. The program seeksto improve students’ competence and self-efficacy in science and engineering, stimulate an interestin pursuing STEM-related careers, and provide engaging “hands-on/mind-on activities.” Theprogram is divided into two initiatives which include an academic year and weekend academy. Atotal of 45 middle school students have participated in a 1-week Girls in Science Lab Camp andfive half-day Girls in Science and Engineering Weekend Academy activities. For the Girls inScience Lab program, the participants were divided into teams and assigned an environmentalscience and engineering themed case study to solve during guided laboratory experience. Studentswere taught how to collect and analyze water samples using university laboratory

opens new possibilities in nanotechnology, and other recent research holds exciting promise for energy-related applications. Dr. Dresselhaus’ public advocacy for women in engineering and science began in the mid-1970s, when the number of American women seeking undergraduate degrees in engineering began to rise. Recognizing this as an issue of great importance for the profession, Dr. Dresselhaus began actively speaking out in favor of women's access to careers in technology and science. Her unquestioned accomplishments in the laboratory and classroom gave her an unparalleled credibility in this national dialogue. Her 1975 article “Some Personal Views on Engineering Education for Women” (IEEE Transactions on

data. By engaging in these practices, the researchers were able to acknowledge – and to theextent that it was possible – separate their biases from the data they analyzed. Afterwards, theresearchers compiled their findings, and came to consensus with regards to this study’s findings.Findings Findings from this study illustrate that Black men in engineering graduate programsengage with their faculty advisors in various educational spaces, including communication inone-on-one meetings, interactions in the laboratory, and occasional casual conversations.Through these interactions with faculty advisors, students described encountering both positiveand negative experiences that shaped how they valued the advisor-advisee relationship
