ofEngineering Success (AcES) was founded in 2012 for non-calculus ready first-time freshman(FTF) engineering students. AcES consists of a week of activities prior to the fall semester and asemester-long course in academic success and professional development, where students buildprofessional networks and improve their success skills through team activities, field trips, mathreviews, projects, academic success workshops, and career exploration. AcES charged a nominalapplication fee, but program specific scholarships were provided to remove the financial barrierfor underrepresented students such as low-income, women, underrepresented minorities (URM),and first-generation. AcES faced significant recruitment challenges due to the institutionalrecruitment

solution for increasing nextgeneration experts (NGE) in engineering and computing careers [1]–[4]. Montana StateUniversity’s (MSU) open access mission is to educate the sons and daughters of its state’scitizens. In accordance with this mission, the Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering(NACOE) has preserved their practice of a single application and acceptance process forprograms in the college. Upon acceptance to MSU a student may declare any program in theNACOE regardless of their academic readiness. Both MSU and the NACOE recognize manycommunities in Montana have limited access to advanced coursework (e.g.: calculus, physics,computer science, etc.) anticipated for first year engineering or computing students.
