A decline in STEMproficiency has been reported in America, leading to significant regression from its position asa global leader in math and science. Debbie Myers, general manager of DiscoveryCommunications in STEM Diversity Symposium concluded: "International comparisons placethe U.S. in the middle of the pack globally." For the United States to achieve a competitiveadvantage, there is a need to encourage young people to develop a passion for learning andspecifically encourage minorities and females to pursue STEM careers [1].

Internships provide opportunities for professional development (such as the improvement oftechnical and communication skills) as well as a look into what a career in engineering entails[8], [9], [10]. Literature has also established the positive influence of quality mentorship onstudents and how these relationships can help retain students in their respective fields [11], [12].It has also been found that internships can impact the persistence of underrepresented groups inengineering [13], [14].

Social ConsciousnessThe social consciousness component involves scholars with service-learning and K-12 outreachprograms to better prepare our students to be contributing citizens locally, nationally, and/orglobally. Many students enter college wanting to pursue a career to serve others and seeengineering careers as altruistic in nature [6]. To develop and deepen scholars’ social awarenessand demonstrate motivation to bring technical engineering experiences to bear on societalproblems, each scholar takes advantage of opportunities provided by service learningorganizations.
