AB  -   Enhancing the Interest, Participation, and Retention of Underrepresented Students in                 Engineering through a Summer Engineering InstituteAbstract:The summer engineering institute (SEI) in San Francisco State University is a two-weekresidential engineering program designed to attract, recruit and retain high school seniorsand community college students to enter engineering programs. In 2008 Cañada College,a Hispanic-Serving community college in Redwood City, collaborated with SanFrancisco State University, a comprehensive urban university, to design and implementthe summer engineering institute which is funded by the US Department of Education’sMinority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) grant to increase thelikelihood of success among underrepresented and educationally disadvantaged studentsinterested in pursuing careers in STEM fields. Prior to its partnership with CañadaCollege, SFSU has many years of experience in offering an engineering residentialprogram funded by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). With thenewly funded grant from the DOE, the Summer Engineering Institute has been designedand taught by SFSU engineering faculty from Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Computerengineering programs. The redesigned summer program involves projects that werespecifically designed to motivate students’ interest in hands-on research. The programalso offers students the opportunity to gain insight into various engineering careeroptions, and academic programs through a combination of lectures, field trips, andworkshops. Preliminary results indicate SEI participants showed greater understandingof the engineering profession and increased interest in STEM fields. This paper aims toshow how a summer engineering program can be designed to enhance interest inengineering among minority students, and how faculty can be actively involved indesigning a program that that has the potential to strengthen the engineering educationpipeline
