But many U.S. institutions of higher education are struggling in these efforts. Only 35,421 of the 112,721 engineering bachelor's degree recipients in this country in the 2015-16 academic year were African American\/Black, Latino, Native American or female. And the percentage of those students among U.S. engineering graduates has been flat or declining for more than a decade.\u003cbr\u003e The NSBE Student Retention Toolkit published by the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), was developed to address this problem by helping U.S. colleges and universities change the equation for engineering diversity within their institutions. \u003cbr\u003eThe NSBE Student Retention Toolkit provides research-based strategy briefs, each nine pages or fewer, that present proven strategies for improving student retention and student success in engineering degree programs.\u003cbr\u003e The briefs include clear action steps for the readers as well as guidance in avoiding pitfalls. Each strategy is grounded in examples of campus programs that have raised success rates for underrepresented minorities, women and first-generation college-goers.\u003cbr\u003e The Student Retention Toolkit is part of NSBE's broader effort to dramatically increase the number of underrepresented minority and women engineers in the U.S. over the next eight years, both separately and in collaboration with the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) in the 50K Coalition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe NSBE Student Retention Toolkit Briefs\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eInstitution and Department Topics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Campus Climate: How to measure and shape students' perceptions of the college environment in general and engineering programs in particular\u003cbr\u003e Faculty Development: The critical role of active learning by faculty in improving student outcomes\u003cbr\u003e Institutional Leadership: Strategies to engage senior leaders of the college or university in supporting and promoting engineering diversity efforts\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCore Strategy Topics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Early Alert Systems: Effective methods of reaching out to struggling students in time to turn around their performance\u003cbr\u003e Facilitated Study Groups: How to implement these periodic, collaborative learning sessions to improve students' grades and self-confidence\u003cbr\u003e Living-Learning Communities: Bonding college students to the campus, their peers and their engineering programs in residential academic settings\u003cbr\u003e Scholar Cohort Programs: Setting up talented teams of students who pursue their engineering degrees and graduate together\u003cbr\u003e Summer Bridge Programs: Designing and implementing these gateway programs for incoming freshmen that are proven to increase their retention in engineering\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConcept Topics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Identity: Moving underrepresented minority and women students beyond cultural, racial or gender differences from the majority to help them see themselves as engineers\u003cbr\u003e Self-Efficacy: How to improve students' assessment of their capability in engineering \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Diversity increases engineering innovation and engineering success.
