We focused on three educational attainment outcomes in this study: earningno degree, earning a non-engineering bachelor’s degree, and earning an engineering bachelor’sdegree. Like enrollment outcomes, we calculated the percentage of students in each attainmentcategory through the lens of different characteristics of interest, including number of years spentat SU, race, gender, international status, starting community college, and year of exit.4.

Tina’s mentioned a computer science effort, “So we have several girls inour computer science classes too, so they're doing better advertising to the girls.” Suchcomparisons extended beyond internal programs to include those offered by local, externalcollaborators. Tina described a program offered by a nearby university, “Well, the [localuniversity] does a girls in engineering program that our girls get invited to every year. So that'sone thing that's been helping. We have a local engineering firm that also does a girls inengineering day for the last oh gosh probably 8 to 10 years.

Among 10 male students, only three (30%) reported financial hardship as a concern,and three females out of five (60%) explained their struggle with financial means. Having an off-campus, part-time job to support their own education posed a problem in their academic work.The college provides a variety of support programs for

One studentmentioned that before S-STEM, she had contemplated switching out of chemical engineering toa less intensive major that would allow her to work more hours. “Should I do something thattakes less years to complete, something that would get me to work faster?” But the scholarshipallowed her to stick with chemical engineering.
