grant, we were able to create and implement two credit-baring (but usuallynot degree applicable) “success courses” with students from underrepresented groups, first-generation students, and low socio-economic students in mind (although the course was open toeveryone). The ENGR 101 – Engineering Student Success course was a mechanism to create asense of community among first-time freshmen who might feel isolated on our campus, whilealso creating an environment of support by the university and developing the engineering studentidentity8. While the PEEPS students were required to take the course, other students wereencouraged to enroll. However, we ran into an unexpected challenge in reaching students thatcould benefit from the course in the

He received a B.S. from Tuskegee University and a M.S. from Michigan State University, both in Mechanical Engineer- ing. His research interest is exploring formal and informal K-12 engineering education learning contexts. Specifically, he is interested in how the engineering design process can be used to emphasize the hu- manistic side of engineering and investigating how engineering habits of mind can enhance pre-college students’ learning abilities.Mrs. Kayla Renee Maxey
