In their report for the American Association forthe Advancement of Science, Malcom et al. found that, despite increases in the number ofbaccalaureate degrees in science and engineering for Blacks and Hispanics, there was an overalldecline in minority graduate enrollment in STEM fields, especially first-year graduate enrollmentin the natural sciences, computer sciences, mathematics, and engineering. Explanations for thisdecline include the attraction of lucrative careers in industry, increased debt burden fromundergraduate education, and a shift in enrollment from graduate to professional schools,especially medical school.8Given the questionable improvement in participation rates and continued underrepresentation ofAfrican

Over the years, recruitment of candidates for the programs expandedbeyond the initial local schools to include public and private universities across thecountry as well as the HBCUs and HSIs. Additionally, to help identify students early intheir undergraduate careers who might have the potential to seek graduate technicaldegrees, the Labs established undergraduate summer intern programs to give women andminorities the opportunity to work in an industrial research environment.

The faculty of this department in concert with constituencies have developed the following undergraduate educational objectives for the BS in BME degree. 1. To educate students for successful careers in Biomedical Engineering. Emphasis is placed upon mastering the fundamentals of engineering and biology, the ability to solve engineering problems, and understanding the creative process of engineering design. 2. To instill in the students a sense of confidence in their ability to grasp and
