funding, so it reduced the number of students that had to seek employmentoutside of FAMU. Moreover, by 2020, a federal NSF S-STEM grant was acquired in addition toother industry partnerships that provided additional funding and the ability to ensure no studentshad to work outside of FAMU, which reduced students' financial needs and heavily increasedretention and average GPAs.E. ConclusionThe EESI program has varied over the years with the change of funding offered, which led to theability to meet goal (1) of the program. However, the core concept of incorporating experientiallearning with academic support has been the same to ensure that the seven (7) program goals aremet. The quantitative results in this study show that the EESI students are

Data was collected from full-time high-achieving underserved students at three participating institutions enrolled in degree programs incomputer engineering (CE), computer science (CS), and information technology (IT). At allthree of the participating institutions the three programs (CE, CS, and IT) were within theCollege of Engineering. High-achieving underserved students were defined as those whoqualified for Federal Student Aid and who also maintained a required minimum GPA (3.0 forfirst year students, 2.5 for upcoming fourth year students s). A GPA of 2.5 was considered to behigh achieving for fourth year students due to the threshold proposed by the S-STEM grant forscholarship eligibility.The survey
support diverse studentsappropriately. Faculty should be engaged in supporting these diverse students beyond theirteaching role, including academic advising, coaching and mentoring, social status checks, andmore. Furthermore, faculty involved in these roles should be supported and rewarded, as theywould be for other important campus initiatives. Nonetheless, there are some challenges with thisapproach since research has shown that women and minority faculty typically already have aheavier service load and more diversity responsibilities than do their peers.
