The purpose of this report is to use the pre-college lived experiences of successful(academically identified) African American engineering students to understand how theacademic messages from prominent people in their lives shaped participant academic identitiesand interest in engineering. To develop this understanding, the study answers the following

expectation was supported in that the CBI class had a statistically significant highercourse grade than the non-CBI classes (e.g., 61.3% of the CBI students received either an A, B orC grade compared to 39.9% of non-CBI students). In addition, the CBI students tended to bemore willing to make use of the classroom resources (student assistants and posted notes) thanthe non-CBI group. As noted below, a more complete evaluation will be done over a largernumber of classes and a longer period of time.

potentialsin STEM fields. Analysis of mentee responses to the P.E.S. provided very promising evidence ofthe effectiveness of the DREAM program. Questions 10 and 12 on the P.E.S. ask, “How muchmath do you plan to take in high school,” and “How much physics do you plan to take in highschool,” respectively. In spring 2009, the number of mentees planning on taking a greaternumber of years of math and physics increased from the initial survey to the final survey, whilethe number planning on taking the minimum number of years of math and physics dropped. Thisdirectly shows that DREAM has been effective in stressing the importance of taking math andscience courses for success in higher education, specifically in the STEM fields.
