1 Facilitators: Rogeair Purnell Eva Schiorring Case Studies of Three Successful Programs Accelerating & Diversifying the Engineering Transfer Path in the Community Colleges

2 Colleges & Programs East Los Angeles College (ELAC): Engineering Transfer Pathway Program (ETP)  Bootcamps in Math, Chemistry, and Physics  Junior Engineering & Technologies Academy (JETA) Cañada College: Student On-ramp Leading to Engineering & Sciences (SOLES)  MathJam  Summer Engineering Institute at SFSU (SEI) Cabrillo College: Science, Technology and Energy: Expanding Potential (STEEP)  Pre-Calculus Preparedness Seminar (PREP)  Summer Energy Laboratory Academy

3 ELAC BOOTCAMPS CAÑADA MATHJAM CABRILLO PREP Math Preparation & Acceleration Programs

4 ELAC Bootcamps Location: East Los Angeles Subjects: Math, Chemistry, Physics Goal:  Reduce time to transfer by accelerating path through math and science sequence Schedule:  Summer and Winter Breaks  5 weeks, 4-5 days/week Target: Freshmen students interested in STEM

5 ELAC Bootcamps cont. Components: 3 different levels of math bootcamps as well as physics and chemistry Lectures Tutoring Online tutorials and homework Math assessment and placement exams

6 ELAC Bootcamps cont. Duration: 2009-2011 (ongoing) Enrollment: 266 students Demographics:  25%+ female  69% URMs (African Americans & Latinos) Outcomes (Math):  Completion Rate = 68-78%  Pass Rate = 32-51%  56-65% of completers moved to a higher level of math

7 ELAC Bootcamps cont. I want to take advantage of everything they have to offer before I move on to the next thing…ELAC is the only community college in the area that has an engineering program. You get a lot more attention from the professors there; everything there is small scale, more accessible. You can make friends that help you in your studies. Alexander Chau ELAC Math Bootcamp

8 Cañada College MathJam Location: Redwood City Subject: Math Goal: Reduce time to transfer by accelerating path through math sequence, develop learning community, introduce students to CC resources Schedule: Summer and winter breaks 2 weeks, 6.5 hours/day Target: Freshmen students and ongoing students testing at least at the pre-algebra level

9 Cañada College MathJam cont. Components: Lectures Online testing & assessment Workshops on college success skills Overcoming math anxiety Group study sessions One-on-one tutoring

10 Cañada College MathJam cont. Time Period: 2009-2011 (ongoing) Enrollment: 376 students Demographics: 60% female 60% Latino 45% first-generation college students Outcomes (Math): Completion Rate = 83% 90% improved math placement scores 64-71% placed at a higher level of math than in previous test(s)

11 Cañada College MathJam cont. If I made it this far, I know I can go farther—even though I will face a lot of challenges, I can overcome those challenges. The hardest part for me was taking that first math test because everyone is afraid of math. Javier Encarcion Cañada MathJam

12 Cabrillo PREP Location: Aptos Subject: Math/Trigonometry Goal: Prepare students to succeed in pre-calculus Schedule: Summer breaks 2 weeks, 4 hours/day 2 hour/weekly problem sessions in following semester as students re-take pre-calculus Target: STEM majors struggling in pre-calculus

13 Cabrillo PREP cont. Components: Math review & small group sessions Peer mentoring Student-directed learning Games & applied projects Ongoing peer support sessions through pre-calculus courses Stipends for completers

14 Cabrillo PREP cont. Time Period: 2009-2013 Enrollment: ~60 students to date Demographics: 34% female (all STEEP programs) 50% Latino (all STEEP programs) Outcomes (Math): Participants were as or more likely to successfully complete a subsequent Pre-calculus course as other students despite being at risk of failing (preliminary outcomes).

15 Cabrillo PREP cont. The group presentations in PREP contributed the most to my math learning skills because I was forced to re-learn the math to be able to present it to the entire class. Thank you! It's not easy to put into words the amount I've gained from this program, but I feel eternally grateful that this opportunity crossed my path… Alex Estuesta Cabrillo PREP & SEA

16 Math Acceleration & Preparation Programs ELAC Bootcamps Cañada MathJam Cabrillo PREP Subjects:Math, Chemistry & Physics MathMath & Trigonometry Schedule:Summer & winter break Summer breakSummer break & following semester Time Commitment: 5 weeks, 4-5 days/week 2 weeks, 6.5 hrs/day 4 weeks, 4 hrs/day Purpose:Reduce time to transfer by accelerating path through math & science sequence Reduce time to transfer by accelerating path through math sequence Prepare students to succeed in pre-calculus

17 Math Acceleration & Preparation Programs cont. ELAC Bootcamps Cañada MathJamCabrillo PREP Target:Freshmen students interested in STEM Freshmen & continuing students testing at pre- algebra level+ STEM majors struggling in pre- calculus Program Components: Lectures, tutoring, online tutorials & homework, math assessment & placement exams; 3 levels of bootcamps Lectures, tutoring, online testing & assessment, workshops on college success skills & overcoming math anxiety, group study sessions Math review & small group sessions, peer mentoring, student- directed learning, games & applied projects; peer support sessions through pre- calculus courses; completer stipends
