In Year 1, 42 students participated in the scholarship program at the three institutions (16 FIU;14 UCF; 11 USF).Rationale:The NSF considers areas such as Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity,and Quantum Computing as among the highest impact and growth fields going forward. Student demandfor computing programs is at an all-time high, including large numbers of students who change majors aftertheir freshman year (and would thus not be considered for scholarships that target first-year CS majors).Meanwhile, there is a significant shortage of both computing professionals and qualified faculty to teach atuniversities and a lag in computing graduation

A formal system like atranscript that tracks student-to-workforce development activities is recommended. Formal STEMpipelines are traditionally academic programs, formal industry internship programs, and on-campusresearch experiences. For example, participation can be tracked and used to identify if a studenthas ”leaked out” (i.e. no graduation, no work placement) of the pipeline. This one student is 100%of an entire demographic at the institution. Historically, the data sets have been limited to 1 or 2students of this demographic. In

The projects that they will face during both their academic andpost-academic careers will involve problem-solving and critical thinking, and the unique skillsand perspectives of each team member are necessary to arrive at effective solutions.

Calculusupon college entrance were significantly more likely to graduate with a degree in engineeringthan students who were not Calculus-eligible [15]. They also noted, however, that there could beother factors acting upon this relationship that could explain more of the variability in persistence[15]. These findings were further evaluated through a follow-up investigation in which Bowenand colleagues [9] explored the impact of Calculus-readiness upon engineering persistence todegree completion along with the potential mediating effect of students’ “at-risk” status. Theresearchers discovered that indeed Calculus-readiness upon college entrance was a significantpredictor of engineering degree completion and accounted for 11% of the overall variance
