goal of increasing retention in mind. Both programs have provided strong evidence insupport of “capturing” engineering students during their first two years by infusing elements ofthe discipline as early as possible into the undergraduate curriculum and thus minting theiridentity as engineers when they are freshmen. STEPUP extends this concept further byproviding a strong community of support of underrepresented students throughout their entirestay in the university and, as a result, aiding them in learning how to break down barriers ofculture that undeniably still exist for them.References[1] National Science Foundation.
