–such as increased likelihood of graduate school attendance – may not be appropriate measures ofa successful experience. To develop the definitions, we have surveyed and interviewed studentswho have been engaged in undergraduate research experiences in engineering, faculty memberswho have supervised undergraduate students working on research projects, and industrialrepresentatives who have employed recent engineering graduates. In this paper, we present theperspectives of these groups. With the perspectives of the three groups as input, the definitionsof a successful undergraduate research experience for non-elite engineering students have beendeveloped and are presented.In addition to these definitions of a successful undergraduate research

Today, women represent just 10 percent of thecybersecurity workforce. Thus, to increase the amount of people going into cybersecurity,primarily women, we must start at the base: schools.
