Engineering Launch aims to improvestudents’ math preparation in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Trigonometry, and bridge theperceived gaps in math preparation to get students ready for Calculus I.Many universities around the country have implemented similar remedial programs. There aretwo common approaches. One is a workshop-style course, which typically requires weekly classtime in addition to regular lectures [1]. The other one, which is a more common approach, is tooffer a bridge course before the semester starts, with duration from one-week long [2] to severalweeks [3-5]. For example, Cancado, Reisel, and Walker [3] examined the impact of a 4-weeksummer residential bridge program on engineering student retention. Students with low

One areawhere this trend is especially prevalent is within engineering leadership. When you think ofBlack leaders, do any Black engineering leaders come to mind? There has been a recent uptick inCEOs with engineering backgrounds, such as Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Apple's Tim Cook, andAlphabet's Larry Page. In 2009, Ursula Burns became the first Black woman engineer CEO of aFortune 500 company when she took on the role with IBM.

ReflectionIn this work-in-progress paper, we suggest that the evaluation of undergraduate research experiences canbe adapted to serve as a useful tool for supporting student learning. Specifically, we argue thatundergraduate research can foster transformative learning, but one key element of this experientiallearning–reflection–can be difficult to integrate into the programs[1], [2]. Indeed, even for programs thatforeground experiential learning, such as service-learning and study abroad, it can be difficult to integratereflection effectively[3]. Yet the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Research Experience forUndergraduates (REU) programs do require a process that, surprisingly, could serve as a tool for doingthis work: program evaluation.
