The programs were designed toovercome known barriers to persistence of transfer students from community college, includinglack of engagement on campus, underdeveloped professional work ethic and goals, deficientstudy habits, fewer opportunities to gain practical competence/reflection on learning, andworking for pay. The elements of the programs included cohorting, team-building, mentoring,tutoring, and advising, as well as monetary support in the form of scholarships

This provocation provides a sample case for understanding accomplicerelationships and suggests heuristic for potential accomplices to use in establishing enduringcoalitions between Black and white women.IntroductionIn 1979, Audre Lorde [1] published a letter she’d written to Mary Daly, author of Gyn/Ecology.In it, Lorde, a Black queer woman poet and theorist, praised Daly for her work and yet shared thereality facing Lorde as she read it: To imply, however, that all women suffer the same oppression simply because we are women is to lose sight of the many varied tools of the patriarchy.

results stronglysuggest that the issue of having the FE Exam in the English language is not as critical asoriginally hypothesized. However, additional research, needs to be performed before reachingany solid conclusions; for example, are these results repeatable? Also, will the results hold inother areas of the FE Exam, for example, problems in ethics or engineering economics, in whichthe vocabulary may be more difficult to comprehend and problem statements are usually longerin length? Still, students committed orthographic errors in the translated text; however, these did notalter the meaning of the problem. The author was able to conclude that the students clearlyunderstood the problem and had identified the problem to be solved (find

As they discussed their journey throughundergraduate school and their career their description of what it meant to be an engineer nolonger reflected the stereotypes that they described initially. They started to personalize theirdefinitions to now embody personal traits, and they started to describe engineering as part oftheir individual and collective identities. Andy described engineers as individuals with a “strongwork ethic… and high integrity,” “being comfortable around technical information,” and“definitely takes a different kind of thinker to be an engineer.” She also described it as “fun,”likening engineering to being “[…] a private detective.” Others

For example, when asked to describe what factors wereused to select a mentor student participant responses were as follows: 1) professionalism of the mentor,2) previous advising experience with mentor, 3) person demonstrated consideration for the student ingiven situations, 4) person was eager to share information to assist with pursuing degree, 5) commonresearch interests with the mentor, and 6) work ethics of the mentor

It is very important to have a clearand consistent program schedule. Most of our SRI daily activities were scheduled at the sametime every day. Clear and frequent communication with the participants is imperative before theprogram starts, to discuss the program design and emphasize the responsibilities of theparticipants.

Another example from a previous implementation was in an Ethics course, where studentsposted an image on Instagram that responds to what is ethics from an engineering perspectiveand how would a project manager's office include unethical/biased resources. By the end of thesemester, the students complete a post-course survey that addresses the same questions.The pre- and post-course surveys in this study are also used to evaluate the effectiveness ofintegrating Social Media platforms in STEM courses

Althoughhigh school GPAs and standardized scores are considered as part of the application, the decisionfor acceptance into SB is a combination of a student’s expressed work ethic, letters ofrecommendations from high school counselors and teacher, and overall transcript courseevaluation.

This provides the type of cross-sectional data necessary todetermine the effect of the intervention on both retention and performance. Saliently, thisexperimental approach offers important advantages over a true randomized experiment, as itavoids both denying mentors to students who want them and imposing mentors on uninterestedstudents, which has been identified as an ethical concern (Gershenfeld, 2014).In the following section, the raw data acquired to date is shown, followed by the description of a)the data analysis performed to identify statistically significant effects of the intervention onretention and performance; and b) the results of said analysis.3
