advisorThe second segment of the administered survey targeted the implementation of the IBIEE modelcomponents to recruit students. In this regard, two open-ended questions were utilized to inquireabout the disposition from the faculty advisor to proactively identify and recruit engineeringstudents into the research group. The questions posed on the survey were the following: 1. Prior to receiving an invitation to participate in research, did you have a good relationship with the instructor? 2. Did at any point prior to receiving an invitation to participate in research, did the instructor ask you about your short or long-term plans?In the process of performing undergraduate research, the faculty member serves as

For the HS students who complete WRAMP, they will also get $500towards any summer program at the university and may become a WPS Summer Scholar thatcan attend a summer program for free each year. In regards to WRAMP being a recruitmentstrategy for WPI, 8 out of the 13 WRAMP high school women that are old enough to apply tocollege did so (which is a 60% yield and surpasses national averages). Two of them wereadmitted, but did not enroll. One stated it was due to financial reasons. We are investigating howwe might provide more support for WRAMP and WPS high school students to be accepted toWPI. Many of the WRAMP participants have yet to graduate from high school and we plan totrack them if they apply to

course.IntroductionAs universities strive to graduate engineering students who can make an impact on society,engineering leadership programs have become more prominent. The National Academy ofEngineering [1] as well as various engineering professional societies highlight the importance ofleadership skills in engineering [2-6]. This trend is reinforced by the newly approved ABETCriteria for the 2019-20 review cycle that includes “the ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership … establish goals, plans tasks, and meet objectives”[7]. With these ABET changes come questions about how to assess leadership. Because theconversation among educators on developing leadership in engineering students is growing, thisresearch seeks to
