Number: 24055-01. Quantitative data were obtained from a short survey sent toCyBR-MSI program alumni in April-May 2024. The survey was received by program alumnibetween 12-20 months after program participation, depending on which workshop(s) an alumnusattended. The survey was sent to 248 individuals―6 participated as program mentors or sessionfacilitators, 2 reportedly signed up for an information session but did not participate in aprogram, 8 had undeliverable email addresses, and 3 had outside circumstances that made itchallenging to reach them (e.g., retired, on family/medical leave)–leading to a sample of 229program alumni.

The ACSE model draws heavily fromAkoto (1992)’s theoretical framework for ACE which is built on six key elements: cultural centering,identity restoration, a focus on nation building, holistic development, liberation and empowerment, andthe perpetuation of African values. The ACSE model applies the elements above in the context of STEMeducation. The initial key ACSE model features, according toe Bailey and Bowens (2024) were: ● Ethnically-matched instructors ● Interactive and collaborative learning ● STEM curriculum inclusive of contributions made by people of African descent ● African-centered teaching strategies - methods based on cognitive and epistemological

His research focuses on techniques to collect and analyze the electrical
contexts. These objectivesalign with the principles of adaptive expertise, highlighting the importance of educationalstrategies that prepare students for dynamic professional environments.Despite its importance, adaptive expertise is often underemphasized in first-year engineeringcourses. Traditional curricula frequently focus on routine skills, such as machining or drafting,with limited opportunities for students to engage in open-ended, iterative design processes. Thispaper seeks to address this gap by demonstrating how the integration of Kolb’s ExperientialLearning Cycle, iterative prototyping, and structured coaching can foster adaptive expertise infirst-year students. By building on prior research, such as Larson et al.’s [3] work on

Since the traditionalcohort was also the first cohort chronologically, there is the possibility that the improvement instudent skill was a result of the instructor’s skill improving rather than VF.
