attended the Bridge remotely, still found the experiencetransformational. In a case study interview conducted by Ruxton Consulting, one student attributedtheir success to the Bridge saying, “I really think I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be studyingengineering without the creation of the Bridge program.” (Ruxton Consulting Evaluation Reportpresented to the PI, 2022).Students also reflected on how their effort, within the structure of the Bridge, contributed to theirimproved self-efficacy in math. As one student shared, “It's not a test of your finances, or yourbrains. It's a test of how hard you can work, and I think that's a great factor to measure someoneby.” Another student acknowledged how much work was ultimately needed in order to be readyfor

academic/personal growth and understanding of engineering careers.Participants reported increased interest in and understanding of research practices and futurecareers. One “Learned so much more about the field I am going into and the different types ofwork I can expect in my future.” Another described growth in research interest, career potential,and opportunities for future study: “Ultimately, it [the internship] opened my interests and eyes to a different type of engineering that I did not expect. Also, with seeing how helpful this opportunity was I have become more excited to transfer and get more involved with this project or other projects.”Emerging self-efficacy [19]-[23] as an engineer is evident in the

and staff validation, financialknowledge, motivation and self-efficacy, and social support [8], [9], [10], [17]. This theory isunique in its integration of various forms of capital which include human capital, social capital,community and cultural wealth, and experiential capital to name a few [9], [10], [18], [19], [20],[21]. Prior research has unfortunately assumed that unsuccessful, disadvantaged, and/orunderrepresented transfer students are absent or lacking in knowledge, qualities, experiences,and/or resources needed to be successful in the transfer process [18], [22], [23]. The shift from adeficit-based focus to weaving together forms of capital highlights one of the most significantstrengths of this framework, which is the facilitation

. Although the formal definition of CURES varies across the literature, the integrationof experiential learning opportunities organized around a motivating research question aregenerally common across implementations. CURES are a uniquely valuable intervention for deployment at two-year institutions, wheremany students face restrictions which prohibit their participation in extracurricular activities. Theimplementation of CURES at two-year institutions presents unique challenges versus universitiesdue to the lack of existing research infrastructure. In addition, many students attending two-yearinstitutions are from historically marginalized groups, and may have limited resource awarenessand self-efficacy as it relates to performing research

is the S-SMART Summer Internship Program, which offerscommunity college students who have limited previous research experience meaningfulopportunities to engage in engineering research with close mentorship from faculty and peermentors, as well as gain hands-on teamwork experience. Research has shown that closementorship and teamwork can enhance academic performance, increase retention and persistenceto graduation, improve confidence and self-efficacy, and enhance career preparation, particularlyamong URM students [13]–[15]. The eight-week summer internship program aims to have ten totwelve community college students from diverse backgrounds in group research projects acrossseveral engineering disciplines within research labs at SFSU School

self-efficacy towards using these strategies, how their students responded to theactivities, and the barriers they encountered when trying to implement active learning in theirclassrooms. The survey allowed an open space for instructors to describe the type of activity theyused in class that day and also asked “Does the activity you described above require students tointeract with each other?” The purpose of this distinction is to eventually better understand howstudents responses to active learning changes when they are asked to interact with their peers, asopposed to doing an activity that is non-interactive. For this paper, Study 1 will focus on whattypes of active learning is being used by instructors, as well as whether or not it is
