AB  - In Engineering, the positive relationship of community engagement with college student persistence is known. In this case study, we reinforce this finding and present a strategy that utilizes a strong network of Professional Student Organizations (e.g., the American Society of Civil Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers, Society of Women Engineers, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, etc.) to facilitate enrichment activities with K-12 students. Not only did these activities promote student success, but there were also signs that this work could attempt to repair the leaky pipeline of diverse talent. An unexpected apprehension to outreach by students prompted the research team to acquire hands-on models the Professional Student Organizations could use as a tool to increase engagement. This factor was also studied to ascertain any insights into how the models enhanced the experiences of the event. College students wrote reflections after their interactions. This paper shares how community-engaged activities not only change attitudes and outreach self-efficacy in all students but also might be critical in self-efficacy and motivation for minority female engineering students.
