thatwe hope to offer in late 2024. During the virtual workshop, we believe we could share thelessons learned and best practices for two-year college administrators, faculty, and staff who arecontemplating a RED proposal. We would also like to connect interested proposal writers withexperts in engineering education research and organizational change, two fields that are notcustomarily represented on two-year college campuses. Based on the RED Webinar series thatwas delivered in 2017 [27] and adapted specifically for the two-year college context, we plan toexpand access to the RED funding mechanism through online resources. Because two-yearcolleges represent a key component in the engineering education ecosystem, we hope to supportand encourage

as an added support and proactive practice.Employer Relations ● Providing local University research experiences as a tool to not only provide students with a structured technical/research experience but also explore transfer pathways. ● Exploring research placement at national labs. Exploring an informal apprenticeship in which students return for multiple paid internships (even sometimes PT work during academic year) while they complete their degree.Through this paper, best practices from the STEM Core Expansion Alliance can be shared toenhance opportunities to engage and prepare students for competitive STEM pathways via paidsummer internships.

andpromising trends in education is the “edutainment” concept, which combineseducational content with entertaining activities so, the participants learn while havingfun.The program proved its flexibility as it was adapted to various locations, number ofparticipants, and time intervals. The paper will present the continuation of the program,the new results, and the plans for future expansion of the program to reach a broaderrange of participants.IntroductionExtensive evidence supports the effectiveness of instructing engineering students inspatial visualization skills, leading to improved outcomes. Research, spanning from theearly 1990s onwards, has consistently shown that practicing and training in spatialvisualization enhances performance in

AbstractThe National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program isspecifically designed to support workforce development that primarily takes place in technicianeducation programs offered at two-year colleges across the nation. Even so, NSF grant funding isinfrequently or never pursued by most two-year colleges even though there is a need for fundingto support high-cost, high-impact STEM programs. Since two-year colleges are focused onteaching vs. research, securing grants is seldom, if ever, required or recognized as important aspart of employee performance review, tenure, and promotion processes at these institutions. As aresult, technical/STEM faculty members typically do not have prior grant experience, nor dothey

financial needs at community colleges,the University of South Florida, and other institutions, contributing to the development of aproficient workforce in the STEM disciplines. In accordance with this overarching goal, thispaper examines the practical application of the project. It explores how community collegetransfers utilize the up to $10,000 S-STEM scholarship toward overcoming financial challengesthey believe would otherwise stunt their progress toward an engineering bachelor’s degree.2. Research QuestionsThe research aims to address the following two questions:a. How do S-STEM scholarships allow low-income community college transfer engineering students to prepare for success at a four-year university?b. How do S-STEM scholarships
