few partners also provided academic year remote computational researchprojects. Students received support in preparing for and applying to these “internal” as well as“external” research opportunities (those not affiliated with MNT-CURN) from a team of near-peer mentors who had themselves started research in community college.Each cohort met online weekly with center staff to hear speakers from universities, projects, andnational labs talk about current research and opportunities for summer research related to microand nano technologies or participate in workshops on technical and professional developmentskills. Workshop topics included Python and MATLAB coding, writing a resume, establishing aLinkedIn presence, requesting a letter of

Their work culminates in a prototype demonstration and final report to documenttheir work for teams who will carry it forward in future terms.Course StructureThe ENGR 151 course is taught on an 11 week quarter system. It begins with a three weekintroduction to computer programming and microcontrollers. Class time is dominated by a seriesof lab activities. Each lab starts with one to three microcontroller circuit tutorials that integratenew programming and electronics concepts before students complete a mini-design challenge tointegrate new learning into a small design project implemented on their breadboard. This work iscomplemented by brief lectures and peer instruction using

For this review, the team bound the study and selection criteria to ensure that thescholarship included was relevant to the topical area rather than simply relying on theresearchers’ familiarity or agreement with the available scholarship. Exclusion criteria wereidentified to outline how researchers eliminated studies from consideration and defined thepurpose of the study (DePoy & Gitlin, 1994). For this study, inclusion and exclusion criteriaincluded: 1 1. The study was published between 2013 and 2023. 2. The study was peer-reviewed articles, book chapters

realm of artificial intelligence(AI) research. By focusing on the development and implementation of real-time computer visionon energy-efficient Cortex-M microprocessors, we offer a practical and educational avenue forstudents to delve into the burgeoning field of AI. Through a combination of theoreticalunderstanding and practical application, students are empowered to explore AI concepts, gainproficiency in low-power computing, and contribute to real-world AI projects. Furthermore, theproject offered student interns a valuable opportunity to refine their research capabilities,particularly in the realms of scientific writing and presentation, while simultaneously boostingtheir self-assurance and enthusiasm for pursuing STEM careers in the field

Theresearch project outcomes of the internship, as well as the external evaluation results, haveshown that the summer research internship program delivered its objectives to have studentinterns gain valuable engineering research experience, strengthened their confidence in problemsolving, and reinforced their interest in pursuing an engineering degree. Furthermore, theprogram improved the students’ technical skillset, team collaboration, time management, andcommunication skills.

In year one, Cohort Apiloted the PD modules in Tier 1 which featured reflective exercises and small culturallyresponsive activities to try with their STEM students. In year two, Cohort A piloted the PDmodules in Tier 2 and peer-mentored Cohort B as they piloted optimizations introduced to Tier 1from Cohort A feedback. Three types of optimizations came from faculty feedback. The firstconsidered feedback regarding delivery and/or nature of the content that influenced a subsequentmodule. The second involved making changes to a particular module before it was delivered toanother faculty cohort. The third takes into account what worked and what didn’t to decidewhich content to bring into

Program. Since 2012, the Mentor-Connect initiative has been funded by theNSF ATE Program to help two-year college technician educators and related STEM facultydevelop the grant-writing skills needed to meet NSF expectations and benefit from ATE funding.Over the past decade, 80% of Mentor-Connect participants have successfully submittedproposals. To date, the average funding rate for these proposals is 71%.This paper describes how the Mentor-Connect intervention works and for whom, what outcomeshave resulted for participants who become grantees, and how two-year colleges and technicianeducators can benefit.Funding Program HistoryThe Advanced Technological Education (ATE) funding program at the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) was created in 1992

interested in partnering with EngineeringMomentum to offer summer internships to both university students and early-stage communitycollege students interested in engineering.Engineering Momentum valued a collaboration with SPUR—benefitting from its expertise andtrack record of opening new pathways for qualified interns—which would allow communitycollege students to enter the program. Engineering Momentum placed 20 community collegestudents in 2023 through SPUR. Another 10 students interned at the University of ColoradoDenver, and five community college students interned at Lockheed Martin.Engineering Momentum research internships included mentoring from the professor, graduatestudents, and peer-to-peer collaboration between two- and four-year

Students are asked if they feel like part of thecommunity at their institution.As an institution-level data source, the NSSE, if used, can provide context and institutionalbaseline data.

common intervals within each chord type holdregardless of musical key.This commonality of intervals led the music student to conceive of a spreadsheet-baseddatabase with lookup functions to identify correct notes in each chord driven by the musicalkey. With little experience with databases and spreadsheet functions, the music studentreached out to the engineering students for help.ProblemsAs expected, the community college music theory student spends a lot of time studying,writing notes, listening to chords, and memorizing note intervals within chords. Many musictheory students do so. The community college’s target homework for a 3-credit course suchas music theory, is 6 to 9 hours of homework per week. For this study, one music studentwith

Consistent with the valuesof the Framework, students need practice to develop the self-direct learning skills of reading andnotetaking.

. With aDWD, a student could earn 60 general education credits in a community college, transfer to auniversity, earn 60 upper-division credits, and graduate with a bachelor’s degree—nominally infour years’ time. At this writing, nearly 40 statewide DWDs have been adopted. All publicinstitutions participate in statewide articulation agreements, and some private institutions alsoarticulate credits from community colleges. However, the onus for navigating policyramifications rests on students, who must know the policy and how to advocate for themselves.Unfortunately, what would appear to be straightforward on paper can be opaque to students [74].The culture of higher education with gaps between systems [75] can challenge successfultransfer [9
