disabled students.To broaden participation and increase diversity in engineering and computing majors in 4-yearuniversities and colleges, bridge and success programs (also called intervention programs in someliterature) such as summer bridge, engineering scholar, and bootcamp have been used to supportstudents’ college transition and retention [1-8]. Some were initially created with federal fundingsupport from U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Engineering,Technology, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM) and Louis Stokes Alliances for MinorityParticipation Program (LSAMP) [9] and institutionalized later. Both S-STEM Scholars programand LSAMP Scholars program not only provide financial support to student participants but
