The NSSE indicators include the following: higher-order learning; reflective and integrativelearning; learning strategies; quantitative reasoning; collaborative learning; discussions withdiverse others; student-faculty interaction; effective teaching practices; quality interactions; andsupportive environments. The definition of these predictors is presented in Table 1. Other factorsthat will be included as variables in the study are the pre-college preparedness of the students, suchas the raw ACT and SAT scores of participants, and the socio-economic status of participants uponentering engineering college. The socio-economic status by proxy will be measured by theparticipant parents’ levels of education. Four success workshops will be

We tracked patterns of coded languageuse [27] amongst selected teams, and did a deep analysis of how coded language increased inintensity across the term. We also assessed how minoritized teammates indicated warnings oftheir marginalization. We have reported some analysis from these data elsewhere [27], [28], [31].Finally, we conducted a diary study during spring 2022, much delayed from our originaltimeline. We conducted in-person initial interviews with diary participants who were recruitedbased on their self-indicated identities as someone from a historically excluded group inengineering, using the device of a career journey map to structure the conversation.

However, it contradicted the results of practice, since in 2021 and2022 AcES adopted both channels yet they did not yield the expected return. Upon reflection,AcES used Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts of the Engineering College and theFundamentals of Engineering Program (FEP), and local Facebook groups that have limitedstudent connections.

There is a disconnect between the timing of these courses and industryexpectations. More recently, faculty at Vanderbilt University piloted an open elective careerdevelopment course which was promoted to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors [6].

Viability leverages market analysis and valueproposition to determine the potential of a solution to make a long-term market impact.

The stated goal of the program was for 80% of the S-STEM Scholars tograduate with a STEM degree within four years. The 4-year graduation rates in STEM forCohorts 1 through 3 were 83%, 53%, and 84%, respectively. Program goals were met in two ofthe three years for which data is available. As mentioned above, the extent to which COVID-19had an impact on retention and graduation is unknown.Program sustainability is a significant challenge given that the scholarship funding covered fullcost of attendance for students, i.e. tuition, fees, books, housing, and meals.

Historical data indicates thatapproximately 170 students per year with a high school GPA of 3.00 or higher are admitted toExploratory Studies because they do not meet the College of Engineering admissions criteria. Ofthose, roughly 78 students remain at the University after one year. Of those 78, only about 45students per year transition to College of Engineering majors by the end of their first year, withthe majority of these students transferring to engineering technology majors.

Debugging refersto identifying and fixing errors in the algorithm, both during the development of the algorithmand when students attempt to transfer the algorithm to a new context. Iteration is the process ofrevisiting effective algorithms to improve their efficiency until an optimum state is reached.Generalization occurs when the algorithms and CT skills are transferred to effectively addressproblems in other domains. Because iteration and generalization require the problem context toallow sufficient time for reflection and modification of the solution

techniques. A few reasons could explain the results. One, as the students spend a disproportionateamount of time using analytical solutions, they are more likely to recall instances where theirknowledge was limited. Conversely, good programming technique is not utilized heavily in thecore curriculum, so they do not have the chance to continuously struggle with new material, andthus have an inflated sense of knowledge concerning the material. Another reason could be that,it is possible that the coding-heavy nature of the course enabled the students to remember goodprogramming practices, and this is reflected in the subsequent semesters.

Sacrifices on salary difference,driving distance, and driving time were given as response options with varying acceptance levels.The sacrifice levels are mapped to a 0-6 scale so that a maximum average score might reflect theirintention to sacrifice more for a renewable job option. The average score for this response is 3.67,indicating that they are willing to sacrifice their salary/driving distance/time to a reasonable extentfor a job in the renewable industry.

In light of recent concern over the ADRP as a means of disrupting minority marginalization in Engineering Education1 , we reflect on the origins of the program as well as how to proactively shift the program’s cultural context to one of greater criticality about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in engineering, broadly.
