ElectronicAccess (Experience)AbstractThis paper will focus and comment on the operational variability introduced to a long-standing collaborative aimed at an underrepresented population of Native Americanengineering students in North Dakota. The focus of this paper will center on a decade-long distance-based education collaborative’s resilience to the rapid change incurred bythe adjustments forced upon education by the 2020 pandemic. The most notable of thechanges was the shift from having the majority of the student curriculum taught face toface (outside of the distance-based pre-engineering program) to suddenly the entirety ofthe learning experience moved online. For this particular program, this included the two-week Summer Camp experience at North

means by which the ratio of URM to non-URM STEM majors wasmaintained at a higher level than the same ratio in non-STEM majors. During the same period,the ratio of URM to non-URM students enrolled in STEM majors at TAMUCC increased morerapidly than the same ratio in non-STEM majors, despite the fact that the representation of URMstudents remains higher in non-STEM fields.At PVAMU and TAMU, the LSAMP project supported and encouraged persistence and degreeattainment for many STEM students who would otherwise not have demonstrated resilience andachievement. The TAMUCC campus, established in 1947, is a considerably smaller and muchyounger university than PVAMU and TAMU (both founded in 1876). The Alliance providedmodels for practices and policies

engineering organization chapter activitiesAbstractStudies such as Omer, Sampson & Lee[31] highlight the importance of minority-focusedengineering organizations to the achievement of minority students. With over 250 collegiatechapters and nearly 12,000 domestic collegiate members, the National Society of BlackEngineers (NSBE) provides a programmatic infrastructure for academic support of studentspursuing engineering degrees. However, chapters conduct a wide range of activities that tend tobe highly individualized. Thus, the organization seeks to understand how these chapterscontribute to the success of each member.In partnership with the Evaluation and Action Research Associates, NSBE executed an originalresearch
