AB  -               Development of a Multidisciplinary Summer Research              Program for Community College Students in Science and                                   EngineeringCommunity colleges typically enroll a greater percentage of minority populations andoften provide a gateway to workforce development and four-year degree attainment.The aforementioned trends point to the importance of improving the matriculation andtransfer of community college students into four-year science and engineering degreeprograms, especially in the field of engineering where African Americans, Hispanics,Native Americans, and females are underrepresented. However, literature notes that itis important that community college students are exposed to coursework andexperiences that adequately prepare them for success at a four-year institution. Thispaper describes the multidisciplinary summer research program for community collegestudents in science and engineering that is offered at the University of California-Berkeley which intends to prepare selected student participants for enrollment in a four-year institution within the University of California system. This paper also describes thecomprehensive evaluation methods that were used to determine whether the summerprogram reached the intended aims and goals. Initial findings indicate that the programwas successful with preparing students to transfer to a four-year institution asacademic goals were clarified and the self-efficacy of students was improved.Discussion will focus on how the evaluation results are being used to refine theprogram for future offerings. Other institutions and programs can use the informationshared to consider how to develop similar experiences and how to assess thoseprograms for efficacy.
