Increasing Participation and Matriculation in the Geosciences at El Paso Community College

Background EL Paso Community College 30,000+ enrolled students (2011) ~ 90% Hispanic 5 campuses (6 th by 2013) 5 Early College High Schools Over 130 programs of study Geological Sciences A.S. University of Texas at El Paso Geological Sciences B.S, M.S., Ph.D.

Increasing Participation courses enrollment rose 26% to 2,984 students 2008 Geological Sciences A.S. created Designed as a 2+2 degree plan with UTEP 60 credit hrs. at EPCC last 60 credit hrs. at UTEP Developed new EPCC geology courses GEOL 1305-Environmental Geology GEOL Research Topics in Geology GEOL Geological Field Methods (capstone course) Interactive online course catalog Geology Majors at EPCC As of Fall Geology Majors

Increasing Matriculation Spring 2010 research began at EPCC Funded by WAESO ( Western Alliance to Expand Student Opportunities ) 8 students have since been funded: Integrated study of the hydrogeology of a wetland preserve Delineation of groundwater flow within the Rio Grande Flood Plain An Integrated Study Investigating Groundwater Flow in Keystone Park Investigations of Potential Archaeological sites horizons using Ground Penetrating Radar

SOLARIS Track-1 project design: Component 1- educational outreach 2-day workshop involving high school and Dual Credit Earth Science Instructors Day 1 – hands on earth science activities Speakers from local industries Counselors from EPCC and UTEP Educational kits Day 2- Field trip to local geology sites suitable for class field trips

SOLARIS Component 2- student research (Spring-Fall 2012) $600 mini-grants for 5 EPCC faculty Support 10 geology majors at EPCC Stipend of $1000/semester $500 for supplies/rentals Travels for students to present research $5000 Sub-award to partnering 4-YC faculty co-mentoring Training on equipment Facilities (computer labs and software)

“EPCC the best place to start!”
