to enroll in the program. Each session lasts two hours, generally from 9 – 11am. The first hour of each session is spent using the “Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces” (ALEKS) web-based instructional software. Students work through the program individually with monitoring from volunteers. For the 2nd hour of the session, the students participate in hands-on and/or group projects that 1) help reinforce the lessons learned in their classroom and ALEKS and 2) help increase student excitement and efficacy towards learning STEM concepts. Students enter the program at the beginning of their 3rd grade year. These students are grouped as a cohort. The first cohort in West Lafayette launched in 2017. The first cohort for

Erica’s familial experience highlighted this conflicting message: Since I'm the only one in my family who has gone to college and to graduate school, every time I come around, my family is like, "oh, you're gonna be a doctor!"… [So] every single time that I'm at work and I'm considering "is this really what I want to do," I have that in the back of my mind, wait, I'm going to let all these people down?

However, it has been noted by the DOE AdvancedScientific Computing Advisory Committee (2) and others (3) (4) (5) that the DOE Laboratories faceworkforce development and recruitment challenges. Further complicating the matter is theunderrepresentation of women and minorities in high end computing. Disparities in representation andparticipation impede educational attainment and access to the Science and Technology (S&T) workforce.While underrepresentation and lack of diversity are noted generally across S&T fields, they are more 1pronounced in mathematical and computing sciences (6) (7) (8) (9).

In addition,each response was coded for workshop location (Texas or

It is critical that we understand how all students, and 3especially those from underrepresented groups, come to negotiate the cultural norms within thesemaker communities [7] and the impact that it has on their identity development as engineers.IdentityIdentity is a process of understanding one’s self within the larger sociocultural context [8-9].According to Erikson, identity helps individuals make sense of and find their place in the world.In the 1980’s, McAdams extended Erikson’s work on identity, arguing that as an individual tellsand retells their story and how they fit into the world, they are developing their identity.

aid, first-generation college-attendance and socioeconomic status.Research Question: Is there a critical threshold (minimum) for high school grade point averageand standardized test score(s) that accurately predicts underrepresented minority student success,defined as six-year graduation, in engineering? Does the threshold vary by higher educationinstitution? We investigated whether the data supports using a singular combined threshold usingboth high school grade point average (HSGPA) and standardized test scores, or whether the datasuggests using another model for predicting success in engineering as measured by a six-yearengineering graduation rate.Background: During 2005-2015, 81% of all U.S. undergraduate engineering degrees wereawarded

And it wasn't just I'm just a student and I'm going to go to a general body meeting and do this. It was, “well after this school years over with, all my other friends in Purdue NSBE, they're doing internships or they're doing research that's pretty cool over the summer, like I need to do the same thing.” And it kind of raises the standard of- or like raises the bar on what you need to do outside of just classwork.
