DREAM was recently selected as the 2011 Best Practice in a K-12/university partnership by the American Society for Engineering Education.

Director Houchens has been invited to the 2011 National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering Education workshop for DREAM.

DREAM seeks to increase the number of underrepresented minority students in STEM degree programs, particularly engineering. DREAM is structured on a foundation of long-term mentoring. Volunteer mentors (engineering students) and mentees (underrepresented, underserved K-12 students) carry out group design projects using commonly available materials to solve a series of tasks. High contact hours in small group settings are critical to the success of DREAM.
