activities to motivate future research careersIntroductionThe potential that materials-based solutions hold for global challenges such as in biomaterials,energy, environment and aerospace is undisputed. Therefore, it is imperative to groomundergraduate engineering and science students with a broad-based materials science andengineering back-ground, in order to maintain technological leadership position of developedand developing countries in the 21st century. At Oklahoma State university (OSU), we haveestablished a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program that is based on thepremise that interdisciplinary research training including entrepreneurship is essential for acomplete research experience in Materials Science with most of the

an essential skill. It has been shown to be a goodpredictor of success in several engineering and technology-related disciplines [1] – [5]. An earlystudy from I. M. Smith in 1964 [6] identified at least 84 career areas for which spatial skills areimportant. Women, underrepresented minorities, and non-traditional students have been foundto have somewhat lower spatial visualization skills affecting their performance in STEM fieldsbut after specialized training, they showed improvements in their skills [7] – [10]. A study byUttal, et al. [11] published in 2013 found that more than 200 studies on improvement of spatialskills demonstrated that students who receive extensive training and practice on spatially-relevant skills showed increased

overall experience of studying engineering is influencing the self-efficacy andwomen students’ sense of inclusion. A study on retention and promotion of women andunderrepresented minority faculty in science and engineering11 revealed that even in professionallife female engineering faculty who started as assistant professors had higher incidence ofleaving than men, particularly in years 3 through 7, and left without tenure more frequently thanmen. They did not see this discrepancy in the other disciplines. Servon12 focused their study onthe experience of executive level women in SET (science, engineering and technology) careerswithin the private sector. The findings of their study revealed that the workplace culture ingeneral was unsupportive to
as new evidence-based approaches toteaching become more widespread in the STEM community. Although many of these techniqueshave been gaining traction in most STEM disciplines [1, 2], the rate of adoption in the areas ofComputer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT), and Software Engineering (SE) is less thanexpected [3]. The increasing number of students entering undergraduate programs in CS/IT/SE[4] requires that the introduction of these evidence-based approaches be adopted at a faster rate.This is particularly true for students entering SE programs given that the effective developmentof software applications requires the use of a wide range of skills, including both technical andnon-technical skills [5, 6].
