We discuss some of the mostcommon student support services and provide recommendations for optimizing theireffectiveness.BackgroundAccording to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in STEM occupations grew by 10.5percent between May 2009 and May 2015, compared to a 5.2 percent net growth in non-STEMoccupations; the electrical engineering industry is projected to grow by 11 percent from 2014 to20242. This growth rate provides an opportunity for universities to draw on new sources of talentto feed the pipeline to STEM careers; a popular choice being community colleges, which areuniquely positioned to provide a talented and diverse pool of transfer students

Pre/post surveys and focus group interviews were conducted tocollect data from participants. Students strongly indicated that the program was an importantbridge between their undergraduate and graduate careers and that important knowledge, skills,and interests were developed as a result. One of the main self-perceived deficiencies of studentsentering the program was technical communication, and gains were achieved in this area bystructuring biweekly program-wide meetings around developing relevant skills.

Flow velocitymeasurements in the test section were made by simple flow visualization and found velocityranged from 0.32-0.65 ft/s within a 6”x12”x12” test section. The water flume was subsequentlyused by a senior capstone project for testing of their water turbine. Student self-evaluations wereused to assess whether their experiences reinforced fluid mechanics concepts and developed theirskills in experimental fluid mechanics.
