andAurora, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Lockheed Martin, and others. Underthe award, three additional community colleges will implement the model in future yearscontributing students to the target number of 60 internship participants each summer of the project.When it concludes, this six-year project will have supported ~300 community college studentsfrom five Denver-area community colleges in 10-week (at full-time), paid, engineering-researchexperiences. This paper explores the feedback collected from participants during the first year ofthe internship program to understand how students’ experiences may be affecting their interest incontinuing their engineering pursuits.OverviewThe Engineering Momentum project, (formerly the

Oak Ridge NationalLaboratory, was contracted to develop 5 two-week modules for Summer Bridge sites toincorporate the hands-on STEM project experience. Hands-on projects are based on research 3and work happening at partner national laboratories and include engineering graphics, 3Dprinting, introductory-level computer programming, and cybersecurity simulations. The projectsare also contextualized for students to help real world issues and are approachable for studentswho have no experience in the topic. Lastly, each module encourages facilitators to shareresources and career pathways available at the national labs in these areas. This approach

Most math courses lastedabout two hours per day.Hands-On STEM ActivitiesMany STEM Core students report a lack of connection to the STEM economy in general and lackwhat research identifies as a clear “STEM identity.” In order to develop the critical STEM identity,make clear connections to real-world math applications, and provide resume-worthy projects thatwill inform their impending internship search, STEM Core Summer Bridge students completehands-on STEM projects. To assist with the creation of accessible and engaging content, GrowthSector worked with Oak Ridge Institute for Science Education (ORISE), based at Oak RidgeNational Laboratory.

of STEM majorsfrom community colleges through relevant initiatives. Such initiatives offer advanced scientificknowledge, and laboratory experiences, and inspire aspirations for graduate school, therebyenabling these graduates to pursue a comprehensive education that opens up numerous careeroptions. However, the review also highlighted the challenges faced by community collegestudents and faculty in participating in these initiatives[1].It was reported that effective transfer strategies were developed to customize researchexperiences for community colleges and establish long-term partnerships with four-yearinstitutions, to improve accessibility and tackle obstacles [2]. These initiatives aim to expandopportunities for community college

], and construction of a community or supportsystem [7][5][12].A common theme amongst many transfer programs is that they allow students to participate inundergraduate research experiences. It can allow students to build connections with peers andnetwork with faculty or other researchers, as well as provide them with the experience of puttingtheir skills to work in the laboratory setting [1][5]. In some instances, the participation ofundergraduate students in research projects leads to a higher percentage of graduating studentsthan those who did not participate [11].Feeling connected and building a community is also a common finding among the programs.Transfer students may feel particularly alone as they begin their new programs [10
