Our program, The High Achievers in STEM(HAIS), utilized the concept of a learning community as the central nexus for providing servicesto students in order to recruit and retain students in five STEM degree programs. The HAISprogram was funded by a 5-year National Science Foundation S-STEM grant. A longitudinalmixed methods study took place from fall 2018 to spring 2023 to examine the effectiveness ofthe HAIS program. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which the S-STEMprogram met the following goals: 1. Increase opportunities for

university, and one that is admittedly privileged inmany respects. For example, the respondents indicated few if any issues of economic insecurityor technology access. Nor were the respondents likely to be academically precarious. Thestringent standards for continued enrollment in the engineering program might have put somestudents at risk for being asked to leave the program, but even in those cases, the student wouldtypically not be close to flunking out of college. These conditions of privilege are likely to havehad a significant effect on how these students chose to spend their time, as evinced by emergingstudies of the disproportionate effects of quarantine and other COVID-related conditions onwomen, adult students, LGBTQA+ students, and
circuits will serve as framework for future lab-based online courses. In this paper, our summer 2010 course implementation is thoroughly described. Problemswith technology and pedagogy used in the summer 2010 implementation of online electricalcircuits are examined and possible solutions are presented. These findings, along with previousstudies in online education, were used to develop a pedagogical framework for an online lab-based course. Plans for the summer 2011 online course and proposed pedagogical frameworkwill be introduced. 2.
