Internet file server was established at a buzzsaw.com site created to serve the designindustry. This site was chosen for the project as a file server to retain all the documents relatedto the project. It was a secure file server and only users that were registered by the projectadministrators were allowed access to the site. It was primarily used as to store and tradeorganizational files for the project such as internal planning documents, grant requests, budgetworksheets and inventory control. A useful feature of the site was that it was not merely a fileserver, but rather an interactive file server. Each posted file contained a comment section whereproject participants could annotate the documents with background information or relatedcomments

Unfortunately, only 25% of underrepresented students who declarea STEM major earn undergraduate degrees in STEM, compared to 50% for all undergraduatestudents.

Laboratory exercises will culminate in semesterresearch projects. The students will conduct small research studies in groups, ideally withstudents from diverse STEM disciplines working together as a team. The primary objective ofthis design is that students from different STEM disciplines act as peer mentors. For example,projects involving velocity profiles and pressure profiles of fluid flow systems may be easier toconceptualize by the engineering students, and these students can provide mentoring tobiological sciences students.

During that period, students had to imagine whatkind of experiments they wanted to perform, they had to clarify objectives and selectlaboratory material, doing the necessary research. Written plans with the description of theexperiments, their objectives and corresponding laboratory material were delivered to theinstructor. After the instructor analyzed the plans, they were discussed with each team in order toclarify or modify some of the proposals.
