After aSTEM student has been in a program for two years or more, the URM doctoral student attritionrate is nearly 50%, with completion rates varying by discipline and ethnicity [2].

Our objective is to utilize the robotics workshop to introduce STEMconcepts to high school students, and encourage them to be interested in an engineering andscience career. A sequence of workshop topics were given to introduce the fundamentals ofrobotics science and the basic components of a robotics system, including hardware, software,programming, sensors, and control. The students would gain intensive experience working withthe robots. In addition to introducing the fundamentals, we planned to prepare the students withthe

Only two students stated thatthey did not plan to pursue graduate studies after completing their baccalaureate degrees. Incomparison, the post-summer survey showed 17 students intending to pursue graduate studies,six undecided, and two not planning to do so. Even though the aggregate numbers of replies areconsistent, quite a few students changed their intentions, indicating that they were impacted bytheir participation in the McNair Program. Half of the students who were undecided before theprogram decided to pursue graduate studies. Conversely, three students who planned to pursuegraduate studies became undecided

Students typically had a fixed schedule of classes their firstsemester, with some divergence (depending upon degree plan) taking place in the secondsemester. For example, first semester students take courses in student success (PSYC 100),computer skills (CSCI 101), composition (ENGL 110), and math (MATH 099 thru 103) inalignment with their placement test.

This was evident in the first summer of the grant, and isdocumented in an early focus group report: Faculty had the sense there was a plan developed by the RED team to move forward, and that faculty who were not PIs or co-PIs did not have access to the details of that plan. Some co-PIs of the RED grant clarified during the focus groups that the plan is emergent, and that the goals were to develop a plan together. *Some faculty perceived an assumption by the external consultant that the department was in need of a drastic change in culture/climate. *Some faculty perceived a lack
