Thefellows must then meet with their mentor to develop a professional development plan (PDP) thatfocuses on areas of teaching, research, and/or outreach that have been identified as needingimprovement. As a part of their plan, fellows can interview faculty, shadow administrators,participate in faculty meetings, present a paper at a conference, or participate in predefinedactivities designed to teach them about the professoriate. Fellows submit a monthly report ofactivities completed as a part of the program. At the conclusion of the program, each fellow willhave completed an electronic portfolio detailing his or her work, developed separate teaching andresearch

briefly present the salient features of the IFYEP model as manifestedin a pilot program at SBC.IMPLEMENTATION OF IFYEPFor purposes of comparison, we briefly indicate the structure of the first semester at SBC beforethe implementation of the IFYEP. Students typically had a fixed schedule of classes their firstsemester, with some divergence (depending upon degree plan) taking place in the secondsemester. For example, first semester students take courses in student success (PSYC 100),computer skills (CSCI 101), composition (ENGL 110), and math (MATH 099 thru 103) inalignment with their placement test. The classes and the instructors more or less operatedindependently, with few students ending up in multiple classes together.The development of the

In this regard, two open-ended questions were utilized to inquireabout the disposition from the faculty advisor to proactively identify and recruit engineeringstudents into the research group. The questions posed on the survey were the following: 1. Prior to receiving an invitation to participate in research, did you have a good relationship with the instructor? 2. Did at any point prior to receiving an invitation to participate in research, did the instructor ask you about your short or long-term plans?In the process of performing undergraduate research, the faculty member serves as

This is in line with a previous study by the Departments of Engineering whichindicated that approximately 50% of freshman engineering students do not pass to thesophomore year of study. The results also showed that the retention rate for the School ofTechnology was 56.8%. Furthermore, the graduation rate for minorities needed to be increased.For example, out of 34 baccalaureate degrees issued in Engineering fields during the 2005-2006academic year, there were only five minority students - two African American, two

More specifically, our findings suggest that the “lens” – the methodsof data collection in a study and the units of analysis – does impact principal study findings, evenfrom the same undergraduate population. Given that the findings of our study were used to drivestrategic planning for diversity and inclusion efforts at our institution, we caution against relyingon a single methodology – however consistent the findings appear to be with existing literature –to set your course of action and/or generalize to larger populations. We most strongly advise amixed methods approach
