This book aims to isolate specific success factors for
underrepresented minorities in undergraduate engineering programs.
Based on a three-phase study spearheaded by the National Action
Council for Minorities in Engineering, the findings include
evidence that hands-on exposure to problem-based courses, research,
and especially internships are powerful catalysts for engineering
success, and that both college adjustment and academic skills
matter, in varying degrees, to minority success. By encompassing an
unusually large number and range of programs, this research adds to
the evidence base for the importance of hands-on exposure to the
work of engineering.
