This $199,704 National Science Foundation project grant supports the Kern Community College District in expanding its Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement (MESA) program at Bakersfield College. The MESA program aims to promote student persistence, learning, and understanding in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields through workshops, mentoring, research opportunities, and other experiential learning activities. Specifically, the grant will expand participation in the MESA program from 107 to 200 students per semester to establish a baseline for future study of scaling the program. It will also determine which MESA program components have the greatest impact on student success outcomes. Finally, the project will explore how to better integrate MESA into Bakersfield College's guided pathways model. The research aims to identify critical program elements needed to increase participation while maintaining effectiveness. Results will be disseminated to similar institutions serving large minority populations seeking scalable STEM degree completion strategies. This award falls under the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), which supports developing the nation's STEM education enterprise.
