for the student’s program ofstudy as outlined in the semester-by-semester curriculum as displayed in the college catalog. Forthe STEM target areas, degree completion is outlined for five or six semesters of study. The USDepartment of Education Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) typicallyreports graduation rates for 150% of program length. If a four-semester program of study hasbeen established, IPEDS will report graduation rates for those who complete a degree in sixsemesters or 150% of the four semester plan.Since students who are awarded S-STEM scholarships are required to follow their program ofstudy outline, this often creates another barrier: the need to attend college during the summer inorder to graduate on time

nation’s historicalpreeminence in science and technology1. The California Community College System, with its112 community colleges enrolling approximately over two million students—representing over25 percent of the nation’s community college student population—is in a prime position to growthe future STEM workforce2. However, with shrinking resources and the increasing cost ofeducation, an effective approach is to “more fully exploit the advanced information technologycapabilities that science and engineering have produced, which have proven to be valuable inreducing costs and improving productivity in manufacturing and private sector businesses”3.Over the past decade, interest in online education has been increasing due to wider acceptance ofits

While ethics isa “value added” to classes, subtle personal development may also occur. The world seen throughan ethics prism is a different place. In my own case, I heard a presentation by Roger Boisjoly, anengineer from Morton Thiokol and one of three whistleblowers in the Challenger disaster, at the1988 ASEE conference in Portland just two short years after Challenger and the ensuinginvestigation. His presentation was so touching that I spent days afterwards thinking about it.
