The DFW rates were also decreased in all semesters in all thetargeted STEM gateway courses in this study. Based upon the success and lessons learned, ourfuture work will expand and test the interventions in more gateway courses across STEMdisciplines at AAMU, to enhance the minority student success, retention and graduation.1. IntroductionSTEM education is the gateway to prosperity for our ever-evolving technology-dependentsociety in the 21st century.

a recent process of curriculum reformin an undergraduate engineering program. Curriculum continues to hold a prominent spacein discussions around engineering education, yet there are limited exemplars of full scalecurriculum reform around the globe. At the University of Cape Town (UCT) in South Africa,the design of the new chemical engineering curriculum drew on contemporary shifts inthinking about the engineering profession [1, 2], as well as a focus on widening access to thedegree and coupling this with success. Furthermore, engaging with current deliberations onthe problem-based curriculum, this design took on a problem-centered focus [3]. Thiscurriculum design demanded a far more integrated mode of course delivery than is typical ina

The TAs hold office hours, grade assignments, “functioning at the level of efficiencyand expertise of the instructor, especially as it relates to providing thoughtful written feedback”[24]. This interaction is especially important in mathematics or programming courses, whereworking problems is an important part of the curriculum.

This alignswith the goal of The Engineer of 2020 and is important to consider in curriculum development inengineering. Similarly, the key areas that students feel least confident in can be consideredopportunities to help them learn. For example, we found the students do not feel confident inidentifying the audience for whom they are writing, expressing ideas clearly to others, clarifyingthe source of problems on teams when they arise, identifying verbal and non-verbal behaviorsthat may be due to cultural norms, and creating visuals that communicate concepts, narratives, orarguments.Communication instructors, we hope, can benefit from our study by developing

, which could be because there was a diverse range of graduating years, and thisaspect of the curriculum has changed over time. Similar to instructors, a few recent alumnimentioned the Engineering & Society course as an effective learning experience to learn aboutthese concepts. They also mentioned that this implicit structure is integrated within the designcourses.Some of the noteworthy suggestions included teaching ethics as “grappling with the ambiguity ofit” rather than as a checklist to memorize; provide real life examples and guest seminars on thetopic; and presenting ethics as fundamental topic taught by experts. For example, an alumnusworking in the AI field suggested the following: “I think an ethics course that suggests thatethics
