The engineering faculty at McLennan Community Collegerecently procured a space on campus and modest financial support to establish an engineeringworkshop, complete with basic hand tools, work benches, 3D printers, safety equipment, and asmall study area. This study examines the impact of launching a new engineering-specificworkshop on community college engineering students' self-efficacy. The analysis will rely onsurvey responses from students enrolled in the Fall 2024 Introduction to Engineering cohort.First, students completed a survey assessing their prior experience with tools, workshops, andhands-on engineering projects, along with the 14-question

program the following year.Program evaluation results show that the programs were successful in reaching a diverse groupof community college students and that participation in the programs increased students’ beliefthat they could be successful in a STEM field, conduct research, and analyze scientific data. Bothstipends and research experiences were rated as important aspects of the program. The MNT-CURN to START model demonstrates how a longitudinal approach to undergraduate researchprepares students for research projects of increasing complexity and leads to more impactfuloutcomes for the students and success in retaining community college students in STEM. In thispaper, we report on practices employed in the MNT-CURN and START programs as well

According to Chen and colleagues [1] over 36million U.S. workers were employed in STEM-related occupations in 2019. Because STEM-related jobs often require specific expertise, STEM workers commonly receive specific forms ofeducation and training to equip them with the necessary skills, knowledge, and abilities toperform effectively within STEM industries [18]. It is projected that, from 2020 to 2033,employment in architecture and engineering occupations will grow faster than the average, withan average of 195,000 job openings each year due to the employment growth and the need

S-STEM proposals are expectedto be built on a foundation of deep needs analyses specific to the targeted population of studentsin STEM disciplines. Based on needs assessment, programs can then focus on implementingappropriate interventions and supports that will be most effective in improving the retention andcompletion of their students. Guidelines for streamlining the acquisition and organization ofcritical elements of student needs analyses can be useful for two-year college faculty andadministrators to develop NSF S-STEM proposals and

One of the primary components of theS-STEM program is bi-weekly meetings on Fridays that scholars are encouraged to attend.S-STEM program leadership encouraged the research to schedule interviews for an off-Friday inwhich scholars did not have a meeting because scholars are in the habit of coming to campus tomeet with advisors on Fridays. The focus groups were scheduled two weeks later on another off-Friday.

in the classroom. It is not uncommon for there to be only one or twowomen present in the sophomore level engineering courses such as Dynamics or Mechanics ofMaterials. The advice offered that seems most applicable is for faculty to ensure that theirclassroom culture fosters mutual respect and to encourage collaborative projects [9]. Thissupports not only students in the minority, but everyone in the classroom.Future Research and LimitationsThere is a bias present in any survey based on who chooses to respond. In this study 89% of therespondents reported that they were fairly or very confident that they would keep their currentchoice of major. This may skew the data on identity and sense of belonging to be overestimated.Future work could
