Undergraduate Rural/NontraditionalStudent Pathways through Identity, Knowledge & Engagement (TURNPIKE) project is an S-STEM partnership between Polk State College (PSC) and University of South Florida (USF)Engineering. TURNPIKE aims to help primarily rural, non-traditional, and underrepresentedminorities (URM) community college students successfully transition from Florida communitycolleges to the urban USF Tampa campus.This project is dedicated to fostering equity in engineering education, actively addressing theequity gap. This initiative aligns with the broader national goal of producing well-educatedindividuals in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. It actively supports theretention and graduation of high-achieving students with

According to Chen and colleagues [1] over 36million U.S. workers were employed in STEM-related occupations in 2019. Because STEM-related jobs often require specific expertise, STEM workers commonly receive specific forms ofeducation and training to equip them with the necessary skills, knowledge, and abilities toperform effectively within STEM industries [18]. It is projected that, from 2020 to 2033,employment in architecture and engineering occupations will grow faster than the average, withan average of 195,000 job openings each year due to the employment growth and the need

So before getting started, it may behelpful to understand why there is such a demand for these workers and why these trades arebecoming more attractive to more people. The sections below will answer these questions. Alsoprovided are brief discussions on what these disciplines encompass and what the jobopportunities are.Building And Technical Skilled Trades Workers Are In Large DemandAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America, 89% of construction contractorswere having difficulty finding trained workers; and 61% reported project delays

However, thesestudents face specific challenges, referred to as the vertical transfer penalty, when they transfer tofour-year universities. This can lead to lower completion rates for community college starterscompared to students who start at four-year universities. The issue seems to be related to factorsregarding the students' experiences, institutional characteristics, and geographic location.

S-STEM proposals are expectedto be built on a foundation of deep needs analyses specific to the targeted population of studentsin STEM disciplines. Based on needs assessment, programs can then focus on implementingappropriate interventions and supports that will be most effective in improving the retention andcompletion of their students. Guidelines for streamlining the acquisition and organization ofcritical elements of student needs analyses can be useful for two-year college faculty andadministrators to develop NSF S-STEM proposals and

in the classroom. It is not uncommon for there to be only one or twowomen present in the sophomore level engineering courses such as Dynamics or Mechanics ofMaterials. The advice offered that seems most applicable is for faculty to ensure that theirclassroom culture fosters mutual respect and to encourage collaborative projects [9]. Thissupports not only students in the minority, but everyone in the classroom.Future Research and LimitationsThere is a bias present in any survey based on who chooses to respond. In this study 89% of therespondents reported that they were fairly or very confident that they would keep their currentchoice of major. This may skew the data on identity and sense of belonging to be overestimated.Future work could
