Page 24.724.4to a larger four-year institution, they are often “lost in the forest”. Many of USA’s transferstudents do not live on campus, and frequently commute more than an hour each way. Thusthere is little opportunity for these students to develop a sense of community.The student success seminar has been extremely effective in getting the students to worktogether. The small, intimate class (17 - 22) and the numerous group projects and activitieslead to collaborative student interactions that last after the end of the semester.Another mechanism that promotes community building is the formation of Mentor Triads.Each USA-LINK student is paired with a previous USA-LINK scholar and a faculty mentor.These triads meet to assist in the student’s

800,000 new engineers will be needed by 2018; however, the U.S.currently graduates only one-fourth of that number. Women and minorities are potentialprospects for meeting this need because they are projected to fill approximately 70 percent of thejob market at that time. However, they currently compose only 20 percent of the existing STEMrelated job market. Consequently, it is critical for the American higher education system to Page 23.1206.3provide sufficient training to fill technical skills gaps in all students, particularly those within thegrowing populations of minority and older workers.6Nontraditional students often lack the most

In 2008, Cañada was awarded a Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) grant by the U.S. Department of Education. The project, entitled Student On-ramp Leading to Engineering and Sciences (SOLES), aimed to increase the participation, retention, and success of underrepresented and educationally disadvantaged students interested in pursuing careers in STEM fields. Among the strategies developed for this project is the Summer Math Jam – a one-week intensive mathematics program designed to improve students’ preparation for college-level math courses. When the SOLES grant ended in 2011, the college received

We tell the students that a Master’s degree is very valuable inindustry. With a Master’s degree a student is more likely to start at a project manager positionequivalent to two years of experience, as well as beginning with a higher salary. Manyengineering students report that they needed a Master’s degree to give them a much firmer holdon their engineering field to feel comfortable going out as an engineer and to enable them toparticipate in exciting industrial projects.
