graduation rates of majoritystudents in Engineering? To demonstrate the efficacy of a summer bridge program it isimportant to compare the outcome of interest (GPA, math course grades, retention atthe end of the first year, retention in a particular major, academic self-efficacy, sense ofbelonging) against some benchmark. The benchmark might be the change in scoresfrom a pre-test to a post-test. For benchmarks such as GPA, retention in a major, orgraduation rates in a particular major, the most rigorous way to evaluate the efficacy ofan intervention is to have random assignment of participants to the experimental groupor to a control group.

NSF CAREER awards and many of the NSF Research Centergrant solicitations are even more explicit, requiring that grantees craft educational initiatives thatare based in best practices, bring the academic research to the broader community, and positivelyimpact the pipeline of students pursuing science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM) education and careers. For new faculty, and even veteran faculty, these requirementsfor creative educational initiatives that significantly affect a community outside the confines ofthe laboratory can be very daunting.

variouspositions, we found that student staff use the makerspace not just because of external factors,such as coursework, but also because of the assets they bring to the space.What is a makerspace?Makerspaces are prevalent in institutions across the world and especially prevalent inundergraduate engineering programs. Makerspaces are informal, opt-in STEM (science,technology, engineering, mathematics) spaces and are increasingly recognized for their potentialto increase student access to and engagement with STEM [5], [6], [7]. Over the past two decades,research has highlighted the benefits of makerspaces, including engineering specific skills, suchas prototyping, supporting student design projects, entrepreneurship, and innovation, [8], [9],[10].

for ASEE and an engineering education experience that reflects more diversity and equity, as well as the societal momentum toward dismantling white supremacy and racism, it is time for a Year of Impact on Racial Equity. Many aspects of the current engineering culture have origins and practices that center whiteness and exclusivity. However, we are all caretakers of this engineering culture and can either protect exclusionary traditions or strategically design models that better meet the current diverse challenges and needs for our society. In order to improve the field’s diversity, adaptability, and competitiveness, the Year of Impact on Racial Equity is focused on making organizational change to address the culture

As a result,many different commercial curricula (e.g., Engineering is Elementary, Project Lead the Way,Lego Robotics) and open-source software (e.g., WISEngineering) exist to facilitate integratedinstruction. Further, design-based, project-based, and problem-based learning can
