leverageinstitutional data to improve the STEM undergraduate education system, in particular at the stageduring which students take foundational courses taught in large class sizes: RQ1: What data do STEM faculty teaching large foundational classes for undergraduate engineering identify as being useful so that they may enhance students’ experiences and outcomes a) within the classes they teach, and b) across students’ multiple large classes? RQ2: How can looking across data sets at different levels (i.e., within-course and across courses) change faculty members’ attitudes or behaviors related to teaching undergraduate classes? RQ3: How can looking across data sets at different levels produce insights

This grant brings the challenge of providingcomprehensive mentorship to 40 scholars with only three faculty mentors who are often tied upwith other administrative tasks, rendering it impractical to explore
development. Although faculty framed these as productive and necessary skills forstudents, students perceived that faculty prioritized research and that they were ‘on their own’ in:(a) developing a specialty in a BME subfield to be marketable upon graduation, (b) learningcourse content by teaching themselves, and (c) finding and pursuing professional developmentopportunities. As a result, students drew on resources outside of the program such as family andpeer social networks, high school training in STEM subjects, and other forms of social andcultural capital. As under-represented minority (URM) students and first-generation college(FGC) students are less likely to possess these forms of capital, this finding suggests that BMEcultures may raise

and ImplementationLow tuition allows us to have a flexible scholarship structure with three types ofscholarships:a) Tuition Scholarships: Awards up to $2500 per semester for any full-time student (12 ormore credits).b) Living Expenses Scholarship: These awards are a fixed rate of $2500 per semesterand are given in the form of two checks. One check of $1000 at the beginning of thesemester and one for $1500 during week 12 of the semester. Students are not required toreport how the money was spent. The rationale for issuing two separate checks isbecause we wanted to de-incentivize students from dropping college before the middle ofthe semester. Historically, a small percentage of students drop from the program anddisappear just after receiving a
