students from their labs or thelabs of their colleagues. At this time, graduate student volunteers who previously volunteered arecontacted and invited to participate. Past volunteers are also asked to suggest names of othergraduate students who may be interested in volunteering. Ideally, this results in a group of four tosix dedicated graduate student volunteers who will work together to plan the outreach event. Onthe first day of the conference, the conference organizers also make an announcement asking foradditional volunteers. Graduate students who volunteer the day of the event take on a smallerrole of escorting students between sessions or helping with the design and build activity. A set ofprofessional volunteers is required for a Faculty

Engineering Education Studies looking into the reasons students complete or leave a major, indicated students wholeft STEM-related majors had negative learning experiences, whereas students with intentions topursue a career in science persisted despite the negative experiences [19].MyCollegeOptions.com, a popular free college-planning program, did a survey of high schoolstudents that showed increased interest in STEM. Since 2007, White, Hispanic and NativeAmerican interest has increased while African American has remained constant and AsianAmerican interest has gone up and down. Figure 4 shows percentage of interested parties bygraduating classes from 2007-2016. As interest in STEM increases, the hope is more URMs willcontinue to pursue their

all of those aero classes on top of each other.Miguel goes on to describe how financial obligations forced him to work during undergradinstead of getting recommended volunteer experience in his field: Once I determined that it was going to be my major I knew what classes I needed to take, I knew what courses I needed to pass and what grades I needed to get to graduate really – that was the plan. The only kind of confusion that I had which I am currently figuring out now is the route of medical school versus graduate school. That’s the big decision as an undergrad I didn’t make right away and after I graduated I worked for a couple of years, now I’m back deciding really what I want to do for the rest of my

the literature, we were not able to find papers about funding workshops or the evaluation offunding workshops, but we were able to find two extremely useful resources online that wewould like to share. The first resource was Dr. Robin Walker’s GRFP Essay Insights Website atthe University of Missouri (http://grfpessayinsights.missouri.edu/). At this website, we found arubric for students to self-evaluate the quality of their essays that we plan to incorporate to ourfuture workshops. The second resource is hosted on the website of Kappa Delta Pi, theInternational Honor Society in Education. It is a presentation by the Director of Retention andRecruiting at Texas A&M University, Megan Palsa, and can be found at the following website:http

In summary thisresearch was planned to include the following elements: Developing a frame work for collaboration Formulating a selectively random study group to enhance the interaction between students of different backgrounds and educational performances Breaking the cohort of like minded students or students of similar performance level Engaging and managing a big class in a small university context Improving the performance of minority students and fostering sense of belonging among the students of all kinds Investigating quantitatively as well as qualitatively the effectiveness of selectively

involved and engaged in practical STEM activities. Develop CBI materials considering the introductory level of the course in order to promote interest to pursue STEM careers. The materials developed for this course could be modified to include more or less content to be used in other courses at UTPA as well as at STC, and in other institutions, such as in the Introduction to Engineering, Statics, Introduction to Mechatronics, and Dynamics courses. Guide students to consider different STEM career options and to study the degree plans of different careers to understand their requirements and to correlate them with the professional opportunities that might be available after graduation

Most instances of HSE function asafterschool programs, and teacher-coaches are paid for their coaching and mentorship just asthose who direct afterschool athletics. Students on HSE teams work on projects that are selected Page 22.539.2by the coach and team and that have local significance for the students and their community.These projects can continue from one academic year to the next. In the course of their HSEexperience, the students write business plans, solve real-world

engineering faculty provided support, HBCU and HSIstudents‘ responses varied. HBCU students were more likely to report that their facultyprovided support through career preparation and planning, often suggesting that studentsprepare for graduate school, internships, cooperative experiences and other opportunitiesoutside of the classroom. ―I think the faculty provides support because they're the ones that have allthe information about… the different graduate schools. And a lot of them havebeen to certain graduate schools. That can really help me out in the future, like if Iwant to know, like, „hey, you've been here, how was your experience,‟ do you thinkthat would be a nice place for me to go, and different things like that.” – Russell,HBCU-1

I mean, this is really her work anyway.” When Melissa demurs, Taffy contacts Jordan to talk about it, and they develop a plan together that prioritizes Jordan’s concerns.We suggest dialogue as a first step to developing enduring accomplice relationships becausedirect dialogue with BIPOC is perhaps the only way to begin to understand the situationalcomplexities and priorities of colleagues.

For any value of a the origin is an equilibrium point. Itseigenvalue is equal to a, so it is stable for a < 0 and unstable for a > 0. For a > 0 there aretwo equilibrium points at ±√a. Both these equilibrium points have eigenvalue −2a so theequilibrium points are stable. A bifurcation occurs at a = 0 since at this value, theequilibrium point at the origin changes its stability type and two new equilibrium pointsare created. Hence it is called a

Likert scale and analysis are used to determine API as a composite effectof academic performance. For the Likert scale to measure API, an interval scale is used. In thiscase, the data also used numbers to indicate order and relative distance between points on thescale.The project is heavily data driven, from planning and implementation to completion. This paperpresents the results of some of the surveys administered and summarized by an externalevaluator on the final day of class to assess students’ responses to different aspects of theprogram, the following assessments were made:  Weekly Reflection assessments-Student survey to weekly perceptions through the six- week duration of the program.
