this lack of representation in higher education engineeringprograms, the University of Lowell S-STEM program, funded by the NSF Scholarships inScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM), has the goal torecruit three cohorts of low-income, high-achieving students who wish to pursue a career inhigher education. The UML S-STEM program supports engineering scholars for four years,their last two years of undergraduate school and their first two years of graduate school. Thegoal of the program is to attract and retain diverse engineering S-STEM scholars and preparethem to enter the competitive pool of future faculty candidates. We present our successes and challenges in recruiting the first two cohorts of low-income

Long-term improvementsin the pipeline of a diverse STEM workforce start with sustaining effective bridge programs thatcan produce more Engineering baccalaureates. To improve retention in Engineering, this studywill conduct academic enrichment programs for racially underrepresented Engineering studentsat three points in their career at the Penn State—entering freshmen, rising sophomores, and risingjuniors. The goals of the study are to (a) increase retention in Engineering among raciallyunderrepresented students in the Penn State system, (b) develop long

The EAB Navigate platform was a pivotaltool in our efforts, intended to integrate student data for targeted support and interventions.Despite challenges, particularly with early detection and intervention for at-risk students, theproject has demonstrated the constructive role of technology when combined with thementorship from faculty and support staff. As we move to the final year of the project, we areexploring the potential of using Large Language Models (LLMs) which we view as a promisingavenue for
