day-long tour of renewable energy demonstration/research laboratories and engineeringmanufacturing facilities. TxState faculty and graduate students also provided information onSTEM career paths and an update of the Re-Energize program including research andscholarship opportunities.Objective 3: Design and develop a replicable renewable energy laboratory to carry out thetraining and hands-on activities proposed in the Re-Energize program. A replica of the lab willbe established at Eco Centro to operate independently once the training is completed. Activity 3.2: San Antonio College will nominate selected members of STEM faculty and encourage as well as support them to attend the designated Re-Energize professional development

. These EPIC leaders attend class with their students and also hold study sessions outsideclass time each week. EPIC leaders work closely with STEM faculty to ensure that student needsare addressed during study sessions. The program has been proven to be effective in increasingstudent persistence and success rates, and have been expanded to a wide variety of STEMcourses including Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science [17].E. Three-Tier Research Internship ProgramA growing number of studies document the benefits of research opportunities for undergraduatestudents [18-22]. Independent research experiences increase student engagement in theireducation, enhance research and laboratory skills, improve academic performance

well as those who may already hold a college degree andseek training aligned with this viable career path. To prepare the targeted population to fulfillthese needs, the program will focus on applying theories and hands-on skills in the developmentof marketable products, efficient processes, and designs that reflect an awareness of howtechnology meets the needs of society today and in the future. Further, the AAS.MET programwill provide extensive classroom study along with laboratory explorations. The degree is beingdeveloped based on the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) accreditation standards. Oneof the long term goals of the program is to obtain ABET

atdifferent stages in their academic careers. The first level is the ASPIRES Research ScholarsProgram, which is a two-week program that targets freshmen and rising sophomores. Heldduring the winter break, the program introduces students to research and covers the followingtopics: applying for internships; introduction to the research process; university laboratory tours;conducting literature reviews; university transfer process for community college students;presentation skills; and project-specific topics including experimental methods, instrumentation,and data acquisition and analysis.A focus group of STEM students at Cañada College identified common barriers to a successfulresearch internship program for community college STEM students. For most

toreal-world STEM career applications. For example, the Fall 2017 Cohort attended local techcompany visits, Women in STEM Conference, TEDx, UC Berkeley Engineering CommunityCollege Visit Day, Resume Workshops, and participated in a 2-day AutoCAD and SolidWorkstraining camp led by Skyline College engineering faculty to build fundamental CAD skills andmanufacturing experience. During the course of the year, students are prepared for applicationand placement into summer internship sites. Selected students are placed into paid summerinternships through partnerships with Workforce Development and industry partners such asNASA, Stanford Linear Accelerator Laboratory, Lockheed Martin, Zoox, and more.3.

thermodynamicsand transport laboratory courses require junior-level students to use MATLAB for all of theirdata analyses. Similar courses exist in many of the other engineering undergraduate programs atUC Davis.To address gaps in transfer student preparation, a one-unit “Transfer Success Seminar” course isoffered in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh to assist thesuccessful transition of transfer students [8]. Bayles identified MATLAB programming as abarrier to the success of transfer students in her major as many of the assignments required theuse of MATLAB programming. The author found that transfer students who took the transfersuccess course received ABC grades in similar percentages to the students who entered as

engineering, at least 38have graduated with an associate’s degree in engineering and at least 64 have transferredinto engineering-related four-year programs. Of the transfers, at least 32 have graduatedwith bachelor’s degrees, seven are attending or have completed graduate school and about29 are already employed successfully in engineering careers. During the last seven years over 25 of my mentees were accepted for researchinternships at the University of Texas at San Antonio, the University of Texas at El Paso,NASA, Lawrence Livermore, Sandia National Laboratories and H-E-B. Since 2010 to of mystudents received Intern of the Year awards from NASA's Johnson Space Center.Tracking data of those mentored, including success rates, graduation rates
