The purpose of this paper is to present the progress onthe project supported by NSF award 2225247.The main objective of this project is to help freshman engineering students develop problem-solving skills that can be applied to their academic success. The college readiness, and hence theacademic success of incoming students at UTRGV College of Engineering and ComputerScience (CECS) needs to be improved. Statistics, shown in Table 1, indicate low levels ofretention and graduation rates particularly for CECS.Table 1.

Questionnaire data from 314undergraduate engineering students at a small private university were used for psychometricanalysis. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a six-factor structure. Three factors relate tostudents’ attitudes: (1) academic self-confidence and self-efficacy; (2) sense of belonging inengineering; and (3) attitudes toward persisting and succeeding in engineering. The other threefactors focus on: (4) students’ understanding of the broad nature of engineering; and how theyappreciate the importance of (5) non-technical and (6) technical skills in engineering

Higher Education.IntroductionThe NSF supported NYC Louis Stokes Alliance (NYC LSAMP) at CUNY has, since itsinception in November 1992, been at the forefront of a concentrated effort to substantiallyincrease the number of underrepresented minority students (African-Americans, Hispanics,Native Americans and Native Pacific Islanders), who pursue and graduate with BaccalaureateDegrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Since inception inNovember 1992 (through 2018), over 18,000 baccalaureate degrees have been awarded tounderrepresented minority students in CUNY.

These individuals sufferfrom reduced retention rates and longer timeline to graduation [2, 3, 4, 5]. Non-traditional studentsoften use non-curricular work to finance their education. This employment is most often temporarynon-STEM jobs [6]. Working less than 15 hours per week can be beneficial to an educationalprogram [7]. Non-traditional students often work at least 20-40 hours per week. The same reportidentifies these longer work hours as a risk for academic success.

harrowing for gender minority (GM, e.g.,transgender, gender nonbinary) students [1]–[8]. The STEM climate is important to address dueto its likely impact on the lower persistence of sexual and gender minority (SGM) students [9]–[12]. Professional STEM societies provide students with a range of resources that help thempersist in STEM [13]. Specific societies created to serve LGBTQIA+ STEM students, such asoSTEM, have been shown to help students manage their identities in STEM in the face ofunwelcoming STEM climates. At the same time, these societies may offer less professional andacademic resources and prioritize identity management [4], [14], [15].

In PBL, students work collaboratively or individually toaccomplish the project tasks that require content knowledge and skills and produce a product toshow their knowledge of the content [2]. The assignments in PBL require students to acquire andapply information, concepts, and principles and they have the potential to improve students’competence in thinking (learning and metacognition) [3]. Moreover, working on real-worldprojects helps students realize the impact of those projects, which in turn, gives them a sense ofagency and

IntroductionThe field of computer science (CS) has grown rapidly in recent years. Despite this progress,disparities in the industry persist, particularly for individuals from underrepresented groups. Forinstance, black women, who pursue CS as a career choice, experience significantunderrepresentation in the field. This underrepresentation is also reflected in the percentages ofblack women who are awarded Bachelor’s, Master’s, or their Doctorate in CS and related fields[12]. By examining challenges faced by

The easy access to solution manuals, on-line tutoringservices, spending little time in reading the textbook, not reviewing the textbook exampleproblems, being absent in lectures, not solving homework problems, and grade inflation have beenthe contributing factors to gradual decline in student learning.

Furthermore, only 6.5% of these degrees were awarded to Black students, and12.3% were awarded to Hispanic students. An increase in citations and publications citing theterm “STEM Outreach” (Figure 1) is evidence of interest in outreach within academia. Asoutreach programs are further developed for the purpose of early engagement for students fromgroups underrepresented in engineering, it is important for researchers to understand how toadapt research to outreach for students to create positive learning experiences.Figure 1.
