-STEM Program at Purdue University Northwest (a unification of Purdue UniversityCalumet and Purdue University North Central) provided educational opportunities for financiallyneedy but academically talented STEM students. Services and activities were designed to: 1)improve the undergraduate educational experiences, 2) increase the number of studentscompleting the first stage of baccalaureate study, and those receiving degrees, and 3) increase thelikelihood that a Scholar will be employed or enrolled in a graduate program. Initially, 26students were chosen, divided between those in the beginning stages of a STEM major (15) andthose at the upper level (11). Additional Scholars were added as Scholars graduated or left, with59 total participants

American,and Pacific Islander engineering graduates remain significantly underrepresented in engineering[1]. Progress in increasing the retention and persistence of underrepresented populations inengineering degree programs and the engineering workforce has been slow [2]. Furthermore,even less progress has been made in diversifying the engineering workforce, with marginalchange in the proportion of underrepresented minority engineers in the workforce in recentdecades [3], [4]. To address problems of diversification and retention in the STEM workforce,we must explore potential mechanisms to support these aims.The transition from college to the workforce is a critical period for retaining a diverse STEMworkforce. Early retention in STEM careers is

As such, students may feel pressure to choose the‘right’ major early on.Research shows that the perceived fit of a student’s major is correlated with their self-efficacy 4 andthat interest/major fit is an important factor in major persistence 5 . Optimism with a major, closelyrelated to perceptions and confidence, has also been shown to predict satisfaction with a major 6 .Therefore, the magnitude of a student’s belief that they are in the right major, as well as theiroptimism toward that major

In this work-in-progress, we describe the design and implementation of a novel curriculum that allows earlyengineering students to explore the interplay of diversity and ethics in an engineering context.Importantly, our curriculum can be incorporated into any engineering course, and thus serves asa model for educators in any engineering discipline.This work-in-progress describes student response to three rounds of pilot efforts [4] and how weare developing and implementing the first

girls do not perform well on tests. In 2009, male high schoolgraduates had higher National Assessment of Educational Process (NAEP) mathematics andscience scores than their female counterparts, completing the same curriculum level [1]. Thismight be correlated with the Arizona State University’s finding that “the average male studentthinks he is smarter than 66 percent of the class, while the average female student thinks she issmarter than 54 percent of the class” [2]. Stoeger et al. reported that STEM interest is almostthree times higher for boys than girls. The same study reported that female students think thatSTEM is not appropriate for them due to a perceived disconnect between the “real world” andtheir assignments; therefore, the girls

Machine learning clustering techniques are a standard tool for identifying groups within data; however, two problems exist when trying to cluster survey data: (1) it is often not in a form easily interpreted by clustering algorithms and (2) survey data is frequently high dimensional, which standard clustering techniques cannot handle well. We describe a technique for converting survey data into machine interpretable feature vectors. We then propose analyzing the data using the 𝑛𝑛-TARP clustering technique which is capable of efficiently
