The combinationof local industry, entrepreneurship, and world-class research facilities and faculty offer the REUstudents an opportunity that is hard to match. In recent years the authors have discussed the uniqueopportunities available to those with graduate degrees with undergraduate chemical engineeringstudents at LSU. Through these

The University of Arizona, one of first conference awardees,held a working conference that brought together over 100 faculty, students, and administratorsfrom 42 Southwestern higher-education institutions, including 37 HSIs and five emerging HSIs,to identify gaps, opportunities, and key recommendations for transforming STEM education atHSIs. Following the conference, the STEM in HSI Working Group at the University of Arizonawas formed to spearhead broader impacts informed by the conference recommendations [1] andanchored in the notion of “servingness” at HSIs [2].

“meritocracy of difficulty” [3] where student success can be interpreted as “beingable to take it” [4]. Within engineering, disciplinary subcultures have also been described [5].This work is part of a larger study to understand how students experience stress as part ofengineering culture. The overarching goal of the project is to understand how a culture of stressdevelops in engineering and how it impacts student perceptions of inclusion in engineeringdisciplines and their level of identification with engineering. Our previous work has indicatedthat correlative relationships exist between engineering student identity, perceptions of inclusion,and self-reported stress, anxiety, and depression [2].

arecommonly given for encouraging participation in undergraduate research. [3-7]. Whilethe former reason is supportive of the desire to graduate more students in engineering, thelatter reason is less connected to the concept. However, the desire to use undergraduateresearch experiences to attract more students to graduate school tends to focusrecruitment on higher-achieving, more academically-successful students. These students Page 26.441.2are more likely to finish their degrees than weaker students. Therefore, usingundergraduate research projects may not be a productive way to increase the number ofengineering graduates, if the students who are engaging in
