. Undergraduate research is a way of focusing and guiding the undergraduate experience,rather than solely serving as a preparation for graduate school, and is a major opportunity todemonstrate to accreditation agencies and other organizations that students are performing atenhanced levels. [5]Undergraduate research programs are held on numerous colleges and universities nationally. Asubstantial number of universities have begun to realize that undergraduate research is a realasset, thus they are identifying more resources and expanding opportunities to involve morestudents.

Over eight consecutiveweeks, these groups met and each participant built their own teaching portfolio. The programwas completely voluntary; participants did not receive course credit or compensation for theirparticipation.We designed a qualitative, ethnographic research study9 to formatively evaluate the EngineeringTeaching Portfolio Program and to understand the meaning of the program for its participants.Consistent with ethnographic approaches, we collected data from a variety of sources in order toenhance the rigor, or trustworthiness of our results9.

This decline, coupled with the continuedglobalization of our economic markets, bears serious implications for the economicdevelopment and prosperity of the nation. The national decline in engineering degreeshas been greater for minorities. In a recent national study, only two of five minoritystudents who enroll in engineering programs graduate with a baccalaureate degree inengineering, as compared to two of three non-minority students [5]. Another nationalstudy found that 54 percent of students entering four-year colleges in 1997 had a degreesix years later, with an even lower percentage for Hispanics and Blacks [6]. To
