students by combining laboratory experiencewith weekly instructional seminars in an attempt to foster future success in graduateschool. This approach was designed and implemented for a ten-week summer researchexperience program for undergraduate students. The weekly instructional seminar seriesaddressed research skills in three key areas: communication, investigation, anddocumentation. The seminar series began with the “Communications Seminars,” where studentparticipants learned how to concisely explain their research topics through an ‘elevatortalk’ activity, a common exercise utilized in business fields. Followed by “InvestigationSeminars,” that addressed conducting literature reviews and creating annotatedbibliographies. Instructions on

The department was growing andexperiential learning student internships at a local civil engineering company orgovernment entity were difficult to obtain for rising seniors and graduate students. TheChair asked if the laboratory could accommodate two or three internships during summer1991. ERDC made an on the spot commitment to accommodate up to ten experientiallearning internships during the summer of 1991. This conversation initiated a summerexperiential learning research internship program, thriving to this day.Summer Experiential Learning Research InternshipsThe recruiting

She is also interested in developing interfaces with univer- sal access to assist in the learning of programming languages. In 2007, she received a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship to complete her doctorate, which permitted her to pursue her interests in biomedical informatics in collaboration with medical professors at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. In 2008, her paper, ”Visualizing Multivariate Time Series Data to Detect Specific Medical Conditions”, was nominated for the Best Student Paper Award at AMIA 2008.Dr. Renetta G. Tull

the future of theengineering profession3. Companies striving to stay in business for generations push theenvelope of technology; this is where innovation and new perspectives are crucial. Forexample, most people are motivated to develop products that will have an impact on herself,himself, or someone they love. For example, a team of women designing cars think about wherethe in-car light is located, and for childcare and safety reasons, situate it near the floor instead ofits common location in the dome of the car4. This suggests that similar people with similarexperiences will conceive a subset of product ideas relating to their subset of experiences.

As a major component ofambassador programs, peer mentoring is recognized as an impactful mechanism for academicsuccess and retention4,5.The perspective of ambassadors who are immersed in the day-to-day activities of mentoringcould provide significant value to our understanding of students’ needs. Ambassadors’perspectives may provide rich opportunities to design a comprehensive program that is directlymatched to the students’ needs, since ambassadors can be fully immersed in the program as it isdelivered. Additionally, ambassadors serve as trusted “indigenous” members of the peer-mentoring community and are able to observe student

Understanding these potentialdifferences may enable university administrators and faculty to educate and support thesestudents in relevant ways that enhance their ability to succeed.This analysis was drawn from a larger study that employed interdisciplinary, mixed-methods toidentify factors contributing to the successful retention and graduation of under-represented andunder-served minority engineering students at a predominately white research institution. URMengineering students participated in face-to-face interviews designed to engage them in reflectionand discussion of their lived experiences as engineering students. From this

Mentoring can be especially essential for underrepresentedundergraduate students pursuing STEM degrees. Mentoring relationships provide students with apositive environment that can lead to networking opportunities and career opportunities after graduation,but only recently has research been conducted to fully understand the best practices of mentoringrelationships.Based on previous studies conducted, 82.4% reported positive outcomes for mentees.6 Students whohad a mentoring relationship usually had higher retention rates and

(p. 156-157)Taken together, these three sets of critics point out major methodological flaws in using pipelineas a metaphor for structuring research studies: • Most studies do not articulate what counts as a “successful” scientific or engineering career. Must a person remain in the same profession for her entire working life for her to be considered “in” the pool? Or might there be more “kinds” of scientific-related careers that should “count” than that of bench scientist or design engineer?18 • Assuming that “gender effects” on career choices can be studied

These strategieshave been widely incorporated into classes such as anatomy and physiology8, biology 9,10,mathematics11, business marketing12, among many others. Applications of these techniques ininterdisciplinary programs spanning from science to engineering are still lacking.
