Guided by self-determination theory, an understanding of implicit biasand stereotype threat, and the large existing body of research on asset-based pedagogy, we seekto support engineering student outcomes by empowering faculty with tools and strategies toincorporate asset-based practices in their courses. We are engaged in a three-year project focusedon assessing the impact of asset-based practices in engineering design courses a large, public,land-grant, Hispanic-serving institution in the southwestern United States, funded by the NSFIUSE:EDU program.

With the increasing demand for spatiotemporal computing skills in the real-world jobmarket, project-driven internships have become an important source of work experience forstudents with interests concerning geographic information systems (GIS) and related geospatialtechnologies [2]. However, while GIS internships offer benefits to college students, rarely do 2-year college students being trained in this field, even rare to see such internships being evaluated,especially during the

Engineering Education1. IntroductionThis paper presents a description of the first year of implementation of the Iron Range Engineering STEMScholars, funded by the NSF S-STEM award (Award #2221441). The scholarship program includesfinancial support as well as additional mentorship support for scholarship recipients within the Iron RangeEngineering (IRE) program. IRE is an experienced-based, upper-division engineering program, in whichstudents recruited primarily from community colleges around the country, complete their 300 and400-level engineering courses for a B.S. in Engineering while completing co-ops or industry projects. Thepaper outlines first the format of the scholarship program and a summary of the first year ofimplementation, then a
