in the fall of 2022, the inauguralcohort comprised eight students, including new first time (NFT) students and transfer students.The following year saw the addition of a second group of 15 students, increasing the totalnumber of students enrolled into the program to 23. Beyond offering financial aid, ASESsupports its participants with academic resources, such as a credit-bearing course on engineeringleadership and career development, and access to faculty and peer mentorship in a mentorshipprogram. Throughout its first three semesters, spanning from Fall 2022 to Fall 2023, the programsuccessfully retained a significant number of its students.The literature suggests that bolstering student support systems and fostering faculty

To get a sense of the difficulties students from low-income schools must face, considerthe statistics that were reported in the tenth annual High School Benchmark Report (NSCRC,2022), a report that includes over one million high school graduates per year from public andprivate high schools. Sixty-five percent of students

Figure 4: Response to survey Question 7 versus Final Exam Problem Grade In addition to the survey, the grades from the Markov chain question on the 2023 finalexam were compared to those on the almost-identical problem given in 2022. (See Appendix forquestion details.) Out of 15 possible points, the students in 2022 averaged 9.68 points with astandard deviation of 4.36. In 2023, the students averaged 10.46 points with a standard deviationof 3.69. Though the difference in grades between the two years does not rise to the level ofstatistical significance (𝑝 = 0.14), it is hoped that with more administrations of the course in thefuture, and therefore more data, a significant difference will be seen.Future Changes Overall, the
% of those in RBE 3002 indicated havingscant experience in C++ and Python, respectively—skills considered beneficial or “good to have”for their respective courses. This confirmation of the problem’s existence across different corecourses was a clear indication that the issue was systemic and not confined to a single course. Figure 2: Survey results: RBE 2002 (left) and RBE 3002 (right) for all students in Spring 2022.These revelations presented a red flag for the RBE curriculum, underscoring a critical gap in theprogramming preparedness of students. Such a gap poses significant challenges, not only for thestudents struggling to meet the course demands but also for the overall effectiveness of the RBEprogram. It became evident that addressing

program is the historic lack of community-engagement skills in engineering curricula.Thus, many of the faculty and staff within the HE advisory committee (though not all) haveacademic backgrounds in engineering but are not formally educated in community development.Therefore, much of their perspective on the desired learning outcomes is informed by personalexperience in the HE space, rather than an understanding of the literature and best practices. Toovercome this limitation, several steps were taken throughout the 2017-2022 timeframe. Anundergraduate student was hired to find and review college and university community-engagedengineering curricula (under a variety of names), with the goal of incorporating additionalcomponents the team had not
provide data first on the number of Black engineeringtransfers overall, and then parenthetically list the number of Black engineering transfers fromcommunity colleges. On the other hand, North Carolina A&T provided only the numbers of Blackengineering transfers overall on their websites, but did not disaggregate these numbers by sendinginstitution type. In this case, we note that the number of Black engineering transfers fromcommunity colleges was unavailable (U/A). Another inconsistency is the specific years for whichtransfer data is reported by each university. In some cases, data was available as far back as fall2016, while in other cases, data was available for terms as recently as the fall 2022 incoming class.Florida A&M University

Then, specific implementation approaches forgetting students started using ROS are introduced/described along with specific examples andpros/cons of each approach. Finally, ROS1 versus ROS2 is discussed to describe the utilityof each option for instructors as they develop their courses. Overall, this review is meant tocollate motivation and options for instructors in robotics trying to incorporate ROS into theircourses with minimal overhead for themselves and students.2 IntroductionAccording to the 2022 ROS Metrics Report, ROS has been cited in academic papers 10,467times and more than 740 companies
variables. Open-ended survey items were used as a supplementary data source. Thepreliminary results from the first year of implementation (2022-2023 academic year) suggest thatsimilar to the original study, there is an increase across some of the student constructs, includingstudent engagement. This finding was also supported by engineering teachers’ input aboutstudent engagement in the classroom. As the study progresses into its planned 2 nd and 3rd yearsof curriculum implementation, we will be able to further discern the extent to which multipleyears of course enrollment might differentially impact the attitudinal factors of interest (i.e.,dosage effects
