AB  - The Bridges to STEM Careers (BSC) project is funded by the NSF STEP program. The project is a collaborative effort between the University of Houston - Clear Lake (UHCL) and three campuses of the San Jacinto Community College district (SJC). The main goals of the project are to increase attainment of STEM associate and baccalaureate degrees, as well as to facilitate and increase transfer of STEM students across the institutions. The project focuses on increasing student engagement and persistence through the development of face-to-face and technology-enhanced learning networks, both within and across campuses. Supporting initiatives include summer orientation programs, peer and faculty mentoring, career-awareness and enhancement activities, and modest financial aid. The intellectual merit of the project lies in the strong partnership between the baccalaureate and associate institutions, well-designed and coherent project elements built on literature-based best practices and successful pilot studies, clear implementation strategies, well-planned evaluation, and extensive involvement of local STEM industries. In this paper we will provide an overview of the project elements, hands-on student activities and the lessons learned.
