The extended laboratory research experience allowed the students to form an in-depth understanding of a critical infrastructure research challenge related to their academicmajors. The students’ daily schedule, then, consisted of spending mornings and early afternoonsin their primary lab and afternoons in their laboratory rotation. Primary laboratory experienceswere facilitated both by a graduate student and a faculty mentor. The rotations lasted for oneweek, which maintained student interest that can often be lost while

Social emotions, or emotionsrelated or directed towards other persons, have been found to directly impact how studentsengage with academic tasks [10]. This is exacerbated in traditional teacher-student situations aswell as peer-to-peer situations, which can ultimately cause these students to steer away fromacademic-centered interactions [10]. This type of disengagement could be paramount in thesocial and academic integration issues often found within Black engineering students. Emotionscan play an integral part in the experiences that Black graduate students will have navigatingengineering environments, especially amongst the racialized barriers that are faced.Racialized experiences for

This concept was conceived within thecontext of university research, with faculty members mentoring the students working in theirlaboratories. The literature suggests that anyone “self-motivated to enroll” in skills training on thefollowing six mentoring competencies can become an effective mentor [34]: “1) Maintainingeffective communication, 2) Establishing and aligning expectations, 3) Assessing mentees’understanding of scientific research, 4) Addressing diversity within mentoring relationships, 5)Fostering mentees’ independence, and 6) Promoting

This paper describes our experience with mentoring a cohort of ten high achieving undergraduate students in Summer 2019 to conduct engineering HPC research for ten weeks in Clarkson University. Our mentoring activity was informed and motivated by an initial informal study with the goal to learn the roles and status of HPC in engineering research and what can be improved to make more effective use of it. Through a combination of email surveys, in-person interviews, and an analysis of faculty research profiles in Clarkson University, we learn several characteristics of their research

A few students from UST endshad also told us that such a course offered them an opportunity to “have a slight deviationfrom my main capacity or major”. However, some students from UST also expressed theirinterest in this course content, stating that “I chose this class specifically to challenge myselfto a topic more socially oriented” or to seek for “a diverse class environment”.PEDAGOGYAs

Students mightchoose STEM due to alluring job prospects, pressure or encouragement from family members, orthe recommendations of an instructor or counselor. Others might be following a passion forscience or math, or using their undergraduate program as an intermediate step in their journeytowards an advanced degree [3], [4]. Of primary interest for this analysis is the influence ofperson-to-person interactions that fostered students’ interests in STEM.

The surveyaims to address the following questions:•   What are the factors that affect why women and minorities choose to pursue education in civil engineering?•   What aspects of the civil engineering curriculum and course work do students find particularly motivating and interesting? Do students feel that they have a mentor? What kind of work experience and internships have students had? Are they members of student/professional engineering organizations? Do the answers to this question depend on the gender or ethnic/racial
