For example, the Civil Engineering department hosts a two-weeksummer program for approximately 60 minority high school students (only) where students getthe opportunity to visit all of the engineering labs, perform various experiments, complete adesign project (such as a bridge), and spend time with the engineering faculty (other than thedepartment of Civil Engineering). This two-week program culminates with an award ceremonyattended by both parents and faculty. Data collected from this event shows that between 30-40%of those students end up matriculating at Manhattan College and entering the SOE. Because Manhattan College is located in the Bronx, most of its minority

Anchored seating could be workable as long as adequate table space is availableand students can cluster quickly into teams. However, in large lecture halls with theater seatingand very small pull-up desks, students will have difficulty just physically gathering into teams,and that translates to wasted class time. Team assignments for these in-class activities can be accomplished in various ways. Thecritical issue here is to guard vigilantly against lost class time.
