According to the U.S. Department of Labor, thesmall percentage of U.S. workers employed in fields related to science and engineering areresponsible for more than 50% of our sustained economic expansion [1]. To benefit our economyand society, our national priority should be on encouraging more students to study STEM.Unfortunately, the U.S. is trending in the opposite direction. In the early 1980’s, about 40 percentof the world’s scientists and engineers resided in the U.S. Today that number has shrunk to about15 percent [1].

Internal documents included ABET self-study reports for each of the three programs.

In addition,changes in a department can last well beyond the end of a grant. When interventions addressstudents directly, once they graduate there may be no lasting changes that result from theprogram. On the other hand, when faculty attitudes and mentoring practices change, the changescan last and continue to help students succeed long after the grant expires (robust design).In this paper, we describe the baseline surveys and the results from their administration

and the projectionsfor a scaled porting of the model to a campus-wide level.I. IntroductionEducational research has widely documented the achievement gap between students fromdifferent socioeconomic statuses (SES). The seminal work by Coleman et al. in 1966 sparked amyriad of studies and initiatives addressing this phenomenon with different views regardingrelation, incident factors, or effects [1][2][3][4]. Despite more than fifty years of documentedefforts, the prevalence of the gap, studied at national and global levels, continues to highlight theneed for renovated approaches [5][6]. At the college level, this gap manifests among studentsfrom lower SES with a higher attrition level, longer times to graduate, and significantly
