project intended to assist two-year college faculty andadministrators to prepare proposals for the National Science Foundation Scholarships in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) Program. 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

Surveys B and D at the end of each semester for the next fivesemesters. Statistical analyses similar to those performed for Cohort 2024 will be conducted forCohort 2025. Additionally, the availability of data from both cohorts will allow us to comparetheir outcomes at corresponding points in time. A key distinction in the experimental setupbetween Cohorts 2024 and 2025 is that Cohort 2024 did not have access to the engineeringworkshop during their first semester, whereas Cohort 2025 will have access from the outset.Works Cited[1] N.
