With MDC being the largest and most diverse publiccollege in the nation, underrepresented students are the targeted population for this initiative. Inresponse to cloud talent shortage, MDC launched a cloud literacy initiative to invest in cloudprofessional training with the industry leader in cloud computing solutions, Amazon WebServices (AWS). The cloud initiative included three components described in Figure 1 as follows: • Provide faculty professional development in cloud computing to teach cloud-related

This paper summarizes the major efforts that led to Associate’s degreeprograms in cybersecurity, along with the motivation to create the first ABET Associate’s Cyberse-curity Program Criteria. It discusses the process to develop these cybersecurity criteria, describesthe current criteria, and presents the current status of the effort. In essence, this process reflects thematuration of the cybersecurity discipline.1 IntroductionCybersecurity professionals at all levels of preparation are in high demand, with predictions thatthere will continue to be a global shortage in

fromtalent identification up to bachelor’s or master’s degree completion. This paper outlines thedevelopment, implementation, and evaluation of the Holistic Programmatic Approach for Transfer(HPAT) model. The model is built on a well-thought-out program design reflected in a transferarticulation agreement and a joint commitment to quality and student success. Integral to theapproach is the requirement that the rigor of the curriculum at the community college matches thatof the 4-year partner. In addition, faculty, administration, and staff work synchronously andcollaboratively to provide intentional student support at each institution, with financial assistanceup to the master's degree completion. Holistic student support implements the

Given the need forcommunity colleges to hire faculty in STEM fields that are reflective of their racially and ethnicallydiverse student population, the research findings will serve to offer recommendations for futurework that is geared towards effectively preparing Hispanic STEM doctoral students to consideracademic careers at teaching-intensive institutions such as community colleges.To achieve the above-referenced goals in this grant, three research tasks are being pursued.

The program’s emphasis on an uncommon pathway toengineering reflected both the anticipated attraction of new students plus the shift of students totwo-year pre-engineering programs in response to the Tennessee Promise initiative, whichprovides free tuition at all state community colleges beginning in the fall of 2015. The proposedpathway to a senior engineering school was designed to pre-empt the unintended but wellrecognized consequences of students starting their engineering training at two-year schools byimproving student preparedness for transfer, providing structured support for students preparingto transfer, and rapidly establishing connection

The goal is to provide participants with opportunities to critically examine theintersections of their strengths with their social/cultural identities to support students as theytransfer from community college to a highly selective predominantly white institution. Ultimately, though the data currently reflects a small number of transfer studentparticipants, our plan is to gather more information over the course of the next academic year toquantify how and how many transfer students participate in extra- and co-curricular activities.Ultimately, we intend to describe the impact participation has on their sense of belonging and thedevelopment of their engineering and computer science identity, and
