IntroductionA recent report prepared by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology(PCAST) report, “Engage to Excel: Producing One Million Additional College Graduates withDegrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics,” indicates that the UnitedStates needs to produce one million additional STEM professionals in the next decade in order toretain its historical preeminence in science and technology. The report proposes that addressingthe retention problem in the first two years of college is the most promising and cost-effectivestrategy to address this need.1 The California Community College System, with its 112community colleges and 71 off-campus centers enrolling approximately 2.6 million
