This paper describes a newprogram, STEM Recruitment, Retention, and Graduation (STEM-RRG), designed toincrease the number of minority students who graduate with a degree in science,engineering, or mathematics. Specifically, the goals and objectives to be accomplishedunder STEM-RRG are: a. Recruit minority students into STEM majors at TAMIU; b. Provide summer enrichment workshops to minority students; c. Provide internships and research assistantships to minority students; d. Provide professional development activities to STEM faculty who teach introductory science courses, including mathematics, engineering, physics, and
programs have freshman-level courses that are designed to introduce studentsto the engineering profession, teach problem-solving and design skills, and motivate the students.Engineering graphics is a subject that is also usually taught at the freshman level, sometimesintegrated with the introduction to engineering course, other times as a stand-alone course. Solidmodeling software has become widely used in education over the past decade, primarily inexisting engineering graphics courses. Because solid modeling is an integral part of the productdesign cycle, it can be used as a gateway to explore engineering design and to relate courseworkto real world applications. The use of solid modeling software at the freshman level also has thepotential for
