encouraged through a cohortmodel. Cohort activities allowed teachers to learn about the career pathways taken by graduatestudent assistants and faculty mentors, which often linked past experiences to current researchinterests. It also provided the teachers, who were all CaucasianWhite, with different perspectivesand trajectories that their students may follow in the future. Teachers noted that they planned toinvite the graduate students and faculty mentors into their classrooms for guest lectures to allowtheir students the chance to interact with individuals from a variety of diverse backgrounds.At the start of the summer program, the RET team did not allow time for informal interactions inthe cohort activities. This oversight was evident in the

Higher education institutions must aim to serve the students that they areenrolling. Servingness is the degree to which HSIs both champion and facilitate Hispanicstudent success [4]. Garcia, Núñez, and Sansone [5] indicate that servingness can be measuredthrough academic and non-academic outcomes. Examples of academic outcomes includeretention and graduation rates. Examples of non-academic outcomes include the development ofacademic self-concept, leadership identity, racial identity, critical consciousness, graduateschool aspirations, and civic engagement [6].RISE-UP participants, through the voice and

the makerspaces can contribute to feelings of confidence as thestudents move beyond the makerspaces and into careers: In terms of a career, I guess I won't be as naive. When I go into something, I won't have to make those same stupid mistakes that some new guy would make because I've been there and done most of that stuff already, which this program has been really helpful in. Not necessarily that it's made me make those mistakes, but I've done so much that they've happened and if you don't learn from them, they're actually a mistake, but if you learn from them, it's good. So I guess it makes me more confident going into an actual career.Hunter is a fifth-year student who expresses considerable

However, we did find one study whichaddressed the use of a flipped classroom from a polytechnic perspective and reported that theflipped classroom provided more time for hands-on experiences, but that this increased time didnot lead to a more positive student experience or significantly improved performance [20].Our institution carries a “polytechnic” designation. The institution’s interpretation of thatdesignation has been to promote a “hands-on, minds-on” style of pedagogy. Specifically, thisstyle emphasizes career-focused or hands-on experiential learning and a laboratory

The purpose of the course is to: 1) provide students with access to a faculty mentorthat can provide automotive engineering expertise, 2) compensate students participating on theteam with GPA hours, and 3) motivate students to participate on a competition team early intheir academic career. Throughout the semester, students are educated on common design,analysis, and testing procedures used to build the Baja SAE car. In addition, connectionsbetween the theory and homework assignments students are currently completing in their courses(e.g., Statics, Solid Mechanics, Instrumentation, Dynamics, and Machine Design) and thephysical application of the material in a hands-on project are made.
