Althoughstrides have been made toward achieving gender equality, there remains a noticeable gap when itcomes to the representation of genders in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) fields – women constitute less than 30% of the graduates in these fields [2

curriculum.STEM career access is, in part, mediated by issues of equity that Blustein [1] categorize asstructural, psychological, and relational barriers. Specific barriers include factors likeinstitutional racism, and therefore a lack of role models for learners of marginalized racial,ethnic, and linguistic groups, and the unequal distribution of STEM resources. To promoteinterest and future choices around STEM careers, afterschool and other informal educationprograms have become key access points for students who may face greater challenges inentering STEM career pathways. Individual, environmental (including social), and behavioralfactors each interact in ways that can promote interest and access to STEM learning and careeropportunities or can limit

The importance of assessment tolearning is underscored by the recognition that it serves as a guiding force for both educators andstudents. The clear definition of learning objectives, as discussed in the literature [1-2], aidsinstructors in selecting appropriate course content, planning lectures, designing assignments, andwriting tests. The relevance of assessment to engineering education is further highlighted by therole of accreditation, particularly through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET).

While the Scholars have consistently reported the SPECTRA program’s main sellingpoint is its monetary value, other evidence indicates that transfer scholars in STEM often havemyriad unmet needs beyond financial assistance [1].
