Low-income students are underrepresented in engineering and more likely to struggle in engineering programs. Research has found that increasing first and second-year retention enhances the ability of academically talented low-income students to successfully graduate with engineering degrees. In this collaborative research project six institutions will replicate, improve, and test a model of student success originally developed at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The model is designed to increase the retention, success, and graduation of low-income (Pell-eligible) academically talented students from underserved populations. The project will make scholarship awards to 800 students across a consortium of the six partner institutions. To support the students, the project will adapt and implement an ecosystem of high quality evidence-based curricular and co-curricular activities. Members of the consortium are: the University of Colorado, Boulder; the University of Washington; Washington State University; Boise State University; the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; and the University of California, San Diego. The Redshirt in Engineering Consortium is committed to propagating the "Redshirt" model, which focuses primarily on the first-year of college and consists of intrusive academic advising, an innovative first-year academic curriculum, community building, and career awareness. The term "redshirt" refers to the idea of providing an extra year of preparation for the rigors of engineering curricula. A quantitative and qualitative mixed methods research study will examine the implementation of the model under different conditions and with different student populations. A comparative longitudinal study will examine differences in expected student outcomes between scholarship recipients and similar students who are pursuing engineering degrees. The primary analytic approach for the ethnographic research will be the Constant Comparative Analysis, which will involve concurrent engagement in data collection and data analysis.

低收入学生在工程学方面的人数不足，并且在工程计划中更有可能挣扎。 研究发现，增加第一年和二年级的保留增强了学术才华的低收入学生成功毕业于工程学位的能力。在这个合作研究项目中，六个机构将重复，改进和测试最初在科罗拉多大学博尔德分校开发的学生成功模型。该模型旨在增加来自服务不足人群的低收入（符合佩尔）学术才华的学生的保留，成功和毕业。该项目将向六个合作伙​​伴机构的财团中的800名学生颁发奖学金奖。为了支持学生，该项目将适应和实施高质量的基于证据的课程和课外活动的生态系统。该财团的成员是：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校；华盛顿大学；华盛顿州立大学；博伊西州立大学；伊利诺伊大学，乌尔巴纳 - 坎普恩恩；和加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校。 工程联盟中的红衫军致力于传播“红衫军”模型，该模型主要集中在大学的第一年，并由侵入性学术咨询组成，这是一种创新的一年级学术课程，社区建设和职业意识。 “红衫军”一词是指为工程课程的严格准备提供额外准备的想法。定量和定性的混合方法研究将研究该模型在不同条件和不同的学生群体下的实施。 一项比较纵向研究将研究奖学金获得者与攻读工程学位的类似学生之间的预期学生成绩的差异。 人种学研究的主要分析方法将是持续的比较分析，该方法将涉及数据收集和数据分析的同时参与。
