These universities encounter similar challenges in first-year retention and graduationrates, especially in the STEM disciplines. As they strive to improve the first year engineeringand/or mathematics student experience at their campuses, they have engaged in differentapproaches; including Peer Led Team Learning (PLTL), formation of an Engineering LearningCommunity (ELC), and engaging students in outreach as STEM Ambassadors. Incorporatingthese individual strengths with new activities that will be shared across institutions, the team iscurrently embarking on a multi-year research project to uncover how students develop STEMidentity in an urban context, identify
