and EnvironmentalEngineering, 1947 12th North Street, PA 19122.AbstractThe retention of underrepresented minorities has been a major concern for many colleges in theUnited States (U.S.). A study conducted in 2020 shows that, in U.S. colleges, the gap in persistenceand retention rates between minority students and Caucasian students is likely as wide as 24%.Therefore, it is necessary to strategically bridge the afore-stated gap through strategicinterventions. This research proposal will begin by analyzing the first two years of engineeringcollege students’ education to identify key factors that are attritional to minority students’persistence and retention rates and will then suggest appropriate interventions that couldpotentially reduce the
