student graduating from engineering in six (or fewer) years. For thedata analysis to create such a predictive model, an initial category of “underrepresentedminority” (URM) was created using a societal definition of underrepresentation in engineeringbased on race/ethnicity that included Black/African American (B), Hispanic (H) and NativeAmerican (I). During the initial iteration of trees (method explained below), it appeared that thepredictive ability of the variables to detect differences in engineering graduation rates amongstudents from various racial/cultural backgrounds was masked by the created URM category. Inparticular, analysis found that the two Historically Black College/Universities (HBCUs) keptboth appearing and being grouped

summerengineering camp participants to the host institution.METHOD To explore the efficacy of the three summer camps as a UD recruitment tool, a surveywas developed. The surveys were disseminated at three engineering camps: a camp for URMmales interested in engineering, a single-sex female camp, and a co-ed camp. In this survey,participants were asked to report their prior exposure to engineering through other campexperiences, classes, and extracurricular activities; their interest in engineering; any official visitsto the university, and interest in visiting the university; their interest in applying to and attendingthe university; and demographics including gender, ethnicity, and year in school. Appendices Aand B contain the full pre-camp and post
