and Engineering (CSE) is comprised primarily of undergraduateprograms, which are the focus of this study. We examine data on undergraduate students who wereenrolled in the CSE’s engineering programs (comprised of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical& Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science) for any part of their time atSeattle University. We present results identifying barriers to students’ successfully completing degreesin these programs, including examining the impacts of transfer versus first-time-in-college status,students’ prior mathematics and science background, and pressures related to differing levels of unmetfinancial need.These findings will be used to inform the development of new policies

enhance their agency and empower students to connect to resources.Although subtle, a programmatic attention to student agency may mean the difference betweenprograms creating “students who need help” versus “students who are empowered to transformoppressive systems.” In our own experience of facilitating groups of underrepresented students[26] as researchers of their own experiences [27] we observed students' passionate desire to notonly understand their own experiences of marginalization in community with their peers, but alsoto direct the insights gained about mechanism of oppression towards institutional change.IV.B.

in a review of the literature on stereotype threat in academic settings. Stereotype threatrefers to being at risk of confirming, as a self-characteristic, negative stereotypes about one’s socialgroup (Steele and Aronson, 1995). Mechanisms involved in stereotype threat include reducedworking memory capacity, changes in physiological processes, lowered performance expectations,negative cognitions, and anxiety. Research suggests stereotype threat can be disruptive enough toimpair intellectual performance for students, particularly in undergraduate STEM programs.Although research on the link between stereotype threat and STEM program outcomes is relativelynew, initiatives have been implemented in a variety of post-secondary education settings

students’ favorite activity and can increase their interest to learn.In both the lecturing and in-class activities, the strategy “think-pair-share” was used to promotestudents’ enthusiasm and learning. At the end of each class, an individual quiz was normally carried outto test students’ learning outcome. The instructor revealed answers right after the quiz to give studentsreal-time feedback. On top of all these, homework was assigned on a weekly basis with 3-5 questions.Preliminary FindingsThe Fall 2017 FYrE cohort included 55 students students from Civil, Mechanical and ElectricalEngineering and Computer Science, who were divided into two sections. All the materials used were thesame for both of the sections. Aligned with what has been reported
