If students demonstrate interest earlier thantheir senior year, a faculty member at that institution will advise them as they select their computerscience and other courses to facilitate the transition or to increase the value of the MSCS to theircareer plans.

Students responded to 8 items, again using a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree; lower DoingEngineering scores indicate stronger and more frequent prior experiences with engineering. Inaddition to these measures, students completed a demographics survey in which they providedtheir age, gender, race/ethnicity, first generation status, and future plans for college. At the end ofthe academic year, all registered EPICS participants were sent the post-survey via an anonymousQualtrics link. The post-survey mirrored the pre-survey, but with the inclusion of open-endedquestions and the removal of the registration section. TABLE 1

In the firstyear of the award, there were only two students in the program and cohorting was achieved byregular meetings with the program director. In the subsequent years, the group has increased insize and more planned cohorting activities, both in-class and outside-the-class, were developed.To start with, the students were assigned the same academic advisor in order to select classesthey can take together. We will first briefly describe the general process of class selection forengineering freshmen and then the process used for the STEM students to build cohorts.

, 100% of the responding indicated they were extremely (94%) or somewhat (6%) satisfied with their overall experience in the S-STEM program. All students indicated their meetings with the S-STEM Student Success Coach were extremely or somewhat informative. Also, success rate of S-STEM students is higher than the other students in all STEM courses (e.g. calculus I, engineering statics, physics I). At the present, the actual impact of the Student Success Coach on academic success remains to be determined as incoming ACT scores indicate that the S-STEM cohort is academically better prepared. Further analysis is planned to investigate this. Additional updated and detailed information will be provided on our poster.Introduction
