traditional classroom. A large number of studentspursue undergraduate research, service-learning, and even study abroad experiences, receivingacademic credit documented on a transcript. Students value these experiences even though theircredit hours during these semesters are higher than their peers. University leadership sees valuein micro-credential programs in terms of revenue and professional development opportunities forstudents, staff, faculty, and alumni. Micro-credentials and digital badges have gained popularityin recent years as ways for higher education institutions to provide competencies, knowledge,and skills quickly and effectively, especially when the needs of the workforce change faster thanthe curriculum. However, a recent development

These first-timeundergraduate researchers are recruited from various universities and bring with them diverseexperiences based on their backgrounds. The REU program is designed to prepare students forgraduate studies by immersing participants in a authentic research conducted within a tier oneresearch facility alongside graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research staff, and faculty.The program also provides career development workshops on applying to graduate school,writing personal statements, developing a professional network, working in academia andindustry as well as creating graduate level research products (i.e., posters, presentations, andpapers).The Natural

active research, and observing how other professionals interacted withone another. By working with other professionals and being treated as a peer, the RS students weregiven an opportunity to envision themselves as young professionals, hopefully motivating them tocontinue and finish their collegiate STEM educations through these contacts [21]. As rising juniors, the students were encouraged to undertake their own self-directed researchprojects under the guidance of the Principal Investigator. This pre-capstone experience wasdesigned to help them to gain marketable problem-solving skills, aiding them in securing anentry-level professional position [22], [23]. Technical writing ability, a highly sought-afterprofessional skill, was emphasized

This paper will also focus on the continued use of remote internshipsand experiential opportunities as a High Impact Practice to engage students at an urban commuter universityacross all majors.BackgroundHigh Impact Practices (HIPs) have been shown to be effective in retention, persistence, and overall studentsuccess [1-5]. These practices include activities such as undergraduate research, service learning, experientiallearning opportunities, internships, study abroad, collaborative projects and writing intensive courses. Theseactivities have been found to be very beneficial for underrepresented students. Institutional resources,curriculums and student body demographics limit the effectiveness of the

develop a detailed roadmap outlining project goals,timelines, and required resources. Advisors assist students in identifying potential fundingsources and provide guidance on writing grant proposals or seeking sponsorships. Recruitment isanother area where advisors play a crucial role, helping students reach out to potential teammembers and ensuring the formation of a diverse and inclusive group. In the training phase,advisors provide mentorship and knowledge-sharing opportunities, equipping students with thenecessary skills for successful project execution. Peer-to-peer training offers senior teammembers a chance to share acquired knowledge and experience from participating in the SIGwith junior team members. In the prototyping and deployment

: Your Research Communication ExperienceWe are interested in hearing about your previous research communication experience. Do notworry if you do not have previous experience.4. Describe a prior experience you have had COMMUNICATING research to your peers, your family or your communities. The research you communicated could be yours or that of another researcher. If you have had no such experiences, please write NONE in the box, and skip to the next page.5. In the experience you described, how active or passive was your role in planning/directing the communications and selecting the medium (i.e., essay, podcast, video, poster), where very passive means carrying out instructions given to you by someone else?

withacademic learning but also an integration of learning from both domains (Zegwaard & Coll,2011). WIL internships offer students a foundation to expand their discipline knowledge andutilize skills with guidance from a supervisor and peers (Patrick et al., 2008) In the Frenchengineering curriculum, students delve deeply into mathematics and physics, a characteristicnot commonly found in other systems (Chatzis, 2010; Lemaître, 2017) The rigorous nature ofthese courses often posed challenges for students. However, through internships, studentscame to realize that their scientific studies had laid a strong foundation for their training,providing them with a broad base from which to explore various fields of study. 'It was atraining of the mind and

education system.This paper looks across three qualitative studies during the work-based experiences (WBEs) ofeleven undergraduate computer engineering and information technology systems students fromgroups traditionally underrepresented in STEM. In this paper, WBEs are defined as paidengagements for students as they work on solving real-world problems, while performing tasksand projects in partnership with an employer or community partner. Three types of WBEs arerepresented: internships (Study 1), apprenticeships (Study 2), and company employees (Study 3).All three studies used the Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) methodology which hasbeen established in 80 studies worldwide and over a dozen peer-reviewed publications.
