social sciences can and will directly impact their lives, bothas an engineering professional and in the ‘pure’ engineering design work.The last pillar of disengagement is the ideology of meritocracy. Meritocracy is “the belief thatsocial advancement structures in the United States are fair and just“ [11]. While several studieshave documented the impact of implicit bias contributing to a structural environment that is notfair or just, if engineering students are presented with these studies straight forth, the conflictbetween the structural impact of bias and engineering culture’s meritocracy can lead students toreject the studies based on identity-protective cognition [3]. Identity-protective cognition is whenan individual selectively interprets

the type of intervention. The study is not longitudinal, not all interventions wereimplemented for the same group of students.The first-year intervention occurred in the introduction to engineering course. All engineeringand computer science majors take an introduction to engineering course during their first fallsemester. In fall 2015, all sections of the course included a one-lecture workshop on diversity inSTEM. The workshop was designed and led by an academic advisor who works with at-riskengineering students. Goals of the first-year intervention: • Increase awareness of the lack of diversity among students and professionals in engineering. • Increase awareness of privilege as it relates to identity, majority and

Illinois.Wright College’s student success rates measured by completion have been strong and improvingrelative to other national urban community colleges, but are below state and national averages.In 2015 the college piloted a selective guaranteed admission program, Engineering Pathways (EP),to one of the nation’s top engineering schools (The Grainger College of Engineering at theUniversity of Illinois Urbana Champaign, UIUC). Initial results for the small first-year cohort werevery positive: 89% transfer rate and all students who transferred to UIUC graduated. Theprogram’s initial success rested on a) cohort model with a small number of students and strongcontrols; b) co-branding that attracted local students interested in pursuing engineering at UIUCwho
