University (WVU) is a cohort-based integrated Engineering Bridge Program designed for non-calculus ready first-yearengineering students. During COVID times, AcES encountered challenges in recruitingunderrepresented students. We realized that the recruitment method needed to be modified toattract them. After applying new recruitment methods for 3 weeks, AcES participants werediversified, resulting in 30% female, 20% underrepresented minorities, 30% low-income, and20% first-generation in the cohort. Our research aims to (1) analyze AcES enrollment data beforeand after applying the new recruitment strategy, (2) conduct surveys to understand theeffectiveness of different recruitment methods in diversifying the cohort, and (3) devise a plan toimprove

Methods Explored – An ExampleThe standard procedure to implement project-based learning is to provide a complex question for an extendedperiod of time and allow the students to investigate an appropriate and meaningful solution, whilesimultaneously learning the tools needed [in their regular coursework] to arrive at the solution. I chose thefollowing problem for a freshman engineering course based on basics of programming languages.

Managing deficit thinking which holds students accountablefor missing elements impacting academic preparation can control bias and break stereotypes[31]–[33]. New perspectives in viewing AUP student perceptions can lead to warm welcomesmatching extended invitations. This could look like creating flowcharts with different math andscience starting points or comprehensive programs which include specialized advising andengagement spaces. IV. Conclusion The transition into an engineering or computing major over the first year of college is acomplex problem with many moving parts. To help

engineering programs,here we will focus on performance, i.e. student learning. The introduction of first-year seminars,online success programs, etc., have become ubiquitous throughout engineering education.Ironically, even with the introduction of intervention methods, the overall 6-year graduation ratehas remained at ~60% for the past several decades.[8] While many studies show positive resultsfor many of these programs, the question remains: Is there more we can do, or perhaps a betterquestion is what could we do differently.In this work, we look at two primary areas designed to improve student success: 1) stand-alonesuccess courses whether in person or online and 2) faculty teaching discipline related courses.By definition, success courses

There are also benefits to interactivelyforming design groups through online platforms. Engineering design is an integral component ofmany first-year engineering programs [10].
