AC 2012-5345: LEVERAGING S-STEM SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMSDr. Mary R. Anderson-Rowland, Arizona State University Mary Anderson-Rowland is the PI of an NSF STEP grant to work with five non-metropolitan community colleges to produce more engineers, especially female and underrepresented minority engineers. She also directs two academic scholarship programs, including one for transfer students. An Associate Profes- sor in computing, informatics, and systems design engineering, she was the Associate Dean of Student Affairs in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at ASU from 1993-2004. Anderson-Rowland was named a top 5% teacher in the Fulton Schools of Engineering for 2009-10. She received the WEPAN Engineering

participant connected via a videoconferencing program such asSkype.Student FeedbackAnonymous feedback from students was solicited using an online survey. Questions includedone demographic question (year in school), 19 Likert-scale questions and 4 open endedquestions. The Likert questions and their responses are shown in Table 1. Reverse coding wasnot used in order to be consistent with past uses of the survey. The survey was voluntary so outof 31 possible students, 14 responded.The responses to Q1 – Q5 presented in Table 1 indicate the student’s feelings of being connectedto peers and faculty. Overall the student responses indicate a more secure feeling of connectionwith the S-STEM program faculty than within their individual academic programs (Q1

to 72 upper division and graduate students. The upper division students were all non-transfer students, while the graduate students (after the first year) were both transfer students andnon-transfer students who had graduated from an upper division S-STEM grant. The programwas designed to especially encourage females and under-represented minority students to studyengineering and computer science. Over 65% (47/72) of the students were either female orminority students.The students in this program entered in four ways: through a lower-division NSF S-STEMprogram, as a new upper division applicant to this program, as a qualified graduate student whohad just graduated from this program as an undergraduate, and as a qualified graduate studentwho

In collaboration with the College’sMathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program – an academic, personal,and professional support structure has been designed and implemented to maximize thelikelihood of success of these students. This support structure aims to create a learningcommunity among the scholars through a combination of academic counseling and mentoring,personal enrichment and professional development opportunities

Identifying Critical QuestionsThe authors have been working with engineering students for over 10 years through the NSF S-STEM Scholarship Programs. As a part of this program, an Academic Success Class is held andthrough this class the authors have been asked many questions. Some questions come through Page 25.367.4evaluations of the meeting in answer to the question. “Are there topics about which you want toknow more?” Some questions come through emails from the student

There are over 4,400 undergraduates and 2,100 graduate students inengineering and computer science. In this paper, “engineering” includes computer science, butnot construction.In Fall 2010, ASU had three NSF grants which supported transfer upper division and graduatestudents. The primary scholarship funding for transfer students was an NSF S-STEM grant(#0728695) called CIRC/METS (Collaborative Interdisciplinary ResearchCommunity/Motivated Engineering Transfer Students) for 2008-2012. If transfer students in thisCIRC/METS Program graduated and continued on to graduate school full-time right aftergraduating, they could receive a scholarship
