The application is more unique byincorporating a research project design that includes students working with a faculty at theirhome institution as well as collaborating with a second faculty at another university campus.This two-campus design allows the student high-impact interactions with multiple faculty andgraduate students, as well as promotes new faculty collaborations.

Students hadacquired a sense of belonging and were more motivated to continue to be enrolled in engineeringcourses. One key aspect was that students were highly interested in conducting research which inturn they had already contacted some of the faculty members by the beginning of week one ofthe fall quarter. One student stated, “he allowed me to join his research even though I wasn'tofficially settled into school yet”. It appeared that their motivation level had seen an increasefrom when they initially attended the one-week program in comparison to their first week ofbeing enrolled at a four-year
