S-STEM project “HumanConnect” is aligned withthe Humanitarian Engineering Scholars (HES) program in the College of Engineering andsupports scholarships of up to 4 full years for academically talented students who demonstratefinancial need, enabling them to enter the STEM workforce or graduate school following STEMdegree completion. Our two main goals are to 1) Positively impact the retention and graduationof Engineering students with financial need and 2) Improve academic performance relative to acontrol group (selected from another scholars’ community, Green Engineering Scholars or GES).In the first year of the award (2013-14), scholarships were granted to a first cohort of 15 students(11 first year and 4 second year).

ofcognitive ideation. Instead, human designers must generate new objective spaces for AI to exploreand discover logical relationships between parameters that achieve the objectives. In this way, GDrequires inverse thinking from the objective space to the parameter space, while in TD, designersare required to cognitively explore the parameter space to optimize towards the objective(s).Aims and SignificanceDesign paradigms (e.g., TD / PD / GD) each require the human to carry out a unique set of tasks[1], [3], [6], [7], [9] which in turn define design thinking [8], [10], [11]. Thus, each paradigm isaccompanied by a unique design thinking concept. TD requires a designer to engage in traditionaldesign thinking (TDT), PD activates parametric design

One way to address this situation and secure thesuccess of transfer students is the creation of programs that provide institutionalized support totransfer students post-transfer. The NSF funded S-STEM scholarship programs are one exampleof such institutionalized support programs.They not only provide financial support to thestudents, but also have students engage in co-curriculum cohort activities including mentoring,academic advising, tutoring, social activities and career development activities [9].However, to develop the best support system possible, we need to have a clear understanding
