Scholarship Program continues to support the scholars financially andprovide critical support for their success. With this in mind, three scholars who were in theirthird year had their scholarships extended until graduation, and this was based on their academicperformance and funds available as a result only six of the ten new scholarships were awarded in2012-2013.The engineering majors represented by this cohort were chemical, civil, electrical, mechanicaland petroleum, and they entered LSU as transfer students in the fall 2010 or spring 2011semester. The scholars’ academic performance at selection (i.e. at the end of the spring 2011semester) was on average well above the scholarship criteria, and demographics indicate that theprogram attracted

. Finally, if a person exhibits a physical reaction (e.g., sweaty palms, racingheartrate) to a task, these physiological states can lead to positive or negative changes in self-efficacy. We believe that a summer research experience can contribute positively to thedevelopment of each of these four factors and thus to improved self-efficacy for engineeringamong participants.With all of this in mind, the TTE REU Program was created with the goals of increasing studentself-efficacy and transfer rates of community college students into STEM. The program wasdesigned as an intervention for students so that they would have the opportunity to build theirconfidence in science and engineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to
