摘要

The purpose of this study was to determine if UMR's MEP 7-Week Summer Bridge Program helped prepare first-time minority engineering students for success in the college of engineering. The findings from this study substantiated existing literature that when minority students were given the opportunity to acquire the skills to be successful in engineering (i.e., participation in the MEP Summer Bridge Program), their academic achievement (i.e., first-semester GPA) was higher than other students with similar academic characteristics. The results of the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) revealed that the MEP students first-semester adjusted mean GPA (2.839a) was significantly higher than the Minority Non-MEP students first-semester adjusted mean GPA (2.510a) and significantly higher than the White Non-MEP students first-semester adjusted mean GPA (2.569a); In terms of graduation and persistence, although the chi-square (χ 2) analyses results indicated a trend toward significance, the MEP graduation or persistence rates (60%) were not statistically significantly higher than the Minority Non-MEP graduation or persistence rates (48%) or significantly higher than the White Non-MEP graduation or persistence rates (56%).; Based on the findings of this research study, the following conclusions were reported: (1) The MEP Summer Bridge Program had a positive influence on students' academic achievement; (2) Students majoring in science, engineering, or mathematics (SEM) fields entering college who need remedial mathematics in algebra and trigonometry are at serious risks in terms of persistence in college; (3) Minority students' inadequate high school preparation can be compensated by participation in the MEP Summer Bridge Program; and (4) Participation in the MEP Summer Bridge Program enabled MEP students to graduate or persist at approximately the same rate as that of Minority Non-MEP students and as that of White Non-MEP students. Some of the major implications for practice for college administrators and especially MEP administrators were: (1) To provide a summer bridge program for students who are placed into lower level mathematics courses, and (2) To Provide students with tutoring for upper-level math and science “gatekeeper” courses.
