Only 28% of respondentscame from universities with a formal, defined leadership program for engineering students whileonly 6% of respondents from schools without such a program knew of plans to start one.Respondents represented more than 13 different engineering disciplines with the heaviestrepresentation coming from Civil (38%) and Engineering Technology (17%).

Balancing support activities fordirect or indirect learning support proved to be a wise option. According to the authors’perception, the most successful results are related to students’ motivation and commitment inPhysics class. Students’ commitment must always be encouraged, throughout the academic year.Implementing similar activities in others schools will demand planning efforts and commitmentfrom teachers’ teams.References[1] CUTRI, R.; STEM, N.; MATTASOGLIO NETO, O.; SILVA CAMPOS, L.

Research of thefirst three cohorts of ASCENT Scholars (22 students) have resulted in 52 presentations inregional and national conferences, and 3 publications. The experience they have with the Bridgeprogram helped them to focus their attention on research more than they had previously. Manyof them are likely to be engaged on research in some capacity after they graduate. Even thoughmost of them plan to go to graduate school at some point, many of them enter industry beforethat.
