Bridges from Campus to Campus study (NSF IUSE#1525367) is to increase the number of underrepresented students (i.e., African American,Native American, Hispanic American students) in undergraduate Engineering majors. By doingso we strive to address the urgent need to expand the pool of undergraduates who earn a Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) degree. This paper describes progress in Year 2 ofthe project with a focus on Cohort 2.Goals: To improve retention in Engineering, this study conducts academic enrichment programsfor racially underrepresented Engineering students at three points in their career at thePennsylvania State University—entering first-year students, rising sophomores, and risingjuniors.

climate consists of influences that require outcomes-based programaccreditation, anticipated shortfalls in graduation rates, changing engineering studentdemographics and attributes, changes in engineering practices in developed countries,advances in instructional technology and cognitive sciences, and a movement towards thescholarship of teaching and learning1. These forces place a large emphasis on continuedfaculty professional development, and a diffusion of research-based practices into theclassroom as the engineering education community is increasingly recognizing theimportance of proactively helping engineering educators advance their teachingeffectiveness2.

biology, chemistry and engineering. In fact, biology has become as much of anenabling science for chemical engineering as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. This newparadigm shift in the engineering field demands that undergraduate students should be exposedto biological engineering at an early stage of their career via research and discovery experiences.This will provide them with a better understanding about the importance of interdisciplinaryresearch and science innovation.There is a need for an increase in the representation of individuals in the areas of chemical andbiological engineering. In this ever-increasing technology-driven and globalized society, we needmore individuals who are trained in interdisciplinary sciences to address

Those results seem to coincide with the previous analysis. Page 26.246.8Looking at the variance of quiz scores, we can conclude as we did before, that WeBWorK is atleast equivalent to paper homework for learning. This may be a more important result than theprevious because it shows that for engineering students, the online based homework does notleave any portion of the class behind due to technological difficulties or comprehension.
