A paper presented at the 2012 ASEE Conference in San Antoniodescribed the start of this program at this community college. It has been widely reported thatundergraduate research programs at four-year institutions increase retention, improve students’success, and produce higher quality graduates. Results demonstrate that two-year institutions canalso initiate and maintain successful

During her postdoc at New York University and at Caltech, she co-developed a very effective level-set method for computing multi-phase flows, which has generated a lot of excitements in the computational fluid dynamics com- munity. Besides teaching mathematics at Pasadena City College, she has devoted herself to developing effective teaching and learning strategies.Encouraging students to showcase their STEM learning with real life applications, she has initiated and led the annual Pi Day Student Conferences at Pasadena City College since 2013.

lower retention rate of transfer students to Hill’s[6] term “transfer shock” which is characterized by a dip in a student’s grade point average(GPA) during his or her initial semesters at a new school. Although GPAs tend to rebound insubsequent semesters, not all students persevere in engineering to see this happen. To combatthese alarming trends, researchers and educators have been searching for ways to help studentsfind success and stay in engineering, no matter their college enrollment path.A recommended approach to increasing student retention is through more academic and socialengagement [7, 8, 9]. A key factor for success is increased student-faculty interactions. In fact,Astin [7] claims “students who interact frequently with faculty

Theytold me how to register and which faculty were best at explaining things and most supportive.Also, I already knew some faculty from the research lab.” This student appears to have had littleto no “transfer shock”, as result of participating in the ASPIRES program and continuedundergraduate study at SFSU.One student noted that his mentor was a UC Merced graduate student and that they stayed incontact after he concluded his 2016 internship.

Because there is very little published regarding operating amakerspace, initially focusing on best practices is a good start for research into operation.

Because attrition is most likely in the first year of college, it is especially importantthat students’ needs be met during this initial phase.
