ofresearch, (4) an interactive tour of the conference hardware competition which provides concreteexamples of cutting edge research, (5) a small group Q&A with graduate students engaged inresearch, and finally (6) a panel discussion with diverse research faculty committed to post-secondary engineering education. The challenges associated with this approach to outreach, theadvantages of incorporating a STEM intervention into a technical research conference, andsuccessful methods for locating a group of underserved students are discussed. In addition, thescale and impact of the intervention are evaluated through open-ended and quantitative surveys.The survey results document the positive student reaction to this intervention. The positivestudent

Further separation of Amotivation was not done in theoriginal study and so it remains its own subscale with 4 corresponding items. Motivation ismeasured by the Academic Motivation Scale which is created from the aggregation of the sevensubscales. (see Appendix A; Q2: 1-10, Q3: 1-10, Q4: 1-8).

And there are typically 15 students in “Introductionto Control Systems”. The “Introduction to Engineering” lecture was shown to students at thebeginning of the class. Even though the video lecture covered the same slides containing thesame information which was presented in a normal lecture on this subject, the video lecture tookless time to view, allowing time for a Q&A session and comments from students.For the second video lecture, students were given a copy of the video to view at theirconvenience, at a time and place of their own choosing and in a setting of their own choosing

, students requested that a detailed map with directions be sentelectronically to them before the start of the program to ensure they could locate the check-in/registration area. One final recommendation was to make the program longer in order tofacilitate the peer building process (four days was too rushed). Finally, a student expressedconcern that the program overlapped with the freshman priority enrollment time. The studentcould never fully relax during the program because he/she was worried about not getting theclasses of his/her choice. Feedback from the participants about the various workshops consistently reported not havingenough question and answer (Q&A) time. Students were left with lingering thoughts andquestions about each workshop
