12.1487.112. Undergraduate Research Fellowships (original program, 2001)Up to fifteen fellowships are granted each year in both the USC College and in the USCViterbi School of Engineering to support summer and academic year research. The goal is tofamiliarize students with laboratory research and link them with a mentor early on. It ishoped that through the experience of first-hand research at the undergraduate level, thechances will increase that students will choose to pursue a graduate degree in science orengineering. Student recipients of the fellowship are expected to work on their researchproject at least 12 hours per week during the academic semester in which they receive theaward ($2,500). For the summer, the expectation is about 300 hours or

All girls learning environment, femalerole models/mentors, and engaging parents/guardians are crucial elements of the program.Offering a program on the university campus as opposed to at a local elementary/middle schoolmay pose challenges for some parents/guardians. However, seeing the university campus andspending time in the engineering laboratories are exciting for young girls. Offering theprogram on campus also makes it easier to find female engineering students who wouldvolunteer to be mentors and instructors for the program.In its sixth year, the demand for the program continues to be strong.

. StereotypeGender and racial bias which affects how we perceive and treat one another is shaped bycultural stereotypes. Despite a decline in explicit or self-reported bias, implicit or unconsciousbias remains widespread [2]. Babcock and Laschever [3] showed that even women themselveshold stereotypes about women and that women undervalue the work that they perform. A studyfound pervasive gender discrimination among science faculty where faculty were more likely tochoose a male candidate over a female candidate for a student science-laboratory position [4].In this case, both male and female scientists offered a higher salary to a male candidate thanthey did to an identical female candidate.
