freshman year of their engineering curriculum. At the end of the freshman yearthe reported values of self-efficacy, the intrinsic value of learning engineering, and the utility valueof engineering all decreased from the initial values reported when students entered their freshmanyear. This research also showed that intrinsic interest in engineering and the utility value ofengineering were better predictors of career path than self-efficacy.1.2 Brief Description of AcES ProgramThe Academy of Engineering Success (AcES) program was established in 2012 to increaseretention of students who are traditionally underrepresented in engineering with the goal ofultimately diversifying the engineering workforce. The program has been funded through an NSFS-STEM

attend it. The grading for the classwas pass/fail.Engineering Living Learning CommunitiesThe College began a small engineering living learning community (ELLC) of 28 students in thefall of 2007. Two years later, in 2009, the ELLC was then moved to a newer more expensiveresidence hall in 2009 which had suite style rooms and was located close to the engineeringbuildings. That year the enrollment more than doubled (see Table 1). Due to limited residentialhousing there is no more room to expand the ELLC.Table 1.

of 0.000 was found betweenstudents who had taken a CS course in HS and those who had not. Thus, students who took a CScourse in high school typically reported that they had stronger programming skills. This result isalso illustrated in Fig. 3. In the below chart, the red bars represent students who reported taking aCS course in high school while the grey bars represent students who did not report taking a high Figure 2: High School Computer Science Course Experience by Genderschool CS course. The distribution of the red bars is farther to the right (corresponding to a higheraverage reported skill level) than the gray bars indicating that students who took computer sciencein high school reported having better programming
