Academy of Engineering Success (AcES) program employs known best practices to supportengineering students with the goal of retaining them through graduation and diversifying theengineering workforce. The AcES program started in 2012 and has been supported by NSF S-STEM award number DUE-1644119 since 2016. Cohorts from 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019consist of 12, 20, 22, and 17 students, respectively. Twenty-one renewable S-STEM supportedscholarships have been awarded to students since 2016.AcES students participate in a one-week pre-fall bridge experience, a common fall professionaldevelopment course, and a course emphasizing the role of engineers in societal development inthe spring semester.

Therefore, many of our College of Engineering (COE) students have to work extrahours off-campus to meet financial needs and have limited opportunities to participate in on-campus activities focusing on their major. About half of the engineering undergraduate studentsare Pell Eligible. An interdisciplinary faculty team from mechanical engineering, civil andenvironmental engineering, biomedical engineering and chemical engineering, and electrical andcomputer engineering created a Scholarship Program for Undergraduate Retention and Success(SPURS) with the support of NSF’s S-STEM initiative. The proposed program consists of anintegrated approach to increase the number and graduation rate of undergraduate students whoenroll in the College of Engineering

Students were required to provide grade reporting sheets at the midpoint of the semester and cannot drop or add a course without the permission of the coach. The use of the Success Coach provides a testing ground for the “intrusive advising” method used in the Guided Pathways support model currently being implemented at numerous two-year colleges.
