Engineering educatorswork to identify the most appropriate curricular approaches to address these outcomes withintheir programs [2], [3].Internships or co-op experiences as well as capstone design projects are some ways in whichschools can address these important student outcomes in their curriculum. When incorporatingthese high impact experiences into a curriculum, research has also shown that internships thatdirectly relate to the academic program provide higher internship satisfaction and a higherperceived relevance to student’s career development [4].

graduate study and HPC careers byengaging them in exciting and meaningful research experiences and by cultivating their talentsduring their summer experiences and beyond. To address this project goal, our REU sitepursued three objectives: 1) Engage a total of 10 students annually from traditionally underrepresented groups or from colleges and universities with limited research opportunities, immersing these students in ongoing research projects in HPC-related engineering fields. 2) Cultivate talented students to effectively plan, conduct, and communicate scientific research through meaningful and engaging research projects, close and effective mentoring, weekly group meetings, mentor training, and public presentations. 3

One research study conductedhighlighted that many college students have anxiety when it comes to solving simple additionand subtraction problems. Within this study, the researcher noted that research participants hadvarying emotions when responding to given math problems ranging from sadness to happiness[1]. The goal of this study was to examine math anxiety in varying scenarios, not solelyacademic related. Participants of Ashcraft’s [1] study had to determine whether a mathematicalstatement was accurate. Higher levels of math anxiety resulted in an increase of errors whilelower levels of math anxiety resulted in a decrease of mistakes

When these recommendations are usedconsistently across the discipline, students will have a clear understanding of appropriate ethicalbehaviors and future engineers will be better prepared to work competently and ethically in thefield.Fantastic cheats – modern technology-driven cheatingA wide body of research studies indicate that

One style of mentorship that is commonly used with undergraduate students ishaving a professor or faculty member as a mentor. These faculty mentor relationships haveconsistently been shown to have a positive correlation with grade point average and overallundergraduate academic success [11]. Furthermore, informal student-faculty interactions havebeen discovered to have a distinct effect on the attitudes and interests of the student and has beenshown to enhance a student’s learning experience and satisfaction with an institution [12]. Oneof the main limitations of faculty mentorship, however, is that it often has to be initiated by thestudent [13]. Brittian et al
