This GPA wasbased on the grades obtained in the prerequisite coursework (i.e., calculus 2, calculus 3, ordinarydifferential equations, statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics), which were gathered via ademographics survey. The demographics survey was also used to gather gender, ethnicity, PellGrant status, and transfer information (i.e., transfer into the engineering program) to enablestratified analyses.Given the small sample sizes associated with some of the demographic strata, the nonparametricversion of ANCOVA - Quade’s test - was also run (Quade, 1967; Lawson, 1983).

But first, however, the team had to determine howbest to develop and implement a manageable, multi-level self-study that could offer meaningfulinsights into the complexity of barriers to STEM student success—and then begin to proposemeaningful solutions. This paper describes how a diverse campus team designed andimplemented such a self-study, and how a similar approach can be adapted for use at otherinstitutions of higher learning seeking to improve STEM student success, including studentsenrolled in computer science and engineering. The work described here is part of a larger studythat is ongoing. Subsequent stages of the study involve deeper analysis of the data, especiallywithin each of the
