BRIDGE solidified the fact that I am becoming an engineer and confidently as well.The second theme has been identified as Supportive program community and ties. Studentreflections within this theme attribute the increase in motivation to the supportive communitythey have developed ties with, and new relationships they created through Bridge. Examples ofparticipants’ quotes are: It provided me with a community that I did not have before coming to a college where I did not know anyone. I knew that Engineering was a challenging major and finding like- minded people has

in quite a short order of time, but also our generations of students have continually evolved over time demanding different needs and wants for defining success in pursuing an undergraduate degree in engineering. All of these issues, and more, are super critical to keep top of mind when addressing how to best improve undergraduate engineering RPG rates. In other words, there is certainly not a “one size fits all” solution to revolutionize RPG rates across the board. Applying a variety of best practices for improving RPG is undoubtedly a wise course of action where scholars and teachers learn new ways together to reach out and engage students better.[3] In addition, there are expressions of concern, skepticism, and even keen interest in how

don't know how to do it, figure it out. It’s not the end of the world if you mess up. And so, learning from the mistakes is what my professors taught me … they were tremendously helpful in establishing my mind as an engineer.In each case, it was the feedback from a faculty member that supported the students’ momentumforward. They internalized that support as recognition of their potential to be successful. Indeed,the power in the faculty role was described by Jake when he shared, “I was still kind of like onefoot out, one foot in, in terms of engineering. For a little while, one bad experience in a classcould make or break my decision to go for engineering.” It was the positive relationships withfaculty that helped him

engineers taught me that engineering is much deeper than piecing somethingtogether, but rather, it is applying math, science, and design to solve a problem. Originally, I wouldlook at the world with health science tunnel vision, only focusing on the physical wellness ofindividuals. However, the more I worked with my psychology and engineering peers, the more Irealized these other disciplines should, in fact, be recognized.As I come closer to entering the work force, I can say that through this interdisciplinary education, Iwill step into the world with an inclusive perspective. Thanks to this course, I now have a uniqueexperience under my belt, and an open mind to the disciplines around me.VJV Reflections (Psychology, Texas A&M University
