Mathematics Department was formed in 2002, and it is akey component of our active mathematics learning community. Currently it has 130 activestudent members, and that number is roughly half of the number of UTA mathematics majors.The average number of the SURGE scholars has been 20, which is about 7% of all UTAmathematics majors and about 15% of the MAA Chapter members. All of our SURGE scholarsare very active in the MAA Student Chapter, and they hold key leadership positions there.Over the last ten years, our MAA Chapter has become a great venue for mathematics majors tointeract with faculty, build a peer support network, develop study skills, enhance professionaldevelopment, perform community services, organize social activities, gain leadership

community colleges holds great potential in contributingto the desired diversification of the engineering workforce[1]. However, transfer studentscommonly experience a “transfer shock” when transitioning from community colleges to four-year bachelor-degree awarding institutions. They need to learn to navigate a new environment[2] and often struggle to gain access to departments, people and guidance to help them with thistransition [3,4]. Due to the fact that they are also joining already existing social networks, theyoften also experience a lack of personal relationships with faculty and a lack of social integrationinto their peer group [3,4]. All these extra challenges can affect their academic achievement,retention, and degree attainment

Strategies for creating a welcoming and inclusive climate within the academic settinginclude: 1) directing student-peer interactions; 2) broadening the scope of early course work; and3) providing students with authentic learning experiences.Reshaping Engineering Classroom NormsAt the heart of student identity formation is students’ sense of belonging.

A special challenge for developing this new Introduction toEngineering course is that the state legislature implemented a law2 that limits the number ofhours that can be required for a college degree.

First, to test whether later-testing students did better thantheir peers, the correlation between exam scores and the order in which the students took theexam (hereafter, exam order) was determined. The exam order was recorded for 9 out of the 15years in this study. A typical profile is shown in Figure 6 for 2016. In all nine years, the 95%confidence interval (CI) for the slope of score versus exam order included zero.Second, a measure was calculated to see if students performed better on the oral exam thanexpected. This measure was Δ(rank) = rank in the course – rank on the oral exam. (The rank inthe course includes the oral exam.) The Δ(rank) values are plotted versus exam order in Figure 5for
