Development of an Alumni Success Instrument Linking Undergraduate Experiences to Graduate PathwaysAbstractHistorically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have made significant contributionstowards ensuring Black student participation, retention, and success in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and continue to play a critical role in the production ofgraduates within these disciplines. Additionally, the pedagogical approaches, principles, andvalues characteristic of the HBCU experience have led to tremendous gains and success inpromoting student achievement in STEM graduate programs. The dominance of HBCUs in thepreparation of Black students for graduate programs suggests a need to better understand

Wedefine non-engineering STEM students as those in the natural sciences, social sciences, andhealth sciences; and non-STEM students as those in the humanities, art, education, business,architecture, music, and public policy. Considering these groups, we will answer the followingresearch questions:RQ1. How do wellbeing indicators compare between undergraduate students in engineering,non-engineering STEM, non-STEM majors?RQ2. How do perceptions of stress, competition, and achievement compare betweenundergraduate students in engineering, non-engineering STEM, or non-STEM majors

Similarly,knowing how forces are represented visually in diagrams is a skill that successful engineeringstudents have. However, many college students have difficulty understanding how physics-basedprinciples are represented visually. As a result, the types of problems assigned in courses likestatics and thermodynamics that utilize these visual representations may be one reason theseclasses are perceived as difficult.
