(ENGR101), was specifically designed and offered during the fall quarter of the 2015-16 school year asa part of a NSF S-STEM grant, Program for Engineering Excellence for Partner Schools(PEEPS). PEEPS is a cohort scholarship program that provides engineering students withfinancial, academic, and social support3. ENGR 101 was developed by two engineering faculty, aVISTA member, and supported by a curriculum expert, to expand the benefits of PEEPS to alarger number of students and to establish interventions and practices in engineering classroomsthat better support diversity on our university’s campus. The specific course goals were todevelop and enhance students’ engineering identity and sense of belonging within the College ofEngineering in order

Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM), VT-NETS is a scholarshipprogram and research project focused on improving collaboration efforts between Virginia Techand two community college partners. The primary objective of VT-NETS is to determine how allthree partners can increase the success and efficiency of engineering transfer through communitycollege-to-bachelor’s degree pathways, thus increasing attainment of A.S. and B.S. degrees inengineering. VT-NETS works toward increasing access to co-curricular programs, streamliningand aligning advising between institutions, and developing a cohort mentality among the pre-transfer students at the community college. One intention of this
success in their chosen majors. Thisdecision was also a result of the authors’ interest on SVS literature and the successful experienceof offering a pilot face-to-face (FTF) training on campus to improve SVS for 6 talented, low-income students in an NSF S-STEM scholarship program in Spring ’14. Previous studies in theSVS subject [1], [2], [3] report that well-developed SVS lead to students’ success in Engineeringand Technology, Computer Science, Chemistry, Computer Aided Design and Mathematics.Bairaktarova et al.

) appear to have increased in their share of thetotal agency investments in STEM education over that same time frame. Also revealed from thisvisualization is how highly-invested agencies tend to have a handful of highly invested programsand then multiple smaller efforts. Because most STEM investments are funded via multipleappropriations from Congress, this graphic demonstrates that the approximately one billion dollarincrease in Federal STEM education funding is being utilized by multiple entities and notnecessarily just the few whose missions more closely overlap with achieving effective STEMeducation.Top funded programs listed in the inventory can be seen in Table 5.
