Grounded in Tinto’s conceptual model ofstudent motivation and persistence, the project emphasizes early interventions, which are criticalfor low-income students facing external challenges that may impact their decision to stay incollege or enter the workforce. We developed and integrated the SSTEM project aiming toincrease four key elements, which based on Tinto will also increase persistence. The SSTEM project includes scholarships, an Engineering Learning Community (ELC)that promotes cohort-based learning and living, mentorship, and participation in personal andprofessional development seminars.

The faculty also decided to count an extra Intro to Engineering coursecredit toward one credit of their Computer Aided Design (CAD) course. They did this because acommon complaint from transfer students was that this aspect of the course was redundant forthem. To solve this issue, the Intro to Mech and Aero courses were split from 3 credits to a 2-credit Intro to major course and a 1-credit CAD lab course. Therefore, CC transfer students whofulfilled the pre-engineering curriculum also satisfied the CAD class.Beyond curriculum – integrating transfer students into the MAE community To address the post

The proposed solution is to integrate data science directly into existing courseofferings through self-contained interactive modules. Rather than reorganize curriculum as wasdone for FEA, data science topics are taught alongside fundamental engineering topics in a waythat strengthens understanding of both.Presented here is one component of a larger initiative devoted to this effort, in the context of awidely offered undergraduate course, Mechanics of Materials

introduction of new programs. Yet, engineering technology programshave a lot to build upon the present achievements in curriculum adjustments. Forexample, the most recent National Academies report lists only one program each with thewords “control” and “robots” in the title (Pearson et al., 2017). The process of makingcontrol engineering an integral part of traditional STEM programs and introduction ofnew programs continues to this day. Moreover, the transformed nature of the newgeneration of potential students provides additional support for the need of curriculumadjustments (Rossiter et al., 2023).The knowledge of the basics of control engineering has a potential to shift STEAMstudents’ approaches in problem-solving towards more sustainable paths

As a field that traces its historical roots to roughly the mid-twentieth century, STSquite famously synthesizes, on the one hand, philosophical and theoretical approaches totechnoscience’s complex roles played in human cultures and societies with, on the other hand,rigorous hands-on applications of science and engineering methods and practices.

IdentitiesWPI is a STEM institution that has an integrative curriculum incorporating humanities and socialscience exploration. Undergraduate students who engage in research are at a critical stage ofprofessional identity formation, as they transition from being a consumer to a producer ofknowledge (Dutta, Pashak, McCullough, Weaver & Heron, 2019). Approximately 30% of ourstudents opt into a first-year, project-based experience that is interdisciplinary, often outside oftheir major, and wicked problem-focused seminar. Thus, the first experience students have withresearch is typically outside of their major area and is a human-subjects research project. Yet, in our collective experiences, students do not tend to understand these projects
