Through an inclusive and long-range effort, the college identified a strong need forfinancial and comprehensive supports for STEM students. This project will offer financial,academic, and professional support to three two-year cohorts of students. The SEECRS projectaims to utilize a STEM-specific guided pathways approach to strengthen recruitment, retention,and matriculation of STEM students at the community college level.Scholarship recipients will be supported through participation in the SEECRS ScholarsAcademy, a multi-pronged approach to student support combining elements of communitybuilding, faculty mentorship, targeted advising

cognitive loading for engineering and technology students. A maximum workingmemory loading for a student can be assessed with a design that compartmentalizes the longterm memory, short term information storage memory, and short term working memory for themanipulation of information. Innovative learning examples such as kinematics with algebraiccomplex numbers, relative velocity matrix transformation from 1-Dim to 2-Dim with createdcollision parameters, and collision with apparent mass from spring energy were delivered tostudents while the working memory cognitive loadings were controlled. Our assessment showedthat a critical thinking element is only recognizable after a student could reach the workingmemory capacity required in the solving of a
