thedefinition of a team and discuss the features of successful teams. Students often want to be inteams with peers they are comfortable working. In the real world, however, teams undergo the‘forming’ stage with members whose skills are necessary to complete the project [8]. Therefore,team members may not be familiar with each other. After getting to know each other, membersusually move to the ‘storming’ stage, where they engage in project work and challenge eachother’s boundaries and expectations [8]. At this stage, they start to understand each other bydiscovering their skills, weaknesses, and personalities. Teams can only move to the ‘norming’and ‘performing’ stages after successfully going through the ‘storming’ stage. [8]. However,student teams
NSF S-STEM Track 3: Scaling Up Student Success through Broadening Participation Beyond our S-STEM CohortIntroductionFirst year programs in engineering education are commonly used to help improve studentsuccess and retention at engineering colleges. Such attendant programs often involve studentinterventions such as learning communities, student mentoring, and bridge programs or bootcamps that provide external motivations and supplementary learning objectives aimed at helpingfirst year students in engineering succeed academically, [1]. Moreover, urban universities oftenhave student populations with a wide array of hurdles that impede their success in engineeringand STEM fields. Of these includes financial instabilities
learning goals for pre-college engineering are stillbeing contested. One argument, which is promoted in science standards, is that engineeringdesign provides an authentic context to apply science concepts [4] [5] [6]. However, others arguethat this represents too narrow a view of engineering and promotes misconceptions [7] [8]. Inresponse to these concerns, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) andAdvancing Excellence in P12 Engineering Education introduced a Framework for P-12Engineering Learning [9]. This framework outlines learning goals for engineering literacy thatmove beyond a narrow focus on practices, including engineering habits of mind and knowledge.In addition, the authors call for further research to scaffold learning
students’engagement and factors they consider when making engagement decisions through a compilationof survey items from multiple co-curricular engagement surveys and frameworks [12], [13], [18].In future work of this project, findings from the pilot survey will be used to prototype the co-curricular engagement guide. To further explore engagement decisions of the student population,stakeholder interviews will be conducted and inform iterations of the engagement guide, thusimproving its usability and potential adoption as a resource.Study Context. The student population studied is an undergraduate engineering population at amid-Atlantic research institution. Majors that students can enroll in include biomedicalengineering, chemical engineering, civil and

This means promoting identity development within and outside of the classroom byinvestigating the teaching and curriculum as well as advising and support changes needed to supportLatina students in these fields. In addition, this means empowering college leaders to act as catalysts ofchange and community building in order facilitate a multi-prong approach to enhancing engineering andcomputing identity development for Latina students.To fully embody this vision will

All of the students either agreed or strongly agreed that Connections washelpful in connecting them with other students and in connecting ideas from the first-year designcourse with life beyond the course. All of the students strongly agreed that the Connectionsexperience was valuable and worthwhile and that they would recommend it to future students.The responses to the open-ended questions indicate that participants in Connections valuedmeeting and discussing with other students who were going through a similar experience (thefirst-year design course and being first-year engineering students) but who could providedifferent perspectives. Many students also felt supported by the group. The

There is a law of diminishedreturns for Google searches, and, for practical reasons, we chose to limit our manual search to thefirst 100 articles from each keyword search, providing us a robust set of 900 articles to manuallyreview.

degree inengineering. Therefore, students who finished the pre-engineering program were highly likelyto persist to graduation. Although the results were encouraging, the analysis revealed that lessthan 1 in 4 FAMU students completed the pre-engineering program successfully. A deductioncan be made that completion of the pre-engineering program is a good predictor for persistenceto an engineering degree completion. Based on this information, it was determined that bysignificantly increasing the percentage of students who complete the pre-engineering program,there could be an increase in students that persist to graduation. The problem arose of how toincrease the number of black students that persist through the engineering curriculum.A recent
