Since its inception, more than 300 minority studentshave received PhD degrees in science or engineering at {institution withheld}, ten percent ofwhich entered academia as direct beneficiaries of FACES, and ten of which received meritoriousyoung investigator awards.11A key aspect of the FACES program is the extensive use of mentoring and enrichment activities.Monthly enrichment seminars expose FACES fellows to training in traditionally pivotal topicssuch as grant writing, interviewing skills, and research ethics; as well as more recentlyhighlighted social sensitivities such as work-family balance and effective networking within

Science Foundation S-STEM (Scholarshipsin Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) grants on undergraduate minorityengineering transfer student retention and development during the period 2007-13 in the Collegeof Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The programs were designed toovercome known barriers to persistence of transfer students from community college, includinglack of engagement on campus, underdeveloped professional work ethic and goals, deficientstudy habits, fewer opportunities to gain practical competence/reflection on learning, andworking for pay. The elements of the programs included cohorting, team-building, mentoring,tutoring, and advising, as well as monetary support in the form of scholarships

I used“Analytical Memos” to help me think through the data and use them to help me analyze thedata48.Reliability and ValidityAccording to Creswell49, triangulation is “the process of corroborating evidence from different[…] types of data […] in descriptions and themes in qualitative research” (p. 259). Theresearcher than examines each type of data to find evidence to support the theme49. I collectedthree different data types for this study: individual interviews, group interviews, and artifacts.These types of data were used to triangulate to validate my finding
