This project was aimed at developing a methodology for improving the enrollment statistics of underrepresented students in STEM degree programs. An assessment was administered drawing inference from the correlation between academic performance, perception of engineering and decision to pursue a STEM degree. Strong correlations were observed between academic performance, perception of engineering, importance of Mathematics and one's choice to pursue a STEM degree. A project-based curriculum addendum was proposed and a private sector engineering design program was developed and implemented. -
