-Income BackgroundsIntroductionThis work-in-progress (WIP) paper will share preliminary insights on the implementation ofinterventions in STEM learning environments impacting undergraduate engineering degreecompletion at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). While HBCUs onlycomprise three percent of post-secondary institutions in the United States, they enroll a highpercentage of minority students [1, 2], and are often criticized for having low graduation rates,especially for low-income students [3]. To combat this concern, a public historically black land-grant university in the southeastern region of the United States was awarded the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
