support.Introduction“There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom.” Richard Feynman (1960)Artificial intelligence (AI) methods are revolutionizing undergraduate science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education through early forecasting of end-of-semesteracademic performance [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. These methods typically leverage numeric features ofstudents’ academic trajectories to train AI models. The advent of Transformer-based [7] largelanguage models (LLMs) [8, 9, 10, 11] has significantly expanded the potential for cross-domainapplications due to their extensive knowledge bases [12, 13] and complex task-solvingcapabilities through basic reasoning [9, 14, 15] and planning [16]. Fine-tuning these LLMs viatransfer

: Supporting Community College Transfer Pathways and Access to High Impact Practices during Transfer TransitionAbstractWhile scholarships help reduce the financial burden of higher education, scholarships alone donot increase STEM bachelor degree completion by low-income academically talentedstudents. Developing strategies to support STEM transfer students is key [1], [2], [3] as isengaging students in high-impact practices such as internships and undergraduate research [4].We share approaches developed in our National Science Foundation Scholarships for Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (NSF S-STEM) program to support student successand to increase access to research and internship opportunities

LE data, typically gathered through self-reports, provides insightsinto students’ perceptions and emotions within educational settings [10]. However, the subjectivenature of self-reported data and its temporal variability introduce challenges in accuratelycapturing engagement dynamics, necessitating advanced NLP and time-series forecastingtechniques [6].
