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

those participating in the SPECTRAresearch courses, we found the SPECTRA students had a higher sense of belonging intheir research course compared to traditional students in various courses across the entireengineering college [7]. Our work has shown that active students find value in theirparticipation; however, we have not until this point analyzed the long-term impacts of theprogram, specifically after the participants' graduation.​ S-STEM programs commonly interview and survey students as they enter and exit theirtransfer programs as well as to check in periodically and continually improve [8,9,10,11]. It isless common to follow up with graduated students who are in the midst of career searches, havebeen working engineering jobs, or
