In the course, we includedtransformational experiences and personal artifacts as a way to enhance research identity and buildcommunity. The personal artifacts were used as a tool to allow students to share an aspect of themselveswith the research class.Student worksheets and reflective essays were collected to assess identity related tasks and reflections inthe course. Students completed a survey about the class experience, with 100% of students reportingagreement that the class had a positive sense of community and collaboration.IntroductionThe transition from a two year institution to

Mostspecifically the underserved population has consistently been higher. This isdirectly related to the recruiting outreach targeting the non-traditionalstudents and bringing the “start local – save money – graduate an engineer”message to the students that didn’t previously believe they had the chance tobe engineers.The chart below reflects the total demographic from 2015-2023 as an averagethroughout the first 8 years of the academies. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2024

Other students who did not work reflected on how the stress of trying to find a job wouldnegatively impact their studies. In this respect, the S-STEM scholarship helps students maintaina healthier study-work-life balance.Students also described how the scholarship freed them up to pursue jobs and internships alignedwith their academic and career interests. For example, one student had worked at a public utilitycompany in a field outside of his interests. S-STEM allowed him to become an undergraduateresearcher in a field of interest while also allowing him more free time. Students explained thatworking fewer hours opens up more
