career options, their knowledge about the higher educationneeded to support their career goals, and how to choose and apply to an appropriate college. Inparticular, prospective first generation college students from regions with low socioeconomicstatus (SES) often lack the knowledge of college-career connections and college applicationprocesses that is taken for granted by many non-first generation college-bound students who arenot low SES7. This knowledge gap may contribute to high numbers of high school students inthese regions saying they plan to attend college but not actually attending. The knowledge maybe particularly important for first generation college students wishing to enter science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers6

To address this situation, a SV&V coursecurriculum has been improved at the author’s institution through a project funded by a NationalScience Foundation –Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (NSF-TUES) grant.The goal of this project is to enhance and transform a SV&V course by incorporating academicresearch and industry best practices through an academia-industry partnership. This projectachieved the following objectives: 1. Critically examined the existing SV&V course contents, 2.Identified areas where improvements could be made in pedagogy, 3.
