These tools have been successfullyimplemented in different programs in the same minority serving institution. The use of thesetools has allowed the faculty to concentrate on other important aspects of the student academicadvisement. This paper will also describe in detail the use of these tools in a comprehensiveacademic advisement process and its impact at an engineering program serving mainly minoritystudents. The mandatory academic advisement has positively impacted student access, retention,and graduation. Students meet at least once a semester with an assigned engineering facultymember. Faculty monitor and advise students in areas such as

, there is an imperative need for engineering faculty to adapt newinstructional strategies that can help students to effectively regulate their learning motivation,strategies, and efforts, particularly at their early learning stages.Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) has been research subject and educational practice in the contextof Educational Psychology. SRL involves self-monitoring and self-correction of threecomponents of learning: motivation, behavior, and cognition. It refers to active learning guidedby three important aspects of learning: (1) motivation to learn; (2) metacognition (awareness ofone’s knowledge and beliefs); and (3) strategic action (planning, evaluating, and acting). Oneimportant aspect in SRL is to regulate the learners

Among 1998 college freshmen,students with disabilities were more likely than those without to have earned Cs and Dsin high school. They were less likely to have met the recommended years of high schoolstudy in mathematics, biological sciences, and physical sciences; and to have spent moretime between high school graduation and entry into college (Henderson 1999). Theopportunity to study, conduct research, and establish a career in these fields is a reachablegoal for students regardless of physical ability.It is the goal of this paper to present some discussions and plans of action for providinglong-term opportunities for

Underrepresentedminority students are also less likely than other ethnic groups to be enrolled in researchinstitutions and instead, a high percentage of them (47%) enroll in two-year institutions. Theintentions of first-year undergraduate students to major in S&E3 are equally alarming. Although9% of these students planned to major in engineering in 2004, only 2%-5% had plans to major inComputer Science. At the graduate level, enrollment in S&E has declined since 2003 mainly as aconsequence of the decline observed in foreign students

The critical need for a STEM Orientation and Mentoring Programand a STEM Calculus I Student Assistant Support Program falls under the ComprehensiveDevelopment Plan (CDP) of UTPA. The CDP describes two major academic weaknesses:academic advisement inconsistent in delivery and access and under prepared incoming students,both first-time and transfer.

If a plan is formulated to address these challenges at the correct time frame, then not onlywill we be able to attract a greater pool of quality minority students to engineering but we will beproducing better students overall.IntroductionThere are specifically three challenges that need be addressed if we are to seriously make animpact on attracting minorities to engineering careers. The solutions of which must come from ateam of agents and processes, acting upon the students’ life at decidedly different time intervalsand all with a different focus. The first challenge is that of foundational mathematics and scienceand the critical time frame for the first challenge is that of between 4th and 6th grades. Thesecond challenge

The most salient feature of the chart is the decrease in the number ofoccurrences of the probation designation from 2004 through 2007. This indicates that thepractices and policies we have implemented may be having a positive impact onretention. This is a preliminary study and we are planning on looking more closely atother indicators that with help us to both understand some of the less obvious hurdles instudent retention and to develop better ways of addressing

sense that carrying out the stepsof a research project (e.g., administering a survey, conducting interviews) and analyzing data(e.g., calculating statistics, searching texts for themes) is much more likely to affect students’confidence in their research abilities than talking about the intended purpose of a study, readingliterature about a particular topic, and writing literature summaries for one’s mentor (see Hu,Kuh, & Gayles). Thus, program administrators would do well to consult this information whenworking with faculty mentors; program staff might encourage faculty to plan a summerexperience that actually engages students in collecting or analyzing data if the goal of theprogram is to enhance students’ research self-efficacy
