Prior to proposal development, KSfacilitates a STEM self-assessment and strengths/gap heatmap discussion with a cross-departmental STEM team at each participating college [4] [5]. KS then facilitates the 2-year HSISTEM team in developing a STEM plan and prioritized research concepts that align with theCollege Strategy, leverage STEM strengths, and address STEM gaps. This approach by KS hasgenerated a portfolio of potential research funding opportunities for STEM improvements at each2-year HSI prior to proposal development.The approach for the HSI ATE Hub is a 2-step intervention

The topics covered were: introduction to manufacturing systems, MasterProduction Schedule, Material Requirement Planning, Inventory Management and Control, andIntroduction to Lean Production. The scaffolded aspects of electronics and digital fabricationwere covered through the examples (e.g., mass manufacturing of LED lights for decorationpurpose) given when discussing the manufacturing concepts.

Two very big differences however, are that community colleges typicallyhave extremely limited funding and their students and faculty are often very different comparedto those at universities.Because of the differences inherent to community colleges, the limited information that isavailable for reference may not be directly applicable to those in the community colleges whoare considering or planning the creation of a makerspace.

Ten students were accepted to doundergraduate research at SAC with two faculty members.The 10 students formed three teams and each team submitted a research proposal.

Results of SEI implementationshow that the program has been successful in promoting interest in engineering among programparticipants, increasing their self-efficacy in studying engineering, and enhancing success amongthose who have decided to pursue an engineering degree. A follow-up survey given to thegraduates of the first three years of the

For the most part, transfer studentscarry these challenges as invisible minority marks. As such, they may share with other minoritystatuses a sense of “otherness” from the mainstream college student, and consequent obstacles toself-confidence and -efficacy, weaker academic achievement, uncertainty of future plans in theirmajors, and a weaker sense of being part of the (student) community in their major.
