This is followed by a 2-year specialization curriculum, during whichstudents take one of 8 (at publication time) Majors. Curriculum integration and multidisciplinarythinking are emphasized as program goals.The Majors have a focus, although not exclusively, on emerging and rapidly developing areas ofspecialization within engineering.

Most undergraduate engineering programs in the UnitedStates are dominated by white, middle class, straight male students (and faculty) so they arethe main contributors to the social dynamic of the school’s climate. Those that are part of thedominant culture are better prepared to navigate through the social spaces and sometimes donot see the inequalities present [24].

A report from theNational Research Council [32] cites a disconnect between colleges’ response to the industry-demands for STEM qualified workers and prescribes recommendations. While the report focuseson the business-university disconnect, we can use the information to ask what universities seekin incoming students. Meanwhile, Johnson & Johnson partake in a world-wide outreach programto analyze how well minority/disadvantaged students are prepared for STEM jobs in theirBridge-to-Employment (BTE) program [33].
