They are residentialprograms that take place the summer before matriculating STEM students begin college and aredesigned for students who have been identified as relatively underprepared for STEMcoursework, often female and/or underrepresented minority students in particular [5]. A primarygoal of STEM bridge programs is to increase the number of students who have access to a strongSTEM foundation by increasing students’ STEM knowledge and exposure to STEM content [6].Bridge

Prior studies show a positive relationship between interest in a subject and persistencefor science and engineering majors.4,5 Furthermore, lack of commitment to a career inengineering may be key to explaining non-persistence.6 It is not surprising, then, that studentsreported that having a choice of which Elective Unit to study had a positive impact on theirlearning. Four of the six Units clearly increased the number of students strongly interested in thetopic they chose (see Table IV), which suggests reinforcement of the students’ choices and thismay be related to why students also report an increased commitment to engineering (Table II).One very important consideration in offering these Elective Units as

Moreover, we use peer mentors to connect students to campusresources as well as to one another. Peer mentoring is regarded as a successful intervention toaddress issues of student retention in academic programs12.

Engineering education allowsstudents to authentically apply content related to real-world phenomena so they can understandhow the intertwined nature of science and engineering addresses the community and globalissues they are facing today. Engineering education better prepares students to think critically,make decisions, and pursue STEM careers and educational trajectories. Yet many teachers,particularly in elementary grades, lack sufficient professional development and self-efficacy toinclude engineering in their curricula and embed it in meaningful ways that connect to students’lives and communities. This phenomenon is augmented along gender, geographic, andsocioeconomic lines [10-13
