Historically,African American and other communities of color have not had that same access to the pre-college STEM education as White communities. Yet, members of these communities of colorhave contributed to technological innovations and STEM achievements.Underrepresentation of minority communities in STEM fields is not an accurate representation ofthe contribution of these communities to the field of engineering. In fact, there is a history ofinnovation and engineering ingenuity and display of engineering attributes in the AfricanAmerican community [4]. The historical engineering contributions of African Americans provideevidence that in the Black community, there might be common knowledge or

for Engineering Education, 2018 An Assessment of HBCU STEM Student Experiences: Towards the Development of a Student Persistence Model Work in Progress: Research PaperAbstract Students pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) degrees atHBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) may face difficult challenges in theirjourney to successfully complete their degrees. To address these challenges, it is important toidentify problematic areas as well as needed areas of improvement in STEM programs,particularly engineering programs from student, faculty, and administrator perspectives. Thepurpose of the present research study is to identify barriers that may hinder students from
tacklingadditional more challenging tasks. The mentors also observed that the girls were most excitedabout the paper circuits activity. The mentors attributed this to the creative aspect of the activity.The girls were very proud of their creations and no two looked alike.a) Have you ever been embarrassed b) Are you interested in math to ask a question in class? and/or technology Figure 10: Pre-survey results. a) What interests you most about b) What would you like to learn more about in technology? terms of engineering/computer science? c) Would you consider going into a math or technology-related major in college
Connections Collaborative (CSC²) initiated andsupported a summer research opportunity for underrepresented minorities within the College ofEngineering at California State University Chico. The aim was to recruit and retain students inscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and facilitate their academicsuccess through hands on learning. Through an application process which considered studentinterests and backgrounds, awardees were paired with a faculty mentor to work on a researchproject over the summer. Students received a stipend and nominal equipment budget to purchasesmall items to support their research projects.

institutionscontinue to push their goals and strategic plans of increasing the science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce. Attempts to increase STEM enrollment atUniversities consistently include the same concepts; bridge programs, learning communities,research experiences and group projects [1]. While attempting to increase undergraduateretention of (URM), these experiences often focus solely on first-year students. In order to meettheir needs, diverse students must matriculate through the Colleges and Universities via thepipeline from secondary education to employment. NSF [2] reports show the attrition rates forblack and Hispanic or Latino students in STEM fields from 2007 to 2013 is low. When lookingat all the students earning

conversations about equity anddiversity in the classroom. The engineering curriculum is not neutral, and knowledge is producedwithin a power-driven social and cultural system [3, 4]. ABET student outcomes are not entirelytechnical and include that students must have an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility, the broad education necessary to understand engineering impacts in a global andsocietal context, and knowledge of contemporary issues. Nevertheless, discussing the societaland ethical implications of engineering and technology is often a daunting task for bothengineering students and instructors [5].At our university, as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Revolutionizing Engineeringand Computer Science Departments (RED
