Recruiting underrepresented minorities through an engineering summer institute

The recruitment of underrepresented minorities through an engineering summer institute is discussed. A collaborative effort was developed by the office of minority engineering programs (OMEP) to expose the minority students interested in mathematics and science to the exciting and diverse disciplines of engineering. Arizona state university (ASU) is providing quality education for all students and openly seeks every opportunity to expand efforts to assist them. The continuous exposure of engineering to secondary students is a major step in meeting the demand and moving into twenty-first century.
