Are there unique opportunities/barriers/challenges related to STEM program development and grant-writing endeavors for advanced technological education? 2. How do we build capacity to pursue the opportunities and address the barriers/challenges? 3. How do mentoring efforts

Computer Science's focus is particularly noteworthy given its dramatic impact on allsegments of society, all industries, the economy, our national security, and the educationalcommunity. The growth in Information Technology (IT) and related computer industry is expectedto increase exponentially over the next decade. Given the fact that the medical and health careindustries will require innovative software packages to manage health care, the exponential growthof 25.6 % in the IT sector is expected from 2018 to 2028[1], [2]-[5].

However, community college students are at anacute disadvantage in terms of attaining undergraduate research experiences, which are often reservedfor elite students at baccalaureate universities [1, 2].

One study [1] compares full-time enrollment between Summer2019 and Summer 2020 and finds that there was a disproportionate decrease inenrollment for male and traditional-aged students, and a total of 57.7% percentagedecrease in engineering technology enrollment during this period. On the otherhand, another survey [2] showed that students were mostly enrolled in online andhybrid courses during the Fall of 2020, and the vast majority state that their coursesmet or exceeded their expectations. In addition, when asked which instructionalmethod they would prefer in the future, 25% chose traditional face-to-face classes,45% chose online classes, and 30% chose hybrid

the ESP is guided mentorship by community college facultymembers. During Year 1, the ESP took an unstructured approach to mentoring, allowing individualmentors to determine and apply their own mentoring strategies. Research and evaluation resultsindicated that faculty mentorship during Year 1 increased students’ belonging, helped themmanage and encouraged them to persist through personal and academic challenges, andempowered students to describe themselves as contributors to the STEM disciplines. Students alsoreported that mentoring could be improved through additional mentorship structure, increasedmeeting frequency, and strategic mentorship pairing.When the ESP sought to pivot towards a more formal mentorship approach for Year 2, ready

matching their areas of strength. It can be as discouraging as being told, “Womenare supposed to stay home and have children!” as experienced by one author. In the career ofnursing, it is often overlooked that the nature of such a career can be technically and emotionallychallenging. While human relations are a large part of the work, the technical aspects arefrequently overlooked. It is particularly interesting to note that 75% of the teachers inelementary and secondary schools are women [1]. Of course, the women teachers are typicallyonly teaching non-technical subjects. From this history of rhetoric, is it any surprise that wecontinue to have such a small number of women entering the world of engineering? There hasbeen a major effort in the

The Missing Third: The Vital Role of Two-Year Colleges in Shrinking Engineering Education DesertsIntroduction and BackgroundTwo-year colleges have been shown to provide educational, economic, and health benefits totheir surrounding communities. These colleges serve a critical role in post-secondary educationby providing transferable starting access to many four-year degree disciplines along with two-year degrees and certificates. Just under half of four-year degree graduates have transferred incourses from at least one two-year college [1], and one of the key factors for making thattransition successful is the connections students make with the faculty at their two-yearinstitutions [2].

preliminary findings from interviews with three Blackstudents who started their academic careers at several community colleges in a Mid-Atlanticstate before transferring to the flagship institution of that same state. Interview transcripts wereanalyzed and coded by different members of the research team to document rich themes. This research is part of a larger-scale, three-year, NSF-funded qualitative study, whichexamines the academic trajectories of two distinct groups of Black engineering majors: 1) Blacksborn and educated in the United States and 2) Those born and educated in other countries. Bylooking at these two communities, we will build upon past literature that disaggregates theexperiences of Black STEM students who represent multiple
