they would enjoy pursuing a research career in the future. Students also buildskills, such as technical capabilities [1], [2] and project and time management, that can benefitthem irrespective of the career path that they take. Because of this, undergraduate researchprograms are a form of project-based and experiential learning.Significant prior work exists in these areas. Notably, prior studies have shown that students canbuild their technical skills through project and experiential learning; however, they have alsoshown a number of more general benefits such as building students’ confidence [3], [4], creativity[5] and even self-image [6].Project and experiential learning has been shown to be effective throughout STEM fields [7]–[9]and

Training workshops in conjunction with a partassessment framework encourage designers to use design for additive manufacturing (DfAM)considerations during the process of idea generation. In this respect, a training framework willassist researchers, educators, and students to evaluate and improve designs and encourageexploration of changes that need to be made during the design process.

INTRODUCTIONSeveral factors have been identified to contribute to the uneven pursuit and completion of engineering andcomputer science degrees based on race and ethnicity: (a) the lack of exposure to engineering or computerscience as fields of study or as career opportunities [1], (b) the lack of professional identity (inability tosee oneself as a professional) [2], (c) an impaired sense of belonging [3, 4], and (d) the lack of self-efficacy (how well one can execute a course of action to deal with a prospective situation) [5].
