Weestablished a relationship with 4-H youth development, specifically curriculum developers andSTEM specialists, to start sharing existing lesson plans and resources with their agents and clubs.For example, we became very involved with an energy-based summer program that had beenrunning for over twenty-five years, even to the point of traveling the state during 2021 to take thesummer program to different counties. We also started working with 4-H to write grants, andwere awarded a grant from the Office of Naval Research for workforce development thatexpands existing outreach programs to Western TN.This grant is one of several grants, both internal and external, that we received after we started towork synergistically

requirement of full-time status (12+ credits in fall/spring) became problematic for students whoneeded fewer than 12 credits in their last semester to graduate. Other students had scheduling challenges(e.g., 15 credits in one semester but 11 in the other), that threatened their eligibility. In Flit-GAP, after thefirst semester, the requirement for full-time status is interpreted to allow for these cases in which studentsare making progress toward graduation but cannot register for 12 credits in a particular semester .Common Program ActivitiesFlit-GAP provides positive, peer group cohorts for junior, senior, and eventually graduate-level students.Student development and support activities combine social and educational events to help these

Job shadowingprograms have been found to have impacts on student career trajectories. Engineering programsare expected to help students find internships and job shadowing opportunities in industry becauseit is considered a best practice for students to have this experience early in their careers [3]. Whenpaired with a near-peer mentor and participating in a job shadowing experience, research showsthat there is a positive impact on student retention in STEM programs [4].Many different aspects can influence a successful job shadowing program.

One student wrote: “After lab, I feel much for comfortable presenting on a technical topic. I previously had little comfort with this because I had trouble explaining things in a way that people with limited background knowledge might understand.”Even among students whose initial response didn’t center on written or oral communication,many students in the traditional course chose to write about it at the end of the course.

Intellectual virtue growth is most supported by open-endedproblems and projects and engaging lecturers/instructors. Both performance and intellectualvirtue growth were supported by mastery-based learning pedagogies and peer/instructorfeedback. Moral virtue growth was due to wide-ranging experiences including self-directedlearning opportunities, facing challenging communication scenarios, instructor role-modeling,and personal reflection.

The intervention has been found topresent difficulties for both learners and trainers. According to Werners et al.
