The teams are large (10 to 20 undergraduatesper semester) and the long-term projects (at least 5 years) are based on an externally fundedresearch topic that is aligned with the faculty mentor’s field of interest. In terms of methodology,each VIP team follows a project-based cohort

The advantage to assigning all new students a mentor is thatstudents who do not feel comfortable asking for help, or who do not initially perceive a need formentoring, have ready access to a mentor when a need arises.Mentor Recruitment and BenefitsPeer mentors are recruited on a volunteer basis and are unpaid, which is different from someother programs that may provide a salary, stipend, or other financial compensation. The peermentor program uses forms of non-monetary compensation and benefits, such as mentor-specifictraining and access to exclusive events and activities. For example, the mentors benefited from aprivate resume workshop presented by Career

Alongwith research and student development, the main goal was to make a positive impact on studentlearning in STEAM through fun and engaging hands-on activities and challenges. Through theseactivities these younger students could perceive STEAM as something inspiring and fun andattainable; as the means to envision a career within the STEAM disciplines.We identified the activities, challenges, and expected outcomes but we had to design a structurethat could adapt and be flexible and scalable for both camps and for future Tech-E summercamps.

A byproduct of these competitions is to create an intimidatingatmosphere that rewards young adults who are already proficient in computer IT activities, but adiscouraging environment to students who may have burgeoning interests in cybersecurity.Additionally, the skill set needed for cybersecurity

pursuing environmental justice for these communities is urgent. Many URMfaculty engage in CER and work to help their communities, and these faculty are seen as trustedallies to enhance the adoption of EnvE technology [24],[25],[26]. CER requires intrinsicallymore holistic approaches that challenge the typical engineering culture that views itself as expert,technophilic, depoliticized, and disengaged from public welfare [27],[28],[29]. Evidencesuggests that URMWF who utilize CER methods often have the rigor of their scholarly activitiesquestioned or discounted as service [30], which can have deleterious consequences for early andmid-career faculty. Thus, it is of concern that research methodology and focus choices might addto other biased practices
