LSAMP scholars werementored and supported for opportunities to attend and to present their research, via poster ororal presentations, at conferences in local and national arenas.Many SUNY LSAMP Alliance institutions conducted Summer Research Institutes. Theseprograms were carefully planned to include both pre-freshman and undergraduates. Theundergraduate programs had a duration of six to ten weeks. These included research placementsand a variety of professional training, graduate school preparation, training for research,community building and service activities. In

, defined as the knowledge and regulation of one’s own cognitive processes, iscritically important to student learning and particularly instrumental in problem-solving. Despitethe importance of metacognition, much of the research has occurred in controlled researchsettings such that much less is known about how to help students develop metacognitive skills inclassroom settings. Further, there are significant bodies of research on the role of metacognitionin writing and solving math problems, but little work has been done on the role of metacognitionwithin engineering disciplines. As part of a larger project to generate transferable tools that canbe used to teach and evaluate undergraduate engineering students’ metacognitive skills, we aredeveloping

These reflections play an important rolein helping students understand the importance of valuing diversity in engineering teams

In addition to providingscholarship for twenty promising students, the S-STEM grant allowed a team of faculty frommultiple disciplines to develop and test new student support mechanisms and programs at theengineering technology programs in an urban large public university with a diverse studentpopulation. The goal of the program is to enrich and enhance students experience during theirhigher-education tenure and ensure their success after they graduate and join the professionalworkforce by preparing them to be technically competent and professionally ready

In some sections of the experimental US1100classes, a design project was completed after design theory was taught. Introducing students todesign early on in their academic careers has been shown to help students develop crucial skillsthat they would need throughout the remainder of their education and well into their career, suchas critical thinking, working effectively in teams, and technical
