program structure and activities are designed to prepareundergraduates for research work with the ultimate goal of retaining students in science,technology, engineering, and math fields as well as preparing them for graduate school. Thisevidence-based paper demonstrates an effective hybrid-model (virtual and in-person) researchprogram for undergraduate students over a five-year period across a network of eleven (11) siteswithin the continental U.S. Through mixed methods research, a longitudinal case study showsevidence of 100% retention of the *105 REU alumni in the engineering and STEM field; 9% ofthe REU alumni are enrolled in an engineering PhD program; and diversity measures includeparticipation from 53% females, and 25% first-generation

experientiallearning experience on underrepresented minority engineering students, majority black. Thisstudy will focus on students who participate in experiential learning held at an HBCU todetermine the program's impact on their persistence from sophomore to senior year. It alsoprovides insight for Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) and other institutions to learn andmodel best practices for retaining black students beyond their freshman year.B. OverviewAfter successfully retaining students from their freshman year to their sophomore year with anEngineering LLC, in 2017, Florida A&M University (FAMU) introduced an experientiallearning program titled Educating Engineering Students Innovatively (EESI, pronounced “easy”)that expanded on the freshman

one standard error increase for thegroup after the Fellowship ended. These results suggest that multidisciplinary undergraduatescience communication fellowships with a cohort model may increase students’ confidence andself-efficacy in research. Other qualitative successes included students continuing theirextracurricular involvement in career-focused work after the program ended. The next step forthis research study is to conduct interviews with the students from prior cohorts to gainadditional insight into the potential broader impact of the program on student’s confidencewithin academia and in preparation for their future profession. We will continue to collect surveydata on future cohorts to grow our data set and get a more comprehensive

, andproject development of the participants. This paper will also focus on the continued use of remote internshipsand experiential opportunities as a High Impact Practice to engage students at an urban commuter universityacross all majors.BackgroundHigh Impact Practices (HIPs) have been shown to be effective in retention, persistence, and overall studentsuccess [1-5]. These practices include activities such as undergraduate research, service learning, experientiallearning opportunities, internships, study abroad, collaborative projects and writing intensive courses. Theseactivities have been found to be very beneficial for underrepresented students. Institutional resources,curriculums and student body demographics limit the effectiveness of the

(NHERI) – NetworkCoordination Office (NCO) is a National Science Foundation funded collaborative grant thataims to coordinate research and outreach activities for the multi-disciplinary natural hazardsengineering research. As part of the NHERI-NCO, the Education and Community Outreachinitiatives include opportunities for undergraduate students to conduct research to mitigate theeffects of natural hazards. The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) has been well-researched as a best practice for preparing college students for graduate studies (Willis, Krueger,& Kendrick, 2013), especially underrepresented students in engineering (Labrador & Perez,2006). Curriculum was developed specifically for the NHERI REU program to

A majority of companiesbelieve that this shortfall puts them at moderate or extreme risk [11].Paradoxically, some recent cybersecurity graduates report difficulties in obtaining an initialplacement, as entry-level positions often require significant practical experience and credentials.Experiential learning activities, especially those that involve active engagement with employers,can prove effective in breaking this “catch-22” for recent graduates.The low level of ethnic, racial, and gender diversity in the cyber workforce is both a seriousproblem and an area of opportunity: gains in inclusion and diversity would bring qualitative aswell as quantitative benefits.

She employs active learning and project-based learning in her curriculum, using varied approaches for different levels, and correlating course design and teaching techniques to learning outcomes. Dr. Levey was awarded Best Professional Paper at the ASEE NE conference in 2020 for collaborative research related to identifying and addressing gaps in Math skills needed for courses at the sophomore level. She draws from her cross-functional team experience as a Metallurgical Engineer in applied research and development prior to moving into academia.Prof. Ahmet Can Sabuncu, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Dr. Sabuncu holds a Ph.

WIL is considered instrumental in enhancinggraduate employability by improving a range of employability skills (Jackson & Dean, 2023;Patrick et al., 2008), providing opportunities to practice and refine skills in a real worldsetting (Jackson, 2015).

It can expose students in real-life work environment, and help them to integrate thetheoretical knowledge learned in the classroom with best practices in the industry [1]. This isparticularly necessary in practical fields like construction [2]. The complexity of projects and thedynamic nature of the work

, the proposed research has the potential to broaden participationin STEM by increasing engagement, retention, and graduation of underrepresented minorities.Second, in building SocioTechnical Learning capacity, the research will also contribute to newapproaches for community centered solutions that leverage cultural assets of underrepresentedstudents and consider alternative knowledges in collaborative technology design, development,and implementation. As students graduate and enter the workforce, they carry with them thecapacity to respond to human and societal dimensions of technology in daily practices.3.

through multi-year assessment of program SOs [25].However, for all of the papers cited above, the assessment tools were developed for the now-outmoded ABET 2000 “a through k” SOs.More recently, Ozis et al. developed SO assessment methods based on internship experiencesthat map to the modern “1-7” Criteria 3 SOs [13]. Moreover, the authors discuss the impacts thatinternships have on the perspectives and experiences of underrepresented engineering students.The authors identify mapping to six of the seven SOs. The Criteria 3 SOs are, in brief : (1)problem solving; (2) engineering design, (3) effective communication, (4) ethical responsibilities,(5) teamwork, (6) experimentation, data interpretation and engineering judgment, and (7) theability to
