holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. Prior to beginning his doctoral studies, Hassan worked for five years at General Electric where he graduated from their Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) and then worked as a gas turbine fleet management engineer. In addition to his technical role, Hassan supported the recruiting, interview, and selection process of the EEDP Program, where he mentored interns, co-ops and Edison associates from the Middle East and Africa regions by developing and teaching a technical training cur- riculum, providing guidance for graduate school applications, and providing
efforts.IntroductionFinancial, physical, and human capital resources are used to provide additional efforts intendedto support undergraduate students in STEM, particularly underrepresented racial, ethnic, gendergroups in certain disciplines [1]-[3]. With U.S. demographic projections indicating a growth indiversity of the population, we can anticipate an increasingly diverse population ofundergraduate students. In preparation for this shift in demographics and in response to historicalissues of diversity in STEM, it is important that we begin to rethink our offerings of studentsupport.The larger project in which this paper is situated aims to help colleges improve their studentsupport investments by developing and testing the validity evidence for an instrument
and was assessed on a 47 point scale. Though the assessment is not used to determine scholars’ grades, the program reviewed scores and used these scores as a guide to determine physics placement. Scholars were placed in the Engineering Explorations through Physics course if they earned a score below 25;students who earned a score of 25 or above was placed into Physics 1, the first physicscourse in the engineering curriculum. Information about the design and analysis of thisEngineering Explorations through Physics course was described by Sullivan et al.[9].Scholars also took a chemistry assessment at the beginning of summer bridge todetermine their placement in the Introduction to Chemistry course or the GeneralChemistry for

Prior to this position, she was an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, where she was co-director of the interdisciplinary engineering education research Collaborative Lounge for Un- derstanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have
