Moreover, first-generation students weremore confident in their ability to prepare an application to graduate school. The results also showthat first-generation students had more significant gains than their non-first generation colleaguesin the following three critical areas: 1) first-generation college students felt they were given moreopportunities to interact with research scientists than non first-generation college students; 2) afterthe summer research program, they were more confident in their knowledge of research methodsthan their non first-generation counterparts

Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Research on Innovation and Creativity in Higher Education in Engineering and Science for Community Colleges: Student Strengths and ChallengesAbstractThere is a critical need for more students with engineering and science majors to enter into,persist, and graduate from postsecondary institutions. Increasing the diversity in engineering andscience is also a profound identified need. According to national statistics, the largest groups ofunderrepresented minority students in engineering and science attend United States public highereducation institutions and in particular the community colleges. Recent research has indicatedthat students from these populations who are strong problem solvers, and who
