) research experience program engagedminority middle-school girls in bio-char modified cement paste research experiences at anHBCU. Using a post-test and a self-reporting survey with open-ended questions, the purpose ofthis qualitative research was to gain insights into the learning experiences, self-efficacy, andpersistence of the 22 girls engaged in this STEAM program. Basic thematic data analysisinvolved coding, categorization, comparative analysis, and descriptive statistics.Results indicated that the girls increased in knowledge, self-efficacy, and persistence. The meanpost-test score was 78%. The content of STEAM presentations demonstrated that the girlslearned mostly from laboratory experiences and field trips. Self-efficacy improvements

Engineering at Technology. It is an opportunity for students and families to learnmore about different engineering programs. The event includes laboratory tours, as well asmeetings with current students, faculty, and the Office of Admissions. Faculty from variousdepartments open their labs and showcase their research. Other events are focused on hosting aspecific group of students, such as the Girl Scouts or the Verizon STEM Academy. Additionally,other groups are hosted specifically for laboratory tours, such as various high and middle schoolsfrom the area. The college also hosts an Open House, Scholar Day, Discover Engineers Week,Admitted Students Day, and Engineering Student Senior Design Expo. The open house is anevent in which teachers

research experiences were based on Lopatto’s criteria for “good research projects”:reasonable scope, feasible, generate data that students can present, not “cookbook” experiments,built-in difficulties, and multifaceted [8]. For the Spring 2018 semester, the CURE wasimplemented as four different manufacturing and service laboratory-type exercises and onegroup project.Preliminary results were collected in the form of pre- and post-surveys from the students. Duringthe third week of class, after which there were no drops or changes in enrollment, students wereinformed about their option to voluntarily participate in the data collection process. Two papersurveys were used: one in week 4 and one in week 15 of the semester. No reward of any kindwas

. 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. Although this particular study was on faculty biasagainst student
