To offer the local families an opportunityfor their children to attend camps and gather invaluable STEM-focused content and skills, it isimportant to obtain funding for camps to ensure students may attend. This paper will focus onthree camps: (1) Camp STEM, a camp open to any incoming 9-12th graders, (2) Gaining EarlyAwareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) in southern West Virginia(SWV) middle school STEM camp, and (3) a Health Science and Technology Academy (HSTA)Summer Institute for 10th graders.

experience also reinforced that accreditation is not about achievingperfection but about demonstrating a systematic approach to identifying challenges andimplementing effective solutions.CSULB’s experience serves as a roadmap for institutions navigating their own accreditationjourneys, particularly those with multidisciplinary programs like BME. By adopting bestpractices in assessment, curriculum alignment, and stakeholder involvement, engineeringprograms can create a strong foundation for future reaccreditations while ensuring graduates arewell-equipped to contribute to the evolving field of biomedical engineering.References[1] A.

A fully online asynchronous 14-weekcourse delivery schedule was found to be more effective, although this was not what was reportedduring the initial stakeholder surveys. Finally, the hiring of a single, well-qualified recruiter/advisorhas been valuable.

After reading S's application, I met with her to offer a co-lead position. I envisioned herleading DRG sessions and providing feedback on my curriculum development.

However, this plan evolved as the quarter and project began, particularly since I hadn'tfully developed the 12-week curriculum during winter break.

This study aims to identify the relationship between specific spaceenablers (and barriers) to reveal elements of a design that should be present (or absent) at varying stages.A challenge in designing this study is the tacit aspect of the space that may not necessarily be obvious toparticipants, which in itself could be a unique finding.
