Attempts to increase STEM enrollment atUniversities consistently include the same concepts; bridge programs, learning communities,research experiences and group projects [1]. While attempting to increase undergraduateretention of (URM), these experiences often focus solely on first-year students. In order to meettheir needs, diverse students must matriculate through the Colleges and Universities via thepipeline from secondary education to employment.

We will also monitor the retention rate of studentswho have used the service in their freshman and sophomore years. Given that 60% of ouradmitted students drop out or change major during the first two years of their academic career[3], the service is expected to improve retention rate through offering support to students in theirfirst engineering classes.References:[1] “California State University Graduation Initiative 2025, CSU Systems and Campus Completion Goalsand Plans”, September 9, 2016. https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/why-the -CSU-matters/graduation

Session ETD 506Figure 2: Photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge. (Max Pixel, n.d.)The builders of Tacoma narrows were under strong pressure to economize. The original plans forthe Tacoma Bridge Incorporated many safety features. These were considered to be tooexpensive at the time. The plans were revised by an award-winning engineer. Because thisnew design met existing code and it was much less expensive than the original design, it wasselected (Othmar, Kármán, & Woodruff, 1941). In 1936, construction costs were $6,400,000,adjusted for inflation $113,602,000Shortly after construction, the bridge began to rise and fall whenever there was moderate wind.

Once the structural features ofthe summaries were identified, one of the second authors read the summaries looking for thesame structural elements to confirm the structural patterns. Then the board comments/scores were also collected for the semesters used to identifyany patterns of improvement. This strategy did not work out as planned due to a few anomaliesinvolved in the semesters included in the study. There was no clear evidence of improvementbetween the semesters studied.

It should also be noted that a few students commented in the survey that theywished lecture had provided more guidance as to how to layout reinforcing prior to beamfabrication. While the request is understandable, the variety in reinforcing configurations alsoadded a creative component and a wider sample of results. This would not be the case iflectures had a more prescriptive approach to reinforcement for the lab. The individuals thatrequested this may have brought down the score for lecture preparedness slightly, but the overallscore was still strong and there are no plans to modify this approach in future
