On par with the aging baby boomers is the growing population ofminorities. Today in many places including the densely populated states of California and Texas,non-Hispanic whites have become the minority, and the bulk of minority students includingHispanics are further concentrated in the younger grades.

to allow “moreopportunity for a broader liberal education on the part of undergraduates” in order to developcreative, competitive, informed, and innovative engineers [1]. One way to accomplish this is toincorporate courses from the liberal arts into the undergraduate engineering education. Anotherway is by complementing classroom instruction with the resources available in informal learningsettings, like museums. The National Research Council’s Committee on Learning Science inInformal Environments [2] concluded that museums can support reliable learning throughinquiry, sense-making, and reflection on one’s experiences. The present study examined thatpossibility by exposing undergraduates to a Green Revolution exhibit which was available at

undergraduate students were recruited to document their activities and serveas the coordinators. The scholars complete two surveys each semester, one at the beginning andone near the end of semester. Some scholars are randomly selected for one-on-one interviewswith the assessment specialist. After one year, all the scholars were able to maintain 3.0+ GPAand meet the requirement for extracurricular and mentoring activities. One scholar graduated insummer 2016 and one scholar received a Co-op position. The second cohort of 9 SCOPEScholars have been recruited in fall 2016 and they joined the current scholars. 1.

. The 2016 NCES report [1]reveals that nearly 30% of all students enrolled in undergraduate programs (public, private, 2-year, 4-year) in 2015 were 25 years of age or older. This demographic is now receiving increasedattention for recruiting efforts. For instance, BestColleges.com [2] reports an increase in “degreeprograms, student associations or academic advisors specifically geared towards nontraditionalstudents”. It is important to mention that the terms nontraditional student [3] and adult learnerare often used interchangeably, but the difference lies in defining characteristics versus age [4]. A desire to meet the needs for qualified engineering professionals has resulted in effortsto increase recruitment and retention. Research

One goal of the shadowing experience is for student participants tohave a better understanding of what engineers do and what skills are needed in order to besuccessful. We included the shadowing activity in our S-STEM program in an effort to improveparticipants’ confidence and self-efficacy. As noted by Ponton et al [2], “vicarious experiences”,such as shadowing and observing, can serve as significant contributors in the enhancement ofself-efficacy.Perhaps one of the best features of the shadowing experience is that it

conservative estimate that growthin the $15T US GDP is about 2% annual which means that the US economy is growing by about$300B per year. Using Dr. Augustine’s estimate that 50% of growth comes from scientists andengineers and further assuming engineers contribute half of this amount, engineers are thenresponsible for $75B per year of economic growth. Given that there are approximately 1 millionengineers in the workforce (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010), each engineer contributes $75,000annually to economic growth over and above the amount they contribute to the economy. Lookingat this a different way, each engineer that graduates contributes to creating approximately one newjob every year over the span of that engineer’s career. While this

A courseusually focuses on one layer and provides detailed coverage. These courses are taught asindependent topics and become isolated and disconnected pieces. While students learn thespecific details of each layer, they do not have a comprehension of the relationships among thelayers. This leads to the lack of integration skill.
