- W2403518144 abstract "Abstract A STEM Transfer and Retention Program at ___ University This paper presents a program funded by the Department of Education aimed attransferring and retaining highly motivated Hispanic students into our new Bachelors ofScience in System Engineering Program at ___ University (_U) in __, __. _U initiatedwith only a Pre-Engineering program as an articulation agreement with __U at __.Students from this area did not have the opportunity to attend a local engineering schoolwith the nearest school being 150 miles away. _U’s interest is not only in recruitingengineering students from both local high schools and the local community college, butalso in retaining them so they graduate.The workshops were two weeks in duration of full day activities. The first two workshopswere offered during the summer of 2012 and 2013 with 14 Hispanic in 2012 and 22students (21 Hispanic and 1 African-American) in 2013. In the workshop the studentswork in small groups to acquire many skills related to their success in the STEM fieldsand engineering, in particular. Skills include teamwork, research, procurement ofmaterials, problem solving and career planning. While working on mathematics andengineering related projects they also get familiar with _U’s faculty, students, equipmentand other resources available to them. The workshop was enhanced by the supervision,guidance and mentoring by our engineering and mathematics faculty.One major challenge for our program is the limited opportunities available in __ forengineering graduates. To address this issue we added local prominent engineeringspeakers to talk to the students about life as an engineer in __. Regional fieldtrips werealso included to expose the students to the different types engineering industries thatexist in __ as well as in nearby __.The success of this workshop was measured in two methods. One was the survey’sresults, which showed an average response of 4.65 / 5.0 in all of the questions relatedto their experience where 0 is disappointing and 5 is wonderful. In particular, the surveyshows an average response of 4.85 / 5.0 for the workshop’s ability to encourage thestudents to continue to work towards a STEM degree. Secondly, by the increase innumber of students staying in our newly created Bachelor of Science degree rather thantransferring out." @default.
