The Tricked-Out Virtual Body Shop : Recruiting African-American High-School Students to STEM through Automotive Design

The Tricked-Out Virtual Body Shop is an extrapolation of engineering curriculum design activities that have successfully engaged African-American students. Declining enrollment among underrepresented African-American students in STEM may be related to negative perceptions of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This concept is designed to directly engage students in constructing a customized virtual automobile, while simultaneously educating them to the science and engineering behind the design and development process.
