mixes technical skills, undergraduate research, professional development, personaldevelopment, team projects, and career advising. The stakes are low, the group is small (20STEM students), and almost all activities are performed within the scheduled class time. Theintent is to bring these students together to increase all aspects of engagement and make themmore successful in school and eventually in a STEM career. The engagement data collected canthen be analyzed to determine which, if any, aspects of engagement are good predictors ofretention and graduation. Once we develop a reliable way to track changes in studentengagement levels and understand how those levels relate to success, we can use thatinformation to design more impactful early

Ultimately, many ofthem might not even be aware of what a career in engineering entails. A study at Colorado StateUniversity shows

In addition, students who receive and are successfulin these experiences are better able to overcome the marginalization and isolation that is inherentin current STEM programs, and are better positioned to mentor and support other URMs tosuccessfully complete their course of study. Roper [3] states that students that attend a HistoricallyBlack College (HBCU) are more likely to earn a STEM degree because of these pre-existingstructures of community and support. Gandara, et al.

This distinction is significant because a) there is a perceiveddisassociation between STEM fields and communal goals, and b) women are more likely thanmen to endorse communal goals3,4.
