%, the four-year graduation rate was 46%, and the six-year graduation rate was 59%. These quantitative data indicatethat both FTIC and transfer students at CEC share similar attributes; they are part-time students, need morefinancial support, are older than traditional students, and many do not earn their degrees within four or evensix years.All of the CEC graduation rates are considerably lower than reflected in some national data sets (see Table1). For instance, the national four-year graduation rate for engineering undergraduates is 32% (AmericanSociety for Engineering Education or ASEE, 2019), compared to just 14% at Florida InternationalUniversity. The six-year graduation rate for CEC and all engineering undergraduates in the US is

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Creating a Diverse Next Generation of Technically- and Community-Minded STEM Professionals Purdue UniversityAbstractIn 2019, the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, CISTAR, partnered withthe National Society of Black Engineer’s Summer Engineering Experience for Kids, NSBESEEK, to develop a summer program like no other! Through an NSF Research Experience andMentoring (REM) summer program, CISTAR was able to give students and teachers anopportunity to do 6-weeks of cutting-edge research at CISTAR and then “give back” bymentoring kids for 4-weeks at NSBE SEEK—all in one summer. In this paper, we elaborate onthe rationale for the program, namely

)are more likely to depart from the doctorate in engineering than their majority counterparts(Council of Graduate Schools, 2007). More recent data has shown that for every seven White orAsian students that obtain a Ph.D., only one underrepresented minority student will obtain adoctorate in engineering (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018;Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering: 2019, 2019). Transitioning into the doctorate without having a proper understanding of what it entailscan make the journey unnecessarily difficult (Lovitts, 2001; Weidman, Twale, & Stein, 2001).Students often enter the doctorate, assuming that what made them successful as an undergraduatewill

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Evaluation of an EPIC Student Experience to Broaden Participation in Engineering Programs (Work in Progress)AbstractRecruiting and retaining a diverse talent pool has been long recognized as essential to keep ournation’s economic and intellectual preeminence but is an area in which we continue to fall short.Historical barriers could be lifted by providing institutional initiatives to supportunderrepresented students in higher education engineering programs. The Equal Partners inInclusive Community (EPIC) program was established in fall 2019 to address the needs of andprovide support mechanisms for underrepresented minority (URM) groups

: “The TNT board” has been accepted by the Multidisciplinary EngineeringDivision of the ASEE 2021 annual conference [14].Below is the summary of the student survey completed by the participants after the summerresearch program: (1) all students learned something new and useful; (2) all students believedthat the summer program will likely help them in their future study; (3) 10 out of 11 participantsthought that they were introduced to undergraduate research and creative work; (4) 9 out of 11students thought that the summer program increased their self-confidence; and (5) all peoplethought that the summer program was great and would recommend it to a friend. The studentsalso had the following comments about the summer program: • Collaboration

Engineering Education from Purdue University. Dr. Santiago has over 20 years of experience in academia and has been successful in obtaining funding and publishing for various research projects. She’s also the founder and advisor of the first ASEE student chapter in Puerto Rico. Her research interests include investigating students’ understanding of difficult concepts in engineering sciences, especially for underrepresented populations (Hispanic students). She has studied the effective- ness engineering concept inventories (Statics Concept Inventory - CATS and the Thermal and Transport Concept Inventory - TTCI) for diagnostic assessment and cultural differences among bilingual students. She has also contributed to the

question: How do the curricular, advising, and cohort-building elements of the RedShirt program impact the students’ experiences in the sophomore orjunior year at their university and in engineering? RedShirt students in the sophomore and junioryears responded to a semi-structured list of questions through focus group participation, withsome individual follow-up interviews.The thematic findings from sophomores and juniors include: academic strategies for respondingto more challenging classes; adjusting to new peer groups; developing identity as a minoritizedstudent; effects of advising interactions; and, dealing with living arrangements and other externalfactors. Additionally, themes from 2019-2020 include how students adapted to the

timeline. Proposals are then reviewed by Student Research staff. To serve the maximumnumber of students, students new to research receive preference during the selection process. Asnoted earlier, program staff are able to leverage their position in CEOI to recruit students fromtraditionally underserved populations to apply.Through the Fall 2019 semester, over 400 College of Engineering students have participated inthe undergraduate research program during its 12-semester tenure. Table 1 shows thedemographics for the program. It is common for underrepresented students to engage in researchat rates slightly lower than their proportion in the general population [15, 18, 19]. However, asshown in Figure 1, female participants in the undergraduate

individuals who identified multiple race/ethnicity categories [28].The demographics of engineering Bachelor’s graduates in the U.S. is not representative ofcollege graduates or high school graduates (Table 1) [32-35]. Under-representation inengineering is particularly notable for the intersectional groups of Black females, Hispanicfemales, and multiracial females. (Note: given the small percentages of underrepresentedrace/ethnicity groups, the unknown data from the American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE) may cause large differences). Also notable is that 2019 was the first year thatrace/ethnicity and gender combined data were reported by the ASEE. Among the U.S. population(based on 2013 census data), 3% of the population was multiracial
