transfer students shows that different groups of transfer students need different kindsof assistance in order to succeed at their new college or university ([10] and references therein).Factors affecting transfer student success include: • Emotional factors (feeling of isolation, transfer shock, lack of sense of belonging), • Financial factors (cost), • Educational planning factors (credits earned, time to completion, clarity on credit transfer), • Academic factors (GPA, academic preparedness, required remedial courses), • Institutional factors (size of school, distance of school).Research on the STEM transfer pathway involves two sides of efforts: On the side of communitycolleges, they mainly focus on factors that can

programs. At the start of the ATE Program, a preliminary proposal review option wasoffered to all prospective grantees. A prospective grantee had the option to submit a draftproposal to NSF for review by a panel of peers. This preliminary review process mirrored thepeer review process that NSF routinely uses to evaluate proposal submissions. Feedback fromthe preliminary review was provided to the prospective grantee several months prior to theproposal submission deadline, so that project plans could be strengthened and errors eliminatedto help the prospective grantee craft a more competitive final proposal. However, in about 2010,NSF discontinued the preliminary review option. One result of this change was that over time, alimited number of

different than typical campus events is that these sessionsare tailored to STEM Core student interest and availability. The STEM Core team plans theworkshop schedule around the Bridge program and STEM Core academic schedule, i.e., test dates,busier times of the semester, etc. This is meant to be fun and exciting for students, not an extratask that might be stressful for students to attend.STEM Career AwarenessSTEM career industry awareness is a focus of the STEM Core program from the moment studentsbegin participating in the bridge program, as they are tied to specific employers wherever possible.During summer 2022, sites completed ORISE modules in additive manufacturing andcybersecurity tied to research being conducted at national labs.

strategies can be categorized into threeoverarching themes: planning, facilitation, and explanation. Planning strategies are those that aninstructor uses when developing an activity and can include getting or incorporating studentfeedback into their activities. Facilitation strategies are those that an instructor uses during theactive learning activities to help better engage the students in the activity, such as walkingaround the room and answering questions. Explanation strategies focus on how an instructor canintroduce or give context to an active learning activity such as an instructor relating the activityback to the lecture or describing why they are doing the activity in the first place. Much of the previous research focused on active

provided transfer data from 2016-2022, while the other three institutionslisted data for only some of those years. As for the other universities, we were not able to find publicly available information ontheir respective institutional research websites. We then contacted each institutional office directlyvia email to request the engineering transfer data for Black students. In some cases, we weredirected to a data request form, which we have subsequently completed and are currently awaitinga response. In other cases, we have not received responses from our emails. In the coming months,we plan to continue contacting these institutional research offices to try to obtain the informationthat we are requesting. We are also working to contact the

We will add a home room meeting every morning in Year 2 and Year 3.• Given that the community college students all commute to campus, a physical space is needed as a “homebase” to provide a communal location for interactions outside of their research labs.ConclusionsBased on the results from this final program evaluation, the REU-PATHWAYS program

To initiate the CURES development process, course learning outcomes were assessed toidentify the subset of outcomes which did not easily integrate within a research-based project.Course LOs are provided below: 1.

Additionally, 4 th and 8th graders in the U.S.ranks below the 30th percentile out of 64 and 46 participating educational systems worldwide,respectively. Similarly, many students lack spatial visualization skills or the ability to think inthree dimensions, which is critical in STEM careers.The visual thinking and ability to visualize in a 3D

The first activity, which is also anactivity for students that had been previously tried early in the semester at WCC, involvedwriting a paragraph about a recent learning experience (related to the course topic if done withstudents) describing: 1. What you were trying to learn and why; 2. How you planned to use yourlearning; 3. A positive experience during your learning; and, 4. A negative experience duringyour learning. After that, in a second activity, pairs of participants: 1. Reviewed each others’paragraphs; 2. Captured empathy and encouragement points; and, 3. Verbally summarized whatthey learned about each other. For students in their classroom, this activity would be replaced bythe

He is committed to aligning student learning to not only the strategic plan but also the real world, and employer needs. He understands how the college can serve students holistically by focusing on retention and student success initiatives, like improved advising, success coaching, and connections to employers. He is also an advocate of the Building and Construction Trades which provides a great opportunity for hands-on student enthusiasts. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 ASEE Annual Conference

Others, still, have sharedthe negative impacts that first-generation college students face based on having lower income,being under-represented, and lesser prepared [3]. While attending middle and high school, manypotential future first-generation college students lack an awareness that college is a viable path.For those that are aware of higher education, it is often seen as an expensive option or one thatisn’t possible based on current academic success since low-income and under-representedstudents are also statistically more likely to be below grade-level standards.Once in college, low-income students spend additional time and resources seeking scholarshipsand/or working in what are
