A particular mention should be made about the success of the robotics project based onthe LEGO Mindstorm kits. All 24 students gave high scores to the robotics project.Outcome 3) Students will experience academic success and student life in a college environmentand begin to accumulate college course credits towards an Associate’s degree at San AntonioCollege.Results: Of the 24 students enrolled in the EDGE 2008 Program, all received

Westrive to address the urgent need to expand and diversify the pool of undergraduates who earn aScience, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) degree. To achieve this goal, theSustainable Bridges project consists of a
of vital learning outcomes and argue that these must be woven throughout everycurriculum rather than regarded as a separate, or less important, educational component.Domenico Grasso4 aptly describes the troubling bifurcation of liberal and technical education Page 13.1218.2and calls for a new definition of the well-educated engineer: With the ever receding horizons of technological limits, it is easy to see how engineering curricula can become increasingly dominated by technical courses. It is time to dismiss the hegemonic notion that the best engineering education is one that exposes students to the most technical

The impact of the interaction described was essentially on thecurriculum, but it suggests benefits to the industrial partners beyond the involvement ofundergraduate students.The Graduate Internship Program (GIP) discussed in the paper is different from the partnershipsdiscussed above in the sense that we do not transfer research results from academia to theindustry.

Inthe future, our intent is to propose the VLES concepts as a new addition to current secondaryeducation in the central valley to promote engineering and technology.

Although lower Hispanic enrollments in higher education have been cited as a primarybarrier to STEM careers, more Hispanic high school students are enrolling in higher education. They represent thesecond largest ethno-racial group among undergraduates (25%). Despite the relatively high representation inundergraduate education, they represent only 8% of the total STEM workforce. Women and Hispanic women remainseverely underrepresented in STEM fields. Currently, women comprise 25% of the STEM workforce, and Hispanicwomen comprise less than 2% of the STEM workforce [1]. Addressing the equity gaps in male-dominated fields
