students will enroll inthe same section of MATH 124 and PHYS 161 to preserve the cohort structure, and they willadditionally take a 2-credit seminar taught as part of the regular teaching load by a rotating groupof faculty. The theme underlying the seminar course is “socially responsible engineering”, andthe course will include reading and discussion on such topics as ethics, societal “grandchallenges” in engineering [10], and recent technological progress in addressing thosechallenges. Engineering topics with obvious societal benefits have been shown to improverecruitment and retention of traditionally underrepresented groups in engineering, such as women[11]. In addition, the seminar curriculum includes practice with spatial visualization, as

grade to advance in their studies. For those students,the bridge program successfully advanced their math education by at least a semester.From Figure 3, the results for the bridge program students in College Algebra are muchmore varied. First, it is clear that bridge program students who did not improve theiroriginal math placement tend to not get a grade of C or better in their first attempt inCollege Algebra, as over the four years only 1 of 7 students accomplished that. As such,there may be a problem with the work ethic of students who did not improve their mathplacement, or these students have fundamentally reached their mathematical abilities andcannot complete the work in Math 116 successfully.

The Engineer of 2020 survey asksstudents to provide self-ratings from 1 (Weak/None) to 5 (Excellent) for the following fouritems: 1) Knowledge of contexts (social, political, economic, cultural, environmental, ethical, etc.) that might affect the solution to an engineering problem; 2) Knowledge of the connections between technological solutions and their implications for the society or groups they are intended to benefit; 3) Ability to use what you know about different cultures, social values, or political systems in developing engineering solutions; and 4) Ability to recognize how different contexts can change a solution.

Our team explored a variety of approaches for recruitmentand found that using a third-party recruitment firm was the most expedient approach. For othersto follow this approach, however, they would need to work closely with their IRB to determinethe most appropriate and ethical process.

Stevedescribed that “people's lives were divided into two parts by the railroad; to the north of therailroad lived the Mexicans and Mexican Americans, and to the south were the Anglos.” Theeducational system was not appropriate at the time for Mexican and Mexican American studentsbecause it did not allow both languages, Spanish and English, to flow. Steve’s father passedaway when he was only six years old while still living in Mexico.

STEM students as well as the major barriers to STEM students’success. This study provided insight into the qualities of successful STEM students andidentified possible barriers that lead to attrition problems within the STEM field. One of themain findings for student success was that successful STEM students possessed several skillsthat were not necessarily discipline specific but were more general and applicable acrossdisciplines [6]. In general, these beneficial skills were personality trait related such as curiosity,inquisitiveness and strong work ethic [6]. Other domain-specific skills were also identified asinfluential to STEM student success, such as strong written and oral communication skills andstrong information synthesis skills [6

The students especially enjoyed discussion topics that were much different thannormal engineering classes. There was typically above average student participation in theseclasses.c. industrial internshipIndustrial internships can be a vital part of a student’s education.

Relationships Student-faculty relationships play a vital role in STEM retention. The scholarship in the fieldhas extensively documented the significance of student-faculty interactions as an important predictorfor success; however, we possess limited knowledge of the nature of student-faculty engagement forLatinx students in community colleges (Rodriguez et al., 2016). In fact, community colleges havebeen attributed as the most important avenue to transferring to 4-year institutions (Jackson et al.,2013). An important way to encourage the development of student-faculty relationships could bethrough mentoring. Student-faculty relationships aid students in different ways such as self-development, work ethic, and mentorship (Gandhi-Lee et al., 2015

study proposes severalavenues for additional research.Narratives of Required Enthusiasm In interviews, engineering professors said that they hire student lab workers who seementhusiastic [11]. For example, Kate explained her normal procedure for hiring anundergraduate: “Usually [undergrads] approach me, say, ‘I’m looking for some research to do,’and I show them around the lab, and if they seem excited about it then I’m more willing to takethem on.” Excitement is not sufficient for selection, because Kate also expects curiosity andacceptable grades, but it is a significant factor. This practice implies a belief that performedinterest correlates with motivation, work ethic, and even ability. Likewise, undergraduatesexplained to me that
inteams, and critically explore the ethics and values of their work; yet, the current curriculum ispopulated by traditional engineering courses that follow the typical formula of lectures, close-end homework problems, and exams. Pathways in and out of the program are also scarce,influenced primarily by an assortment of required courses that fill much of student check sheets.In our plan to enact change to diversify the ECE department in terms of student make-up andconcentrations to choose from, identifying critical points in the student’s trajectory towarddegree completion was made the first course of action.To adopt a frame through which we can examine the curriculum, the idea of threshold conceptsproved to be an attractive foundation for the
Engineering Curriculum Abstract In addition to providing the technical expertise required to solve 21st century problems, theengineers of 2020 will be expected to adapt to a continuously evolving environment while oper-ating outside the limits of their discipline and remaining ethically grounded. Their undergraduatetraining must therefore be designed to nurture engineers to transcend traditional disciplinaryboundaries, and to communicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries. One approach to this challenge is to incorporate biomimicry or bio-inspireddesign into the engineering curriculum. Our research aims to create instructional resources thatprovide exposure to the abundance of design examples that

interrelated. These blocks, which include design, analysis,ethics, and laboratory, serve to fragment rather than integrate the curriculum and therefore thelearning experience and preparation of engineering students. The curricula typically includemany levels of pre-requisites and require students fully understand theory before being permittedto practice application. Rather than necessarily informing each other, these insular blocks,typically taught by different entities within the university structure, serve as individualappendages between which the student must somehow identify connections. The authors argued“… the workload of science and math courses can be so overwhelming that students end uplosing interest in the profession for which they are
