• W2925078812 abstract "Abstract Despite the growth of minority communities in America during the past few decades, trends in the underrepresentation of minorities in science and engineering have persisted. In 2015, although the total U.S. population was comprised of 13% of African Americans, they represented 5% of the science and engineering workforce. Similarly, although the percentage of Latinos in the workforce increased significantly from 3% in 1970 to 15% in 2011, they represented 6% of workers in science and engineering. Native American, Pacific Islander, Hawaiian, and Southeast Asians also remain underrepresented, making up 2% of the workers in science and engineering. Toward addressing this achievement gap, there is a growing awareness of the role that community colleges play as a crucial gateway for low-income and minority students to pursue careers in STEM. However, this gateway does not always lead to success. A recent study shows that 69% of STEM students pursuing an Associate’s Degree on the national level, changed majors or left college without completing a degree or certificate. The educational effectiveness research offices of numerous community colleges largely identify that the Calculus I course serves as a major barrier for an exceedingly high number of students (60-80%) who enter at remedial math levels. Additionally, the difficulty of persevering in STEM pathways is exemplified in the low pass rates (40-55%) for additional core major requirements, such as Introduction to Chemistry and Introduction to Programming. The lack of retention of STEM students in community colleges and the lack of growth of minority representation in science and engineering demonstrates the need to develop strategic programs and practices that increase the number and diversity of students succeeding in STEM. Toward addressing this need, in partnership with the Silicon Valley Engineering Tech Pathways (SVETP), XXXXX College developed and began piloting the Engineering & Tech Scholars Program (ETS) program, a cohort-based STEM learning community designed to address major attrition points and increase the retention and diversity of students pursuing careers in STEM. With the pilot starting in the Fall of 2016, students benefit from a cohort system that encourages the development of a strong community of peer support, accelerated math courses allowing for accelerated transfer in comparison to traditional STEM program pathways, an embedded Retention Specialist in and outside of the classroom, as well as STEM scholarships and paid summer internships opportunities to offset the high financial cost of STEM degrees. This paper details the development, implementation, and initial outcomes of the program in order contribute to the body of research of evidence-based program initiatives to increase the diversity and engagement of underrepresented communities in STEM. Quantitative and qualitative data, illustrating student success and engagement, are reviewed along with student perceptions of the program to extract key insights informing future programs and best practices for maximum impact." @default.
