense, this strand of research and remediation tends to be born foremost out of a deepconcern of all of

The surveyaims to address the following questions:•   What are the factors that affect why women and minorities choose to pursue education in civil engineering?•   What aspects of the civil engineering curriculum and course work do students find particularly motivating and interesting? Do students feel that they have a mentor? What kind of work experience and internships have students had? Are they members of student/professional engineering organizations? Do the answers to this question depend on the gender or ethnic/racial

Students who are not able todevelop an alignment in a given discipline in higher education may change majors or drop out toseek a sense of belonging elsewhere.Diversity is one of the greatest challenges to the engineering profession today. Manyengineering schools struggle to attract and retain a student population that reflects the diversityof the general population. One of the key reasons cited for students leaving STEM is theperception of a chilly climate, especially by those who are members of underrepresented groups[3]. Furthermore, there is compelling evidence that diversity among students and faculty iscrucially important to the intellectual and social development of both
