. One ofthe Council’s recommendations to address this issue is to engage students with researchexperiences in the first two years. Recently there has also been an increasing awareness of theimportant role that community colleges play in educating STEM professionals, especially inbroadening participation among students from underrepresented groups. This paper presents theresults of a collaborative project between a small Hispanic-serving community college and a largeurban university to address the retention and completion problems among community collegestudents through a summer research internship program that provides opportunities for freshmenand sophomore community college students to participate in engineering research under thesupervision

This problem is commonlyidentified in surveys of employers, who express dissatisfaction with the writing skills of theirnew hires, and in survey of alumni from even strong engineering programs, who expressdissatisfaction with the writing preparation they received1,2.
