NSF S-STEM Funded iAM Program: Lessons Learned Implementing a Collaborative STEM Workshop for Community College and University PartnersAbstractIn alignment with the NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and MathematicsProgram (S-STEM) [1], a Two-Year Community College, Nassau Community College (NCC) andfour-year university, Hofstra University (HU) are within a five-mile radius of each other and arecollaborating. The objective is to recruit academically talented low-income students through twopipelines, retain them through transparency of the hidden curriculum, and see them through tograduation in a STEM field from HU [2].

ago.To be specific, fossil fuel combustion accounts for more than 70% of energy production in theUnited States and virtually all transportation. In addition, growing demands for energy, risingfuel prices, limited fuel supply and dire environmental consequences command more efficientand cleaner combustion technologies. Engineers well versed in the topic will be needed toaddress this societal need. However, relatively few programs offer a Combustion course at theundergraduate level; even fewer integrate a laboratory into the course.The School of Engineering at Grand valley State University emphasizes a practical, hands-onapproach to education and integrates a laboratory practicum into a large number of its courses.

Because of the rapid growth in student entry into the Department as well as the breadthof career pathways, it was recognized that there was a need for students to be introduced to theBioengineering faculty and research early in their academic career. This need is well-established, and arises out of the need to satisfy student curiosity aboutthe bioengineering discipline, to provide students with information about the department, and toinstill in students the beginnings of much-needed technical survival skills.
