increased numbers of historically underrepresented students.The Femineer® Program was created to increase the number of women in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, especially engineering. Since 1980, femalestudents have continued to distance themselves from STEM courses [1]. According to theNational Center for Education Statistics, 35% of STEM bachelor degrees were conferred towomen in 2014. Of this 35%, 19.8% were engineering bachelor degrees [2]. In 2004, 20.5% ofengineering bachelor degrees were awarded to women [3]. This data shows that women areearning less engineering bachelor degrees and there has not been much progress since 2004.The issue of few women in STEM derives from STEM stereotypes and the gender gap

Exploring Student Perceptions of Teamwork in a Summer Outreach ProgramAbstractIncreasing numbers of summer outreach programs aim to engage students in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM). A common approach to these programs is project-basedlearning (PBL), which often involves working in teams. Ideally, students participating in theseprograms work together in teams to apply the STEM knowledge gained from their programexperiences; these intentional communication and collaboration experiences are also likely toenhance students’ teamwork skills. However, team experiences are not always positive, andsome team members may not feel welcome to contribute. Team experiences can negatively affectstudents’ sense

MISSIONThe LSAMP program is a National Science Foundation funded program that assistsuniversities and colleges in their efforts to significantly increase the numbers ofstudents matriculating into and successfully completing high quality degreeprograms in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)disciplines.The LSAMP Program seeks to transform undergraduate STEM education primarilythrough 1. Innovative, evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies 2. Relevant educational experiences in support of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines LSAMP PROGRAM PRIORITIES1. Increase individual student retention and progression to baccalaureate degrees for underrepresented racial and ethnic
