Bothstipends and research experiences were rated as important aspects of the program. The MNT-CURN to START model demonstrates how a longitudinal approach to undergraduate researchprepares students for research projects of increasing complexity and leads to more impactfuloutcomes for the students and success in retaining community college students in STEM. In thispaper, we report on practices employed in the MNT-CURN and START programs as well

The variety of material possibilities also suggests an abductive approach.The authors conclude with guidance, including the importance of emphasizing social aspects ofthe project. Indeed, for first year design projects, when students may have highly variedbackground experiences and limited technical knowledge, sociotechnical projects still provideaccessible ways to gain experience with framing design problems.
