individuals. The aim of the present poster is toemphasize the importance of applying lean manufacturing principles in a program for supportingthe needs of underrepresented students and identifying potential beneficial outcomes. Thehypothesis being tested was that providing students with the opportunity to engage in hands-ondiscovery-based activities, offering experience in laboratory environments, allowing them toconduct undergraduate research, and offering mentorship as part of a community would helpstudents develop a strong self-identity in STEM and strengthening their self-efficacy, and hasadded value to students of different background. The results show improvements in recruitment,retention, and inclusion of students from underrepresented groups

only one semester. A goal is to expand to fall and springwith the same cohort of university students, but that seems to be a constraint as some studentscan only take the class one semester. Another challenge is when to start the engagement in theelementary school. The local school district has teaching time and materials requirements andaligning the best day for the outreach engagement can be a challenge. Working with the schoolson designated outreach days has been successful; however, the schedule may not always alignwith the university students’ schedules. Some of the more positive opportunities are to bringmore elementary students to campus to participate in hands-on learning at the design studio laband to visit research laboratories. This

Inparticular, this program is intended to serve non-traditional students such as veterans, thoseseeking retraining, and those who have attempted but never completed a post-secondary degree.Through our training, students will acquire useful, hands-on skills necessary for thebiomanufacturing industry. Based on interviews with industry partners, we identified that themajor area of need is in process control and engineering of downstream bioproduct separation.The principal aims of this work are summarized as: 1.

This domain is harder to study and quantify since it is moreabstract compared to the cognitive domain. Also, it can be hard to separate positive feelingstowards the information and process of learning of a concept versus positive feelings created bygenerally positive social interactions during certain activities, such as during a laboratory session.Thus, our research aims to find general trends based on students' experiences, perceptions, and/orthoughts towards engineering classes and
