for participants.This paper focuses on Black engineering students at a Historically Black College and University(HBCU) that participate in a 5-day summer bridge program that creates a safe space for studentsto close the mathematics knowledge gap. The study will focus on students’ math knowledge andperformance in their first entry math course as a measure of the impact of the program. Thispaper provides best practices of a non-credit short engineering summer bridge model.B. Engineering Concepts Institute HistoryThe Engineering Concepts Institute (ECI) Summer Bridge program has been around off and onat Florida A&M University (FAMU) for students matriculating through the FAMU-FSU Collegeof Engineering since 1987 [2].
