studying Human and Social Dimensions of Science and Technology in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society in ASU’s College of Global Futures. She practices Socio-technical Integration Research as an embedded social scientist who collaboratively works with technologists (STEM students, STEM faculty, and Tech Com- panies) to increase reflexive learning during technology development and implementation to pro-actively consider the impact of technology decisions on local communities and society at large. This work creates spaces and processes to explore technology innovation and its consequences in an open, inclusive and timely way.Mara Lopez, Arizona State University Dr. Mara Lopez is a full-time Research

meetings with mentors; extensiveprofessional development seminars; formal research training including daily reflection journals,poster presentations and technical writing with a faculty member. REU students completed twodeliverables: a research project and an open-ended Arduino engineering design project. Initially,students chose their research projects from a list of available opportunities. Once a match wassecured, students worked in their research labs daily with their graduate student and facultymentors.A list of students’ engineering research projects included:1. Accelerating Operations on Graph Neural Network2. Computational Design of Single Atom Catalysts for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction3. Information Theory to Pinpoint Causal Links

obtained in labs, research facilities, and testing facilities, allowing students toactually apply what they learn in the classroom to practical real-life situations. For example, inthe architectural technology program, students can design their dream home with all the requiredspecifications and codes, and it will be ready to build whenever the opportunity presents itself.As another example, students taking carpentry and welding courses can actually build andconstruct something of practical use, and not just test it to see if it works, like you would in alaboratory situation at a four-year institution. All of this allows students to actually experiencethe things they want to do, not just visualize or theorize about them.Table 4 shows the required

impact, and this project, you know, impacting others in a good way. So, I think that will be the best defining moment.”DiscussionThough SPECTRA is in early practice, several important themes are already shown in dataderived from student interviews. The most compelling of these findings is how students interactwith their cohort and the overall benefits they feel they are getting from participating in theprogram. These findings correlate strongly with research done by similar transfer programs.Interacting and making connections with others is a vital part of the college experience andsomething that is particularly important for transfer students, who may have a more difficult timeforming connections than students who began at a four-year

scienceprograms and, ultimately, achievement of bachelor’s degrees (Wang, 2020). The need for financialsupport, resulting in most community college students needing to work while pursuing degrees, iscited as a major barrier for many community college students (Mendoza, 2009), particularly forthose who could benefit from full-time enrollment. Just-in-time academic support is one strategyfor improving student persistence in STEM, among many other researched best practices.Growth Sector, the backbone organization for the NSF Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Initiative’sSTEM Core Expansion Alliance (#1834628), along with partner institutions, has developed andimplemented the STEM Core at 30+ partner colleges in seven states, serving over 3,000 studentssince
