Thecoding of the interviews was done by the principal investigator. The first transcript was coded bythe principal investigator and the social scientists were in consensus with the initial codes. Theinterviews were structured around three themes: 1) Who are leaders (society, technology, etc.)and what are their attributes? 2) What inspired the engineering undergraduate student to take onleadership roles and the lessons learned and/or skills developed from these experiences?

Outcomes for Undergraduate Students in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Western Michigan UniversityAbstractStarting with the award of its first scholarships for the Fall 2010 semester, the goal of the S-STEM Scholars program at Western Michigan University has been to increase opportunities andimprove outcomes for financially needy but academically talented students and to involveundergraduate students enrolled in engineering, technology, or applied sciences majors. Theprogram has worked with first-time, first-year students and supports them as they progress intheir academic careers. Each scholarship awarded is roughly equal to one semester of tuition peracademic year for a full-time undergraduate student, and can be

Among the participants, CTE teachers indicated that they found the RETprogram most helpful as this was related to what they needed to teach in their pre-engineeringcurriculum. During the RET learning experience, the physics teachers readily found connectionswith some course concepts they teach and what were introduced at the RET program (e.g., finiteelement analyses and robotics mechanisms). A few STEM teachers, however, found it hard tounderstand the materials covered in the morning workshops as well as the engineering researchin the afternoon. Because of different personal and professional interests, some teachers werevery active in pursuing research tasks while
