University of California, Irvine in 2013. As a graduate student, Dr. Mayoral worked on the shielding of jet noise by a hybrid wing body aircraft. In 2014, Dr. Mayoral joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at California State University, Fullerton where he currently serves as an Assistant Professor. As the PI of the Wind Tunnel Laboratory, his research interests span the areas of aeroacoustics, ground effect aero- dynamics, and has recently expanded his interests into the hydrodynamics of marine life. Moreover, Dr. Mayoral is a CoPI of the NSF funded ”Advancing Student Success by Utilizing Relevant Social-cultural and Academic Experiences for Undergraduate Engineering, Computer Science Students” (ASSURE-US

attitudinal barriers. For example, students withphysical disabilities often face architectural barriers such as laboratory table height, inaccessibleequipment or instrument, and lack of elevators to reach facilities [17]. A non-inclusive schoolculture and negative faculty attitudes toward disabilities greatly impact students’ commitment tothe engineering major and career. Efforts to increase retention of students with disabilities andother marginalized students include curriculum redesign and greater diversity when hiringfaculty [21] [22].Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy, the belief in one’s ability to succeed, has been found to be a criticalskill for students with disabilities. STEM fields, especially, attract a higher concentration ofstudents with

He assisted with writing the AMI accreditation report to the HLC, wrote several successful grants, and managed CCCC’s Advanced Manufacturing Curricu- lum and Pre-Engineering Educational Consortium. In addition the Advanced Manufacturing initiative at CCCC has hired two undergraduates to run the 3-D/Scanner Laboratory. The aforementioned gives the students hands on training in a STEM related field. Mr. Haefner has 13 years’ experience teaching college STEM courses. He has taught construction man- agement at Westwood College in Chicago; mathematics at Mid-Michigan Community College and Cor- nerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI.

in fall 2005, enrollment has increased from 50 (fall 2005) to 255(fall 2016). In 2015 COT applied for an ABET accreditation for the SM program, and in spring2016 the accreditation was granted. Although spring 2010 is the first semester for students toenroll in the SM program in COT, enrollment has increased from 69 (spring 2010) to 100students in fall 2016. With this positive trend, we believe we are on par to meet the enrollmentgoals for both programs in the next few years.The courses taught through each program’s course of study emphasize both theoretical andtechnical knowledge and application and are comprised of group learning, projects, and hands-on(laboratory) components. Small class size and low student-instructor ratio provide a more
