Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) in their2012 report2, the fastest way to generate graduates and attain our goal is through differentmethods of teaching, supporting and retaining students. Finding ways to engage them and helpthem to persist is critical to attainment of our goal6. In the following discussion, our partnershipoffers a number of Best Practices that help to generate and maintain students early in thepipeline, engage institutions to common purposes for the good of the students, create cleararticulated pathways in order to build the trust of students and parents, and work with industrialstakeholders as they are realizing that they can no longer take a passive role simply waiting forstudents to exit the

a breaktime which also plays an important role in the learning environment. A particular roomand adjacent outdoor area was designated for breaks and “hanging out” before and after theprogram. Peer mentors were in charge of food preparation and each day nutritious snackswere provided. Sharing food is one of the most common forms of human camaraderie aswell as a basic need 7 and incorporating this into the program was an important part ofcohort building. Many participants would also join in, bringing food from their homes toshare with the group. From a more practical standpoint, providing food can enhancelearning and well-being for those students who leave home for an early start withoutbreakfast.2.

participate in the program.This paper will discuss the successes, obstacles, and best practices in developing andimplementing academic support programs for two-year college engineering students. Page 26.1244.21. IntroductionThere is a large push from multiple directions to increase the number of students in the UnitedStates graduating with STEM degrees. Recent projections show that there must be a 34%increase of students graduating in STEM fields within the next decade to allow the US to remaincompetitive on the world stage. (1) There are numerous academic routes for students to enter aSTEM field and due to the rising cost of traditional 4-year

As the STEM Center has moved forward with newinitiatives, data collection and research have been key components of all programs and servicesoffered.2. Exponential AttritionThe PCAST report identified retention efforts in the first two years of college as a key and costeffective strategy for increasing the overall number of STEM graduates.2 Unfortunately,traditionally underrepresented

counterparts.Many industries, including Advanced Manufacturing lack sufficient skilled labor to meet theirlabor needs.This paper presents an innovative program (TRANSFORM) which seeks to address these twoproblems: lack of meaningful employment for BA graduates and the lack of a sufficient numberof graduates with the essential technical skills to fill advanced manufacturing positions.TRANSFORM has been developed to equip BA graduates with skills essential for a financiallystable career in advanced manufacturing. The central research question is how to accomplish thisvision? The paper discusses a project currently funded by NSF that aims to answer this researchquestion.This paper presents the elements of the program: targeted advanced manufacturing positions

include since conversations to redefine what constitutes diversity in engineering continue to grow14. The impact of social class, which includes socioeconomic status, on students’ experiences in engineering is a developing body of work. For many reasons, more students from all backgrounds are attending community college and not primarily those from traditionally underrepresented groups, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds or students with average merit. Although enrollment, retention and graduation data are often used as metrics of success, it is imperative to gain an understanding beyond the numbers. Such investigation will lay the
