Developing methods to recruit students normally falls under the auspice ofthe admissions office on a college campus but the admission office goal is to recruitstudents to apply to the university, not within targeted majors. In order for engineeringdepartments to recruit the best and brightest students they must find innovative andefficient methods to reach out to the high school community. The Seaver College of Science and Engineering at LMU wanted to do more toimprove our chances of recruiting underrepresented students. To accomplish this goal westarted a high school community outreach program

-year colleges is at a level of 8.4%, an increase of 1.9% since1997 (tenured and non-tenured, tenure track). The number of doctoral engineers employed aspostsecondary faculty in two and four- year colleges is so small for Black, non-Hispanic,Hispanic and Native American women that there are blanks in the report indicating less than 500people. For women, the data at the doctoral level has been on a slow but upward trend since1998, from 810 degrees granted to 1,040 (17.3%) in 2003. African Americans and Hispanicsreceived 1.6% (97) and 1.8% (107) Ph.D. degrees in engineering in 2003, respectively. This poolrepresents the potential source of college faculty. The need for female faculty in computerscience is also compelling. In 2002, 97 women
