STEP Grant– Funded InitiativesIntro / AbstractThe NSF STEP grant program was initiated by the US Congress with the goal of implementingbest practices that would lead to an increase in the number of students obtaining STEM degreesat institutions with baccalaureate degree programs. Our university’s Colleges of Science andEngineering were fortunate to receive a STEP grant in 2009 to improve freshmen retention andgraduation rates by working on notoriously high-loss courses in chemistry and mathematics andfacilitating undergraduate research opportunities in science and engineering. This paperdescribes the path taken in the implementation of these plans, and a major shift wheninstitutional priorities necessitated a change in focus. After developing

Institutionalization is achieved when the universitymakes a “permanent” financial commitment (i.e. line item) to a project or some aspect thereof.”The authors go on to state the four key aspects of institutionalization as value, leadership,stability, and diffusion.

These high evaluations indicatedthat these faculty members had a good rapport with students and that students perceived them ascaring about their development, qualities that we felt were essential to the success of the redesignpilot.In creating Project SOAR, the CAT researched other similar initiatives around the country thatmight serve as models for our effort.

The lack of scholarship within and beyond the field of engineering education on the impactof research contributes to the lack of shared language around what research impact looks like inthis context—and a lack of productive conversations on how research can impact practice.
