Tacoma is the third largest city inthe state of Washington, yet until 2020 there was no public university mechanical engineering program inthe city. TCC faculty are focused on teaching, rather than research, and do not have the resources todevelop significant undergraduate research opportunities. Collaborating with a four year institution hasallowed students to participate in research between their sophomore and junior years, and we areexploring ways to bring research into the first and second years. Approximately 46% of TCC’s studentsare first generation

A key barrierto success in the STEM curriculum is very high rates of failure or withdrawal in introductorySTEM courses. Traditionally the format for instruction is lecture oriented, often in large lecturehalls not conducive to student interchange and discussion, so students work in isolation and areunable to engage in course discussion with peers outside of class [2], [5], [9], [10].

Finally, SV training through sketching has been identified asan effective method for increasing the number of women and other URMs in STEM [Hill et al.2010].
