©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Math to Makerspace: Evolution of a bridge program to support cohort developmentIntroductionThis paper shares the evolution of a summer bridge program designed to support NationalScience Foundation S-STEM scholarship students as they transition to college. The bridgeprogram, taught before the start of the fall quarter, is a week-long intensive course designed toprovide incoming first-year students with a strong and focused start to college life. The aim is toprovide a venue to help students socially and academically integrate into the campus community.Over the course of 4 years, the summer bridge program evolved from a lecture-heavy math-focused course to a project

To help all students develop the skills necessary to attract, retain,and consider the needs of diverse populations, engineering students need to consider socialresponsibility in the context of their engineering careers and scope of practice [6].To help promote engineering students’ ability to develop their social responsibility capacity, theUniversity of Massachusetts Lowell S-STEM program began with an initial plan to recruit threecohorts of 8 low-income, high-achieving students (24 students total) who wish to pursue a careerin higher education (e.g., faculty at community colleges or universities) and engage them inongoing social responsibility and identity formation curriculum.

Similar to the BME example, an engineering identity that values both social andtechnical dimensions presents more values and premises with which individuals can identify thusleading to more “whole-minded engineers.”Research & Development PlanThis NSF-funded RFE study utilizes a design thinking approach to develop solution(s) thataddress our three interrelated objectives: to better prepare engineers for today’s workforce, tobroaden understandings of engineering practice as both social and technical, and to createand sustain more diverse and inclusionary engineering programs.

Students accumulate transfer student capital, or knowledge about thetransfer process, at sending institutions (i.e., the place(s) where students begin their degreepaths), receiving institutions (i.e., the final degree-granting institution), and potentially from non-institutional sources. The development of transfer student capital may come from experiencesrelated to learning and study skills, course learning, perceptions of the transfer process, academicadvising and counseling, and experiences with faculty. Upon arriving at the receiving institution,students must adjust to the new environment academically, socially, and psychologically, all ofwhich may influence a variety of educational outcomes.
