摘要：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.
