Interviewquestions touched on several areas, including personal mentor experience, motivation andpractices as a mentor, structure of innovative programs, impacts and challenges of student ICPs,and suggestions to improve the student experience. Interviews were conducted remotely viavideo conferencing by two research team members, who were trained with uniform interviewobjectives and skills. Interviews were conducted independently at scheduled times and variedfrom 20-40 minutes in length. The complete recordings of the interviewee responses to thesequestions were transcribed into text and underwent an initial coding of analysis. We then focusedon analyzing our interviewed mentors

The goal is to graduate more students fromunderrepresented populations in an effort to ultimately diversify the engineering workforce.This paper describes this program’s unique implementation of a specific subset of retention bestpractices, such as facilitating (1) the development of both a feeling of institutional inclusion andengineering identity by providing opportunities for faculty-student and student-student interaction aswell as major and career exploration, (2) academic support, including support for the development ofbroader

Using examples from our analysis, we show and describe the steps taken toconstruct the model by jointly developing and combining three specific user-centered designtools (i.e., personas, scenarios, and landing zones) using an iterative, qualitative approach.Background and PurposeThere is a well-documented lag between the dissemination of educational research findings andthe application of evidence-based instructional strategies within STEM classrooms [NRC, 1,PCAST, 2, 3-5]. Moreover, STEM education scholars attest to a growing discontent within thefield related to the slow transfer of research-based innovations into education practice [6-9
