Thesenuclei of modern culture are important seeds to bridge the knowledge divide, and, inparticular considering the schools of engineering, these nuclei may play an important andleading role in the process of fostering a high-tech industry led economic and socialdevelopment.The Hemisphere of the Americas is now being challenged by the need for a morehomogeneous economic

, and mathematics are critical skills for our modern world. Inorder to understand this world, it is vital to foster engineering and technological literacy amongall people, starting with young children. Technology and engineering are new fields at theelementary school level; however, this is where such education needs to start. Just as it isimportant to begin science instruction in the primary grades by building on children’s curiosityabout the natural world, it is crucial to begin technology and engineering instruction inelementary school by fostering children’s natural inclination to design and build things, and totake things apart to see how they work.1 It is during primary school that students establish firstimpressions of possible career

American students have not seen commensurate increases in engineering fields.Diversifying the undergraduate engineering population has important consequences for ournation’s ability to meet the increasing demands for a larger technological and scientific laborforce. While diversifying engineering in the aggregate is both timely and critical, it is equallyimportant to consider the level of diversity within each engineering discipline (e.g., Mechanical,Civil, Electrical, Chemical). When engineering disciplines are disaggregated, it is clear that somedisciplines are less diverse than others. Focusing on diversity at the discipline level has importantimplications for the design of effective department level programs and curricular interventions
