This mission is tied to the state’s mandate to increase enrollment in highereducation [7] and to boost STEM education to meet the growing STEM workforce needs [8].Tennessee Tech University’s strategic plan to increase freshmen-to-sophomore retention rates to82% and to reach a 50% 4-year graduation rate by 2025 [9] is also reflected in the Center’smission.The CoE SSC activities and outcomes have been through substantial growth in the past threeyears, the staff have been intensifying recruitment efforts, developing and

].Constructive feedback from mentors helps students to refine their research questions, developrobust methodologies, and critically analyze their findings [14]. Furthermore, feedback is notjust limited to academic or technical aspects; it also encompasses guidance on professionaldevelopment and career planning, significantly influencing students' future paths [15]. Thequality and frequency of feedback are key factors in the success of undergraduate researchexperiences, impacting students' confidence, motivation, and overall learning outcomes [16].Current feedback methods in URPs often involve informal discussions, written comments onwork, and periodic evaluations. However, these methods can sometimes be inconsistent andlack timely responses, which are

At that time, education at WPI gave students little room to becreative as every student was given a prescriptive curriculum that had to be strictly followed.Engineering instruction did not include social paradigms and challenges of the time.
