academic plan for finishing theirbachelor’s degree, and almost all students (84%) had an academic plan at least for at least the firstyear of their major program. Most (77%) students have checked their academic plan with anadviser at UWT. The most commonly-cited reason for not checking in with an adviser was thatthe standard academic plan was already well mapped out. At least one respondent reportedgetting information about academic planning from peers instead of from an advisor.Next Steps and ConclusionsTo summarize, we seek to increase: a) knowledge of engineering programs and careers, b)successful outcomes for graduation and transfer, and c) a greater sense of belonging andcommunity for our underserved and low income students.
