Historically,undergraduate research has not always been considered to be important or even practical, but inthe wake of educational research showing that authentic, inquiry-based projects help studentsimprove in math /science skills and also help students to maintain interest in science fields2,3,4.Many broad-based funding agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) andNational Atmospheric and Space Agency (NASA) have found it germane to fund programsaimed at providing STEM-based research at earlier stages in students’ education. Indeed, overthe past 15 years, many graduate programs have come to expect undergraduate applicants tohave some experience in undergraduate research

Survey data from a 2007 administration of the National Survey of Student Engagement(NSSE) were analyzed to measure African American and Hispanic students’ engagement ineducationally purposeful activities. Results from the present study found that student satisfactionin college is positively related to time spent preparing for class and frequency of interactionswith faculty members about careers.

Further, they have decidedto assess conceptual understanding via a materials science concept inventory10.

Through informal conversations, the authors learned thatsome Black students felt they had not had the formal pre-college engineering training andextracurricular experiences that they perceived their peers had and therefore they did not feelthey possessed engineering knowledge. There is little research that identifies the diverseengineering family practices of Black families and further finds ways to connect these practicesto formal higher education learning environments.

In recognition of this, the National ScienceFoundation has instituted programs meant to make the choice of engineering and science as acollege major more attractive and financially affordable; e.g. the CSEMS Scholarship Program,available at many colleges and universities.2In our opinion, waiting until a student is enrolled in college to entice him or her into engineeringor science is too late.
