pursuing STEM baccalaureate degrees lies in examining and addressing theculture of the engineering classroom and the engineering laboratory (Ibarra, 1999). The methods throughwhich engineering faculty choose to enrich and mentor students makes just a significant impact in whatthey are being taught. Brown Jr. offers fours components needed for strengthening the relationshipbetween underrepresented students and STEM baccalaureate degree pursual: (1) prioritizing diversity; (2)providing mentoring; (3) involving students in professional development activities; and (4) incorporatingreal cultural context within the framing of research (2011). Implementation of such elements within thestudy’s Biomechatronic Learning Laboratory for rehabilitation robotics

students, either asteaching assistants or as mentors during a semester. In this latter role, we are tasked with guidingstudents through research endeavors and giving them an introduction to engineeringinvestigations. While in some instances this can be a straightforward task, there are times whenthe role of a mentor can be physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing. Some students have aharder time being able to grasp the research method or process, and it can lead to moredrawbacks than benefits to the project. But what of the instances outside of the laboratory?Certainly, our role as a mentor is to guide students and give them advice and mentorshipregarding their research endeavors. Do we just tell them that their problems are outside of
