Participatory Action Research Model that ultimatelyends with continual program enhancement. The structure of the initiative is not only based on the detailsof the schedule but also on the feedback of the participants. The lack of URMs in the college provokedan idea from personal experiences at other minority events. With the use of a systematic onlinedocument review of current weekend outreach programs, a plan of action was developed, and effectiveprogram designs were synthesized.Based on the systematic review of similar programs, the current plan is to implement a program inFebruary of 2020 that will target about 30 participants. Mentees will be able to connect with multipleorganizations such as the VEX robotics club, the National Society of Black
areprovided novel lesson plans and materials for two hands-on activities that can be used in their K-12 classrooms. Graduate students from eleven engineering and science departments collaborate todevelop these materials and ensure they meet the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).Teachers earn continuing education credits for attending. REACT is an opportunity not only forteachers to learn about the cutting-edge research happening at University of Michigan, but alsoserves as a professional development tool for graduate students, giving them the opportunity towork on science communication skills as well as participate in curricula development. Theprogram has also developed a unique funding model, where university professors and departmentssponsor
written, semester after semester. This is both great, and bad. These othernon-writing activities are fantastic and probably more effectual at changing the system most days. Butgraduate student funding eventually dries up, graduate students are not equally listened to and creditedwhen they take on service and activist roles, and graduate school is frankly a difficult place with highworkload and low pay that you don’t want to stay forever. Figuring out what you need to do to get out ofhere (i.e., how to get the writing done) is not the whole game, but it’s one part of it.So, take some time and map out what your strengths and weaknesses are. Be honest with yourself aboutit. Start to work out some plans for how to combat those weaknesses. How will
, whois a senior faculty member, this mentoring program has been evolved and expanded over many years upto a point where it has become a very effective and helpful system for both the incoming and the outgoingundergraduate students [7].School of Engineering, Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico (PUPR), Puerto RicoSeven (7) fulltime faculty members offer mentoring. Each mentor is assigned certain number of studentsand receives compensation for up to two (2) credit hours per semester. Students with eighty (80) or moreapproved credit hours are assigned a mentor for discussing their career plans, progress in the academicprograms, optimal or alternative choices for course selection, and so on [8]. In addition, the office ofStudent Development and
significant with a t-test result of 2.9 at an alphavalue of 0.05.The authors plan to use these practices in two other courses over the next three years. Thesecourses are: Airport Engineering and Civil Engineering Materials. The practices can be used inother courses, degree programs, and schools with appropriate modifications in order todecrease the learning gap.References[1] Wince-Smith, Deborah L.,”The Creativity Imperative: A National Perspective”, PeerReview, Vol 8.

students commented:“usually after class on Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I'm in there [in class] for agood two hours maybe for the whole day. And then I just go home and study for four hoursstraight”-ReedOn the other hand, some students didn’t plan when to study, or schedule it, but rather completedit between completing other tasks and seemed to be completing studying between other tasks,without necessarily dedicating a clear time slot: “I would take whatever time I had during the dayto study outside of class”-Hoa. Other students completed their studying between classes, forexample: “I have a break, and classes don't start till 12:30, so usually I'll do some mathhomework or something in that time.”-JenniferTime in Labs and LecturesWe
