Future work includes analyzing data between control and treatment groupsand across years. We also aim to grow the network of faculty who share these resources topromote more students to join the teaching profession and inspire young minds.AcknowledgementsThe authors thank Dr. Jared Breakall, the Mines chemistry course instructors, GFO presentationfacilitators, and research participants.

recruit first-generation students and their families for the 2022cohort and beyond.As a result of these efforts, the SD-FIRST program had 59 applicants during the first applicationcycle. As an NSF S-STEM award, the SD-FIRST program allowed for 15 scholars in the firstcohort and awarded $5,000 per year, renewable for 4 years, per scholar. During this time, theteam was able to work with the SD Mines Center for Alumni Relations and Advancement(CARA) to secure a donation to the school in the form of a gift of 10 additional scholarshippositions (a total of $5,000 per year, renewable for 4 years, for 10 scholars). With this generousdonation, the SD-FIRST program was able to award scholarships to 25 total students. All 59applications were reviewed by

A person who process data with their senses is referred to as a Sensors(S) and a person who sees where data is going in the future are called an iNtuitor (N). TheSensor versus iNtuitor category is an interesting area of study when it comes to engineeringeducation, because professors are historically intuitors while most engineering students aresensors49. The third category for MBTI preference describes the manner in which a personevaluates information. Those who tend to use a logical cause and effect strategy, Thinkers (T),differ from those who use a hierarchy based on values or the manner in which an idea iscommunicated, Feelers (F). The final
