] cites undergraduate research opportunitiesas a way to engage students from traditionally marginalized populations in STEM. Theseopportunities for students from traditionally underrepresented populations positively impact theirinterest in STEM, exposure to research, career aspirations, STEM identity and self-efficacy.Research experiences and other experiential learning formats are effective means for encouragingpersistence of underrepresented groups in STEM fields.Supporting students with disabilities in research and experiential learning activities is especiallychallenging. These experiences are generally unstructured and multi-faceted. Standardaccommodations made for students in a traditional classroom or teaching laboratory [8] –modifications

HCCS program participants work in a research laboratory setting withother students to develop and test technologies that are designed to enhance society. HCCSprogram participants also participate in research conferences and are thereby afforded theopportunity to write conference presentation proposals as well as lead and facilitate scholarlypresentations. The HCCS program participants also interact with faculty and students whileengaging in career development experiences. Additionally, HCCS students participate inmentoring experiences with undergraduate students as well as graduate students

At the start of their first spring semester students tour the CAR and learnabout its research groups and projects. Students, based on their interests and preferences, are thenmatched with a CAR mentor. Students are involved in research projects and have access toancillary services, facilities and support staff. Besides gaining laboratory experience, studentsworking at the CAR receive credit towards a degree and/or compensation. In addition, studentsgain authorship in journal articles, attend scientific conferences to present their results, andparticipate in a number of outreach

, upperclassmen wouldtutor and mentor freshman and sophomore students. Additionally, we witnessed a “giving back” philosophy in which freshmanstudents who were recipients of these services became mentors or tutors when they became juniors and seniors. Mentors and tutorswere employed by the project and paid an hourly wage.What also made this program fit into a student-type “learning community” was it was housed within its own facility located on themain campus. This was a large modular unit which became central to all program activities. This unit contained a student computerlaboratory, faculty digital media laboratory, tutoring center, conference room, and student meeting space. It was open to all STEMstudents and faculty. It essentially served as a
