potential studentconcerns. The findings suggest that minority organizations play a key role in providinginformation and influencing students’ decisions. University programs and advisors can helpstudents make informed decisions about undergraduate work experiences by understanding thesources and types of information that students seek and value. This work also contributes tobroader understanding in engineering around the potential role of co-ops in efforts to broadenparticipation and increase retention of underrepresented minority students in the engineeringprofession.IntroductionDespite numerous calls to increase diversity and inclusion in the Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce, African American, Latinx, Native

In some STEM disciplines, postdoctoral employment is a prerequisitestep toward tenure track faculty positions. The National Science Foundation defines postdoctraining as “a temporary and defined period of mentored advanced training to enhance theprofessional skills and research independence” [3]. According to the National ScienceFoundation Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED), between 1985 and 2013, around 22% ofengineering PhDs indicated postdocs as their plan upon obtaining the degree. In engineering, thenumber of postdocs more than doubled from 2000 to 2010, making

workforce as educated engineers and scientists capable of continuing the growth of theindustry. As technologies advance, the manufacturing and scientific processes involved canbecome more difficult, and it can be hard to develop quick, simple demonstrations for student labclasses.One example of this is in the field of electrostatic propulsion. In electrostatic propulsion, a lowmass flow rate of propellant is accelerated to high exhaust velocities using electrostatic fields.Gridded ion thrusters and Hall thrusters are the two most common electrostatic propulsiondevices, but these can be difficult to build and operate in standard workshops, particularly whenconcerning grids for ion thrusters and the ceramic annular channel in Hall thrusters.
