The teams are large (10 to 20 undergraduatesper semester) and the long-term projects (at least 5 years) are based on an externally fundedresearch topic that is aligned with the faculty mentor’s field of interest.

The advantage to assigning all new students a mentor is thatstudents who do not feel comfortable asking for help, or who do not initially perceive a need formentoring, have ready access to a mentor when a need arises.Mentor Recruitment and BenefitsPeer mentors are recruited on a volunteer basis and are unpaid, which is different from someother programs that may provide a salary, stipend, or other financial compensation. The peermentor program uses forms of non-monetary compensation and benefits, such as mentor-specifictraining and access to exclusive events and activities.

Alongwith research and student development, the main goal was to make a positive impact on studentlearning in STEAM through fun and engaging hands-on activities and challenges. Through theseactivities these younger students could perceive STEAM as something inspiring and fun andattainable; as the means to envision a career within the STEAM disciplines.We identified the activities, challenges, and expected outcomes but we had to design a structurethat could adapt and be flexible and scalable for both camps and for future Tech-E summercamps.

This 2013 student survey commentregarding the course objectives is typical of the some of the feelings evident: “If the courseaimed to waste my time it certainly succeeded”.
