USAbstractThe science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields are characterized bydisproportionately lower participation by women and underrepresented minorities, particularly ingraduate school. The United States population and workforce are becoming increasingly morediverse, yet underrepresentation in STEM fields persists. Broadening participation in STEMgraduate education can both increase diversity in the STEM workforce and productivity ofresearch labs, since research has shown that more diverse research teams are more productivethan those who are homogeneous.This paper examines how an interdisciplinary graduate traineeship approach can stimulatediscovery, educational benefits, and workforce development, and also recruit, retain, and

Activities that require spatial ability includenavigation, mental rotation, and perception of objects. In this paper we define spatial ability as aquantification of a measurement of spatial thinking.Students who have high spatial ability have demonstrated higher levels of success in academiacompared to their peers, especially in areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) [3]–[5].
