The educational research questions tested during theimplementation of the CAPS program focus on studying (a) how these interventions affect thedevelopment of social belonging and engineering identity of CAPS scholars, and (b) the impactof Mentor+ on academic resilience and progress to degree. The findings will help enhance theCAPS program and establish a sustainable Scholars Support Program at the university that canbe transferred to similar culturally diverse institutions to increase success for students who havesocio-economic challenges, and can be used for all scholars in the College regardless of thesource of their scholarships.This

-12 educators, andevaluators.Key outcomes or Other achievements:Over the course of the meeting, participants will address ten of the key themes that emergedfrom the interviews. Though sessions will vary in terms of how they are moderated based onsubject matter, each session will include a component of sharing of (a) current state along with(b) challenge/gap identification and (c) brainstorming for challenge/gap resolution. Through thisprocess, we expect to identify the gaps in the community’s body of knowledge which will be thefoundation of the research agenda. Additionally, we hope to also extract information critical toidentification of current best practices among ambassador and other engineering outreachprograms.Opportunities for Training
