His research focuses on understanding and improving underrepresented student retention and persistence in engineering. For his doctoral research, Dennis is leveraging emerging learning technolo- gies to broaden participation in engineering by exposing students to semiconductor fabrication processes. Much of his work involves designing and assessing interventions for extra- and co-curricular activities for students throughout the educational ecosystem. He is also a member of the ASEE CDEI Spotlight Team. Dennis holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering from The University of Alabama and a

Peer-led activities have been shown to create a sense of community and increase retention of minority students [18]. Building a supportive network can enhance the academic success of these students.The findings from these initiatives will be reported at a future ASEE conference.Work Cited[1] C. Botella, S.
