This project increases the number of STEM graduates by utilizing and expanding the institution's proven recruiting and retention strategies. Over the course of the project 4000+ high school students will be exposed to STEM careers through high school design competitions, on and off-site visits, faculty mentoring, Technology Days, Engineering Days, summer engineering camps, and through one-on-one follow-up. Once recruited, engineering students enter a program that provides them with an environment conducive to success. Each student has a personal "academic coach" who meets with him or her weekly, maintains a weekly dialogue, and actively tracks progress. Students are exposed to design early and often. Student activities include weekly social events with their cohort and visits at up to 7 regional universities per year. The project will produce approximately 500 new baccalaureate STEM graduates over the course of the grant period.

该项目通过利用和扩大该机构经过验证的招聘和保留战略来增加STEM毕业生的数量。在该项目的过程中，4000多名高中生将通过高中设计比赛，现场和场外参观，教师指导，技术日，工程日，工程夏令营以及一对一的后续活动接触STEM职业。一旦被招募，工程专业的学生进入一个程序，为他们提供一个有利于成功的环境。每个学生都有一个私人的“学术教练”，每周与他或她见面，保持每周对话，并积极跟踪进展。学生接触到设计早期和经常。学生活动包括每周与他们的同龄人的社交活动，并在每年多达7所地区大学的访问。该项目将产生约500个新的学士学位STEM毕业生在赠款期间的过程中。
