might live around these systems and facilities and be impacted bytheir presence for decades. While these logics may have served the field for decades, we are ofthe view that moving forward, particularly in the nuclear (and other energy) field(s), these logicsare going to become increasingly impractical. This is because of the growing interest in smallerscale (eventually perhaps even personalized) energy systems sited in much greater proximity topeople and communities than have the systems of the past. As a result, there is a growing interestfrom communities that might host these systems to shape key decisions about how these systemsand facilities are designed. Despite this shift, students are given little to no formal training onhow to frame

may not be meeting those challenges.MethodsContext: This research was conducted at a single large research intensive (RH-VH) public universitylocated in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, as part of an NSF Funded S-STEM program. S-STEM programs are intended to support low-income students in their trajectories to and through school.While most funded SSTEM programs in the United States are aimed at undergraduate student support, thisSSTEM is unique in that it supports low income Master’s students to obtain thesis-based MS degrees.Students in the program are supported financially, have substantial professional development programming,regular mentorship meetings with faculty affiliated with the program, and peer/near-peer mentoring.

sequence. Again, forvarious reasons, students might be out of sequence, or received transfer credit for some of thesecourses. Since each course utilizes the M2K in different ways, it would have been interesting togroup the responses by course(s) taken; however, the sample size was already small so allresponses were considered as a single group regardless of course(s) taken. Figure 1. Circuits courses completed by survey respondents.Table 1 shows the types of activities for which students reported using the M2K. From this data,it is clear that the M2K is a valuable tool for completing in-class lab activities outside of classdue to inadequate time (100%) or absence (55%). Not all courses require post-lab exercises, soonly some of

Moreover, by 2020, a federal NSF S-STEM grant was acquired in addition toother industry partnerships that provided additional funding and the ability to ensure no studentshad to work outside of FAMU, which reduced students' financial needs and heavily increasedretention and average GPAs.E. ConclusionThe EESI program has varied over the years with the change of funding offered, which led to theability to meet goal (1) of the program. However, the core concept of incorporating experientiallearning with academic support has been the same to ensure that the seven (7) program goals aremet. The quantitative results in this study show that the EESI students are
