elements of the Engineering GoldShirt Summer Bridge Programwere redesigned to transition students to college and to transform their levels of expertisethrough engineering skill-development workshops, spatial visualization and engineering designproject integration, and mathematics and physics curriculum collaboration. Developing earlypartnerships with skilled professionals and faculty fostered a collaborative approach toimplementing an integrated summer bridge program.In addition to classes, introducing these scholars to industry professionals and researchopportunities during summer bridge supported an increase in their engineering expertise.Industry tours and research presentations were expanded to multiple companies and multiplefaculty

4- and 5- year engineering programs. Standardized test scores are used by most competitive engineering programs as a primary criterion for admission. The average ACT Math score in 2017 was 20.7 with most engineering programs having an engineering score in the mid-high 20s. In order to broaden participation for historically underrepresented minorities in engineering, we must increase early preparation in developing in math proficiency. To address this challenge, the Algebra by the 7th Grade (Ab7G) program was created as an innovative mathematics and engineering enrichment program that teaches elementary age students and their parents how to advance their mathematics skills and engineering knowledge in an out-of-school setting
