Engineering Education, 2019 Reflections on Eight Years of Undergraduate Research at Our Community CollegeAbstractSince 2010, San Antonio College (SAC) has been the center of a continuously increasing familyof undergraduate research projects hosted by Texas’ first Math, Engineering, and ScienceAchievement (MESA) Center. A paper presented at the 2012 ASEE Conference in San Antoniodescribed the start of this program at this community college. It has been widely reported thatundergraduate research programs at four-year institutions increase retention, improve students’success, and produce higher quality graduates. Results demonstrate that two-year institutions canalso initiate and maintain successful

Collaborative cultures tend to stem from encouragingcollaboration when carrying out daily operations [4], having few restrictions on usage byencouraging academic, extracurricular, and personal projects [2], and having activities thatencourage people to work together [8]. Scheduled activities such as training, workshops, andsocial events also encourages students to interact with each other outside of collaborativeprojects, which may strengthen the sense of community [2] [7]. It is these types of activities,especially workshops and social events that have been found to be effective in creating a linkwith community colleges and recruiting their students [8].If the primary intent is also to simply increase the usage of
