overall and forunder-represented groups). STEER members facilitate STEM Teaching Workshops sponsoredby the university provost. Each year, STEM Scholar Awards are made to several faculty whohave successfully applied EBT to their courses.We described many of these thrusts at the 2019 ASEE conference. In this paper, we will focusmore on describing the thrusts that have been implemented, or have evolved, since then. Also, asthis grant is in its no-cost extension year, we will present results and lessons learned.Specifically, we will address the number of faculty, graduate assistants and undergraduatestudents directly impacted by each thrust and will quantify, to the extent possible, the effect ofthat impact.

Previous sites, while noting high levels ofsatisfaction with the research elements, had very different reports of social experiences betweenyearly cohorts. For example, the 2018 assessment of the Innovative Engineering UsingRenewable Resources REU by the external evaluators reported: "Unlike previous years, several students were disappointed by the social aspect of the REU this

The project capitalizes on theDepartment’s strong connections with industry to cultivate a culture of “Engineering withEngineers” through changes in four essential areas: a shared department vision, faculty,curriculum, and supportive policies.This paper reports the status of the five-year project and is an updated version from our previousNSF Grantees Poster papers presented at the 2018, 2019, and 2020 ASEE Annual Conferences.The project background and objective are unchanged
knowledge of the community.The prime S-STEM BEATS project goals are:1) To recruit, retain, develop, mentor and graduate low-income, first-generation engineering andcomputer science students considered underrepresented by NSF. The overriding expectedoutcome for BEATS Scholars is their persistent mindset to degree completion at rates equal to orhigher than the average national percentage achieved by all engineering freshmen and transfercohorts as reported by ASEE.2) The current S-STEM BEATS project builds upon prior NSF S-STEM and STEP projects lessonsand practices that strongly indicate S-STEM scholars will thrive best when situated and engagedin a broader underrepresented engineering student (URES) peer-supportive multicultural academiccommunity
and introducing theseresearchers to potential mentors is an area of need for the field, particularly for aspiring RIEFgrantees. The project’s first networking event was a social event intended to connect RIEFgrantees at the 2019 NSF Grantee’s October meeting [4]. RIEF awardees attending that eventwere surveyed about their experience with the event and the EER community. In open responsesrelated to experience in that event, attendees consistently expressed that more networkingopportunities within the EER community would benefit them. Additionally, our team presentedworkshops to the community twice in 2020, first at the ASEE virtual annual conference, and thenat the FIE international conference [5].
