This $281,186 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to increase enrollment in and completion of engineering degrees for community college students, particularly Hispanic and other underrepresented minority students. The funding supports a partnership between Houston Community College (HCC) and the University of Texas at Tyler (UTTyler) called the Houston Engineering Center (HEC). Key components of the project include an engineering preparatory program, a mentoring program with faculty, student, and alumni mentors, and professional development for HCC and UTTyler faculty and staff. The project will evaluate student academic data to demonstrate increases in enrollment and retention, as well as assess non-academic metrics like sense of belonging and confidence. The award recipient, Houston Community College System District, will disseminate project results through publications, presentations, and a local symposium. This grant is part of the NSF's Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) program, which seeks to enhance STEM education and build capacity at HSIs.
