The Minor will be highly informed by best practices for user-centered design,introducing opportunities for self-reflection, trial and error, and action-taking through a student-centered project-based learning approach that recognizes that students are in transition toadulthood. A robust stakeholder engagement process will be undertaken to align activities withgoals, involving three undergraduate mentors per year as co-designers and co-facilitators.Although the Minor will be open to all students with basic qualifications, unlike traditional minorsthat require

AreaStudent Internship ReadinessOur program was designed using high impact practices, such as open-ended problems, casestudies, individual and team assignments, real-world/real-data problems, authoring reports,preparing, and delivering presentations, and partnerships with industry. We start these in thefirst year, first semester, and continue them throughout their years of study. While they are notthrilled about these, they find that putting these experiences on their resumes has resulted in evenrising sophomores receiving offers for data science internships. Returning from their internships,they say: “The first thing they did was put me on a team and assign me an open-ended problem.Then, they had me write something up about it and create and give a

-Based Learning (RBL)” throughout the entirety of a four-year course.This is in contrast to the conventional model, which is well known for including RBL solelyin the final year of the graduation thesis project (see figure 1 below). The program begins tointroduce students to laboratory research from their first year, while providing an environment that enables them to pursue cutting-edge research, doing so directly underthe guidance of a supervisor, advisers, and graduate students. To ensure students gain the deep understanding needed for advanced research whileengaged in RBL, they will also study foundational natural science courses, requiredspecialized subjects, and other disciplines. We also encourage students to take Liberal

These could be a great motivator even for engineering students to encourageparticipation in mobility programs, in addition to the educational benefits. While earning studycredits is also an essential incentive, it is a secondary factor in encouraging their actions to travelabroad.RQ2: Regarding WA11GAP, mobility programs are great opportunities for team work,communication, and awareness of lifelong learning, which can be more effective to acquirethrough practice rather than traditional educational studies.RQ3: The most influential factor for participants' learning outcomes is

It also helps the institutionsdevelop and implement activities that support their recruitment, retention and graduation in STEM[7]. Many institutions have applied funds from this program either exclusively or along with otherfinancial resources to support academically talented low-income students.Although research supports the positive impact of financial support on recruitment, academicperformance, retention, and graduation rates of STEM students [6], [8]–[14], financial supportalone is not enough for student success and retention. In one S-STEM program, scholars rankedthe program components in terms of importance to them remaining in a STEM major. Although itis

The entire workshop was a highlight for both groups. Researchliterature suggests a gap in the reporting of multidisciplinary trips and their pedagogicalcomponents. Therefore, we present a process evaluation of trip implementations to examinetransferable best practices for researchers and faculty-led student practitioners. Studentssubmitted journals and
