and underrepresented studentsand requires institutional efforts to help the students adjust in the sophomore year. In this paper,we present a research project funded by a Student Engagement, Retention, and Success (SERS)grant from the Tennessee Board of Regents. The goal of the project is to improve the GPA andretention rate of underrepresented and minority students by engaging them in a summer researchand enrichment program. The project was carried out in Summer 2020. Compared with similaractivities in the literature, our program has the following unique features: (1) Low floor, widewalls, and high ceiling; (2) Collaborative learning in a cross-disciplinary setting; (3) Hands-onand real-world oriented; and (4) It was offered online instead

prioritized ascrucial outcomes for participants in the virtual experience.Due to concerns about student retention and program completion, special consideration wasgiven to designing the curriculum and schedule of this virtual program, and to fostering studentand family engagement leading up to the program. Various models for math instruction,interpersonal engagement, and academic support were considered during planning. In theimplemented program, participants were enrolled in one of three math courses based onpreassessment exam results. To increase peer-to-peer engagement, each student participated in ateam-based design project and group mentoring. Current engineering students were hired ascoaches to facilitate mentoring group discussions and help

evolve fromresearch proposals to developmental phases. This indicates that communication, technical, andleadership skills are an essential set of tools embedded within groups to execute and maintain thefocus of innovative ideas. Thus, it is demonstrated that role of the practicing engineer is more thanfinding solutions to technical problems. It may include managing projects, working in teamsettings, communicating, decision-making, preparing technical reports, organizing events,scheduling meetings, or proposing new methods of solving problems.These roles and duties, despite being essential for the success of a practicing engineer, are notcultivated in undergraduate engineering curricula which are focused on strengthening andnurturing areas in

By appealing to students who may not necessarily be attracted to working on a research project for their whole summer but would be interested and curious enough to give it a try for six weeks--a part of their summer. This may be particularly true if a student is from an institution with little or no research opportunities, or has yet to avail themselves of opportunities to do research; a 10-week commitment may be off-putting, whereas a six week

, scholarship on nontraditional students is especially relevant. A summary ofthe overlapping research bases that contribute to this topic are presented in Figure 2.2. Research QuestionsIn this pilot research project, we employ a mixed methods approach to identify themes related to thepersistence of nontraditional undergraduates in engineering and computing and identify institutionalmisalignments that affect their learning. This approach aims to improve the persistence of nontraditionalstudents and offer insights that can be applied across other institutions. The research questions that we planto address are as follows:What factors and experiences impact nontraditional students’ persistence in engineering at a largeMSI? • What challenges to persistence

This idea of supporting the pre-engineeringstudent in a culturally appropriate manner was a significant factor of the origin story ofthe four tribal colleges involved in this project, and for all of the TCU’s in existencetoday. In this way it was believed that between TCU's and the mainstream institution thestudents would get more personalized and therefore effective engineering educationwhile they had the opportunity of developing and maintaining their cultural identity goingforward in their chosen careers. How that initial rationale was refined and applied fromthe end of the first funding cycle to the beginning of the lockdown
