Of highimportance is the need to connect students to their peers, their community partners and theirmentors. Also paramount is the quality of the projects: they must be challenging without beingoverwhelming. Finally, the need for reflection concerning the experience and its context (i.e. anaffirmation that the messiness of community projects offers other paths to learn) must also beaddressed.In the SLICE program, most of the S-L projects, as

In a recent literature review, Mersanddefined a makerspace as “an area that provides materials and tools to encourage individuals orgroups to make things, to create new knowledge, or to solve problems” [6]. In educationalcontexts, makerspaces should provide access to defining elements of the Maker movement,including digital tools, community infrastructure, and “the maker mindset,” involving a positiveview of failure and focus on collaboration [7].While these definitions do not mention gender or race, they may reflect a bias of the predominantusers of makerspaces [8], as makerspaces have, at times, struggled to adequately serve a broadcommunity [9].

for all students.Within the context of this project, the course redesign process is guided by a set of faculty-created standards for neuroinclusive teaching, known within the project as I-Standards; thesestandards have undergone multiple iterations to reflect the team’s understanding of current bestpractices. The standards were developed along with experts from the university’s Center forExcellence in Teaching and Learning and the School of Education. Anchored in a strengths-based approach to neurodiversity, the standards focus on three main areas: 1) building a cultureof inclusion, 2) instructional design and inclusive teaching practices, and 3) enhancingcommunication and supports for students [41].

It became clear that even if this intervention were effective, itwould be unlikely to be broadly implemented due to these challenges. The interventionresulted in only small trends in improved test performance. These observations led us toreconsider and redefine our writing prompt.After considerable re-assessment, discussion and continued research, we streamlined the writingassignment. In the latest iteration of the prompt, implemented during the Fall 2013 semester, weasked students to reflect on any confusion they had about how to solve the selected homeworkproblem and then revise this reflection after receiving instructor input

Within engineering and design teams, engineering educators are concerned not onlywith how individual students develop ethically, but also how everyday ethical decision-makingemerges during team interactions and becomes integrated in design solutions. Furthermore, theseethical decisions often do not present themselves as traditional dilemmas, but are issues that areconfronted in the everyday process of design, and are influenced by team members’ cultural anddisciplinary backgrounds and the ethical climates of the team and the organization.In considering engineering

The stated goal of the program was for 80% of the S-STEM Scholars tograduate with a STEM degree within four years. The 4-year graduation rates in STEM forCohorts 1 through 3 were 83%, 53%, and 84%, respectively. Program goals were met in two ofthe three years for which data is available. As mentioned above, the extent to which COVID-19had an impact on retention and graduation is unknown.Program sustainability is a significant challenge given that the scholarship funding covered fullcost of attendance for students, i.e. tuition, fees, books, housing, and meals.

Historical data indicates thatapproximately 170 students per year with a high school GPA of 3.00 or higher are admitted toExploratory Studies because they do not meet the College of Engineering admissions criteria. Ofthose, roughly 78 students remain at the University after one year. Of those 78, only about 45students per year transition to College of Engineering majors by the end of their first year, withthe majority of these students transferring to engineering technology majors.
