Our work advances prior research byinterviewing both persisters and switchers in EE CpE, and ME to better understand the nuancedand complex nature of retention and attrition among these students.Project GoalsThe objective of this project is to identify policies and practices that lead to increased persistenceand graduation as well as attrition for Black students in EE, CpE and ME and to make actionablerecommendations for policy makers regarding best practices. Our approach combines thequantitative power of large sample sizes available from the Multi-Institution Database forInvestigating Engineering Longitudinal Development (MIDFIELD) and the qualitative richnessof 100 in-depth interviews and detailed content analysis of

The National Academy of Engineering(NAE) reinforces the critical role that engineers should play in addressing both problems andopportunities that are technical, social, economic, and political in nature in solving the grandchallenges. This paper provides an
fit, drawing on best practices and published research [22,23]. After a presentation and facilitated discussion, the eleven summer REU students were askedto “write a paragraph about how you are uniquely well-suited for success in materials science. Itcan be about your skills, interest, experience, perspective, values, or anything else.” Individualinterviews followed the subsequent week, between the developmental, research preparation andconceptualization period and the latter half of the summer, focused on execution. From weeks five through ten, students were tasked with executing their projects, underthe hierarchical mentoring teams of their graduate student and faculty mentor teams, which attimes included postdocs and additional, peer

In particular, we are interested in what categories of students engagein research (year in college, major, race, gender, GPA, first-generation status, etc.), and howare they benefiting from it. We selected questions from the

using an online queueAbstractThis paper presents an evaluation of an online queueing system (“the Queue”) that has been usedextensively at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) for several years. Thiswork describes the benefits of the Queue to the users (students, instructors, and advisors) and theresults of surveys given to students, educators, and advisors who used the Queue in diverseeducational settings. Prior work identified that using technology, such as a mobile-friendly, web-based queue, has benefits to improving student/educator interactions. A survey was developed tocollect student, instructor, and advisor feedback to understand best practices, challenges, andperceptions from using the Queue for office hours, active
