First and second year studentswere targeted for this research program because over 70% of the STEM students who leaveCSUB without a degree leave in the first two years. The first two years are a critical interventionperiod for promoting success and retention.In [3], we described the first two years of the program and presented preliminary results withrespects to attitudes and awareness, along with one-year retention data. In this paper, we look atthe full four years of the program to analyze multi-year retention rates, the survey and interviewdata collected during the program, and the follow-up surveys

Together, we created a summer program where asmall cohort of students and teachers had an opportunity to do six weeks of cutting-edge researchat CISTAR followed by an opportunity to “give back” by mentoring kids in engineering andscience for four weeks at NSBE SEEK.We hope to engender more interest in combined programs by describing initial survey evidenceof the program’s success and consistent-with-research, built-in design elements that contributedto that success.

As such, technical issues related to ensuring innovative pedagogies thattrain and support STEM students have escalated, such as the integration of STEM coursespositioned in upper and lower divisions to benefit student learning and training [3]. However,student engagement suffers from the challenges associated with such logistics, which is alsoevident from the lower number of STEM graduates in recent years [4]. Therefore, it has becomecritical to address student engagement by integrating real-world contexts to develop morechallenging examples that relate their coursework to real-life experiences [5].

This paper discusses and examines a novel pre-college STEM interventionthat occurs at a technical engineering research conference. The intervention consists of a mini-workshop that has six components: (1) an introduction of graduate student mentors, (2) a generalintroduction to the engineering field of Smart Material and Structures through a PowerPointpresentation and live demonstrations of smart materials, (3) a low-cost design and buildengineering activity that uses smart materials to demonstrate the applicability of the field
