described how the research experience positively impacted their professionaldevelopment. One faculty member explained how they planned to apply what they learned tocourse development: My RET experience gave me the opportunity to research into relevant issues in Green and Sustainable Manufacturing for Developing Economies. I plan to create team based engineering design mini-projects for my students from my research findings. These real life mini-projects will help my students develop a deeper understanding of sustainable engineering design. I believe that using context-based approaches in my teaching will help my students learn content covered in my courses. By using context-based approaches, students

this growing field. Lastly, due to thedifficulty of giving all students adequate time to practice programming on real robotic arms,there was a recognized need for lifelike and portable simulation software. Thus, a final aspect ofthis partnership was the development of such software at Michigan Tech. Titled RobotRun, thissimulation software is now available through open source licensing to assist students andindustry personnel in learning the basics of robotics programming.Results of Academic Programming and WorkshopsNearly three full years has now passed since the development of this academic programmingbetween Bay College and Michigan Tech, so initial data regarding enrollments, graduations, andworkshop participation is now available.

persevering in STEM pathways is exemplified in the lowpass rates (40-55%) for additional core major requirements, such as General Chemistry andIntroduction to Programming. The lack of retention of STEM students in community collegesand the lack of growth of minority representation in the science and engineering workforce4demonstrates the need to develop strategic programs and practices that increase the number anddiversity of students succeeding in STEM.Skyline College, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA is a member of the CaliforniaCommunity College System and is a federally-designated Hispanic-Serving Institution.
