, 2024AbstractThere is substantial opportunity for engineering graduates to enter the workforce to engage in afulfilling career and achieve social mobility. Still, there is a lack of adequate support forlow-income, academically talented students. The purpose of this poster is to describe theinterventions designed to support S-STEM scholarship students at Rowan University in the firstyear of our S-STEM project. Our S-STEM project objectives are threefold: 1) Providescholarships to encourage talented students with low incomes and demonstrated financial need toinitiate and graduate from engineering majors in the College of Engineering at Rowan Universityand subsequently enter the engineering workforce or a graduate program; 2) Develop a supportsystem that

As evidenced by their SAT Math achievement scores and high GPA’swhich prompted their admission, these students are smart. However, they received their STEMeducation in low performing urban and rural high schools and were raised in highly challengedunder-resourced neighborhoods. Research shows that these talented students succumb to theintensity of the 1st and 2nd year university math/science courses.

Introduction In January 2013, the California State University Board of Trustees mandated that, unless excepted, undergraduate degree programs, including engineering degrees, be limited to 120 units. Title 5 § 40508 [1] states that “[a]s of the fall term of the 2014-2015 academic year, no baccalaureate degree programs shall extend the unit requirement beyond 120 semester units…” This mandate and short timeline for implementation necessitated swift action for proposals to be submitted and approved via campus curriculum committees and

’ actual work has been found poor.15In light of these issues, many researchers have defined engineering retention as simply thenumber of engineering graduates who report being employed in an engineering occupation.16-21By this measure, as of 2008, an estimated 1.2 million out of 2.5 million individuals withengineering as their highest degree were retained in engineering.22 Nonetheless, an obviouslimitation of counting engineers in this way is that, unlike using degree-job relatedness, “it willnot capture individuals using S&E knowledge, sometimes extensively, under [other]occupational titles”.21 In other words, defining engineering based on occupational classificationdoes not capture the full range of career paths that engineers take.14,23

©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Math to Makerspace: Evolution of a bridge program to support cohort developmentIntroductionThis paper shares the evolution of a summer bridge program designed to support NationalScience Foundation S-STEM scholarship students as they transition to college. The bridgeprogram, taught before the start of the fall quarter, is a week-long intensive course designed toprovide incoming first-year students with a strong and focused start to college life. The aim is toprovide a venue to help students socially and academically integrate into the campus community.Over the course of 4 years, the summer bridge program evolved from a lecture-heavy math-focused course to a project
