These experiences may inspire them to pursueengineering degrees, can contribute to the students’ development of engineering skills,knowledge, behaviors. Furthermore, the experiences may positively impact their engineeringself-efficacy through their college years. Although all students may not continue into engineeringcareers these skills are transferable to many career and challenges. [1, 2] For those AfricanAmerican males, who complete STEM degrees, they will be our problems solvers who willaddress the technological challenges to come.

. Some literature fitsMEOs in with professional engineering organizations[31] whereas others classify them asextracurricular or cocurricular activities[39]. Regardless of classification, there is clear evidencethat MEOs support the achievement of minority students pursuing technical majors.How MEOs contribute to the success of URMs in engineering and other technical majorsSuccess for undergraduates in engineering culminates in the completion of the bachelor’s degree.To arrive at that point, minority students must overcome the many structural, institutional, andpecuniary challenges that so often deter their peers. Although there are many critical points in anacademic career at which minority students are discouraged from becoming engineers, most

Research Pipelines for Underserved Students through a Lower-Division Research Experience at a Minority-Serving Institution (Experience)AbstractThis work presents the findings from multiple years of a lower-division summer researchprogram at California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB). The first and second years are acritical intervention point to increase persistence in STEM careers, as over 70% of the non-retained STEM students at CSUB leave in the first two years. Additionally, while there arenumerous works that examine the effectiveness of research activities for retention andpersistence of underrepresented minority students, very few programs focus on lower-divisionstudents.

In these programs, participants learn about differentaspects of STEM majors along with skills and knowledge required for applying to college.Because these programs are sponsored by external funding and networks, they can exposeparticipants to STEM opportunities and careers. Understanding participants’ attitudes towards,and understanding of, engineering and engineering careers can provide insights on how to gaugethe students’ and the community’s understanding of STEM. Thus, these programs have thepotential to broaden participation in STEM fields and increase the STEM workforce [1].It will be important, moving forward, to be able to identify the critical experiences of students inthese

Exposing college students to research projects early in theiracademic careers has demonstrated strong evidence of improved student-persistence [1].
