Gaskins has revamped the summer bridge program to increase student support and retention as well as developed and strengthened partnerships in with local area school districts to aid in the high school to college path- way. In 2009, she founded The Gaskins Foundation, a non-profit organization, whose mission is to educate and empower the African American community. Her foundation recently launched the Cincinnati STEM- ulates year round K-12 program, which is a free of charge program that will introduce more students to Math and Science. She was named the 2017 K12 Champion by the National Association of Multicultural Engineering Program Advocates (NAMEPA).Dr. Tracy Pritchard, University of CincinnatiMr. Delano WhiteKeri

This paper describes a FE review coursewhich has been operating since 1980. The course has been successful in that 94.5% of thestudents completing the sequence have passed the Fundamentals Examination. The reviewemphasizes, over a seven-week period, the various engineering sciences. It is assumed that thestudents are motivated to study on their own the remaining material on the exam that includes
