Electrical and Electronics Engineers. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Engineering Student Success: Implications of Combined Scholarship, Academic, and Community Support InterventionsAbstractSTEM fields play an important role in providing job opportunities and improving economicgrowth. The United States suffers from a shortage of and lack of diversity in STEM workers,particularly in engineering. One way to alleviate these challenges is to encourage students tochoose engineering disciplines and support them as they progress through their engineeringprograms so that they develop a strong identity and sense of belonging in their chosen discipline.The University of Memphis (UofM) has been

This broad survey ofinstitutionalization plans complements an ongoing in-depth study of the impact of IGERT oninterdisciplinary activities at a few specific institutions.Introduction Innovation in graduate education is key to the preparation of tomorrow’s engineers,researchers and faculty1-3. Often, innovations are prompted or supported by outside sources offunding, such as grants and fellowships that allow for new systems or foci of research to beexplored4. The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), for example, supports severalinitiatives, including Integrative Graduate Research Education Traineeships (IGERT). IGERTmoney is used to support graduate student trainees in interdisciplinary research initiatives5.Specifically

The paper includesseveral samples of aggregate results demonstrating both the benefits and challenges of collectingsuch information.Based on the experience of the seven institution members of the Gateway Coalition forEngineering Education, we describe in detail the steps taken to define objectives and the metricsused to measure progress. The goals of the Coalition are derived from the common interests,vision, and expectations of the collective body of individual institutions and supported by thefacilitating role and influence of cross-coalition support functions, such as outcome assessmentand technology.

Introducing firstprinciples at a young age may help strengthen the long-term commitment to the field. The key tothe success of these outside organizations which mentor and teach students is the support fromthe public, private, and home school systems, as well as engineering firms and professionalorganizations.

Thisinadvertently leaves URM women’s experiences out of the conversation and potentially missesnew areas of research.Intersectionality is a necessary framework in engineering education because college campuses,and notably male-dominated fields, have long been presumed to have a “chilly climate” that isnot conducive to, and possibly hinders women’s learning [2]. However, underrepresentedidentities in engineering such as: women, minorities, members of the LGBTQ, people from low-income backgrounds, and disabled people, may experience compounding effects of this chillyclimate as they confront multiple systems of oppression simultaneously [3].
