This study used a mixed methods approach to investigate various adjustment issues of participants in a summer bridge program for engineering students at a predominantly White insitution (PWI) in the mid-southeastern region of the United States. Specifically, the academic, social, personal-emotional, and goal commitment and institutional attachment subscales of the Student Adaption to College Questionnaire (SACQ) were utilized for this purpose. The Summer Bridge Inventory (SBI) that was employed in this research revealed the summer bridge participants' opinions about the strengths and weaknesses of the program and its related activities.

Diversity in engineering is a key goal, however a barrier for students from diverse backgrounds is the physics requirements in engineering. Often, they will have to choose between the three sciences, and don’t realize that without physics, their options are limited. We launched a pilot program in 2019 to expand access into engineering. Students without high school physics can take a summer bridge program to teach them the fundamentals and prepare them for first year engineering. Physics is taught through bioengineering to leverage their biology background knowledge. This paper presents a thematic analysis of student reflections in the program, using student identity development as a framework.
