needed to wait for students to log into the online class before starting the practice.Author 3 noted that being able to move the time of the mediation to better fit in the coursematerial for the day was advantageous. Additionally, Author 3 noticed that different classsections had different preferences. For example, Author 3’s morning class section liked havingthe practice early during class (e.g., at the beginning), while the afternoon class section liked thepractices later in the class session, especially on Friday (e.g., at the end of class). Lastly, it is ofnote that Author 2 thought a five-minute practice might be too long for an online course,especially when done daily, but the same duration worked well for the in-person course,according to

future recruitment efforts to attract engineering students with a diverse background,particularly the underrepresented populations. This paper reported progress of the first objective.Introduction/BackgroundThe importance of diversity in the U. S. engineering workforce has been recognized. Lack ofworkforce diversity in engineering fields has been related to the poor recruitment and retentionof educationally disadvantaged students or underrepresented groups in engineering [1]. Researchhas identified factors preventing those students from pursuing and completing a STEM degreeand strategies to increase diversity in STEM programs such as summer camps/bridge programs,pipeline programs, pre-college programs, targeted programs, and integrated approach

a growing number of STEM roles.Marginalized populations are disproportionately absent from these fields, which NationalScience Foundation (NSF) has sought to address through the funding of programs aimed atimproving STEM students’ success [1]-[2]. Thus, Baylor University created the Engineering andComputer Science (ECS) Scholars Program—a NSF-funded program to support the success ofhigh achieving, low income (HALI) STEM students. Because student success literatureoverwhelmingly evidences the positive relationship between involvement and success [3]-[4],this study explored how HALI STEM students in the ECS Scholars Program perceive andexperience involvement and success as related to their most salient identities.Guiding Research Question(s

The Women in Engineering and the MinorityEngineering Programs use it as part of their recruiting because of the success they have seenwithin the populations they serve. The LC has consistently drawn higher percentages of femalestudents [15] remaining at or above 40%’s female. Figure 2 shows the last two years comparedto the overall college demographics. The LC aligns with much of the research on diversity withits design in context of human, community and environment needs, strong mentoring, leadershipopportunities and authentic design.
