into Why Well-Supported StudentsLeave a First-Year Engineering ProgramAbstractThis complete research paper examines retaining traditionally underrepresented groups (URGs) inSTEM fields. For the purposes of this paper underrepresented groups include women, first-generation students, and underrepresented minorities (URMs). The retention of URM students inSTEM fields is a current area of focus for engineering education research. Following a literaturereview and examination of best practices in retaining the targeted group, a cohort-based,professional development program with a summer bridge component was developed at a large landgrant institution in the Mid-Atlantic region with a programmatic goal to increase retention ofunderrepresented students

provide value to the engineering innovation andentrepreneurship education fields.ConclusionThe development of the entrepreneurial mindset in both engineering and business undergraduatesis beneficial for their future career prospects. Entrepreneurial mindset can provide students withthe necessary knowledge and skills that will help them in their professional careers including theability to recognize opportunity, manage ambiguity, and persist through failure. To measureundergraduate students’ knowledge and perception of entrepreneurial mindset, a concept mapstudy was performed at a mid-size Atlantic University. The maps were graded independently byresearchers using both the holistic and traditional scoring methods.When the grading methods were

In what follows, we explain our participant selection process,context for the study, the interviews we conducted, and our data analysis process.Project Participants Participants came from five classrooms in three schools in a school system in the mid-Atlantic area and were in the second half of their kindergarten year at the time of the study inspring 2018. Blakely Elementary is in a rural part of the county (one classroom); AdamsvilleElementary is a Title I school in an urban area (two classrooms); and Kellerton Elementary is ina middle-class suburban area (two classrooms); all school names
-institutional study of students’ transitions fromtheir capstone (senior) design experiences into engineering work [21-24]. The sections belowdescribe the sites, participants, data collection, and data analysis.Site DescriptionsThe research study involves four different universities: two large public comprehensiveuniversities (one in the mountain west and one in the mid-Atlantic), one small public technicaluniversity in the southeast, and one small private college in the northeast. Three have a year-longcapstone design program and one has a four-semester design sequence that spans the junior andsenior years. All focus heavily on industry-sponsored projects; three also include faculty-sponsored and national-competition projects. All emphasize
