Supported by the National Science FoundationImproving Undergraduate STEM Education initiative, researchers at three institutions haverefined and reorganized a series of scaffolded laboratory writing modules based on the work offaculty and graduate students at a CoP meeting. This paper documents the process used at theCoP meeting where draft modules were made available and a model laboratory session wasconsidered. Other published laboratory report writing
practice, a skill set that is essential forstudents pursuing faculty careers, may also be a useful metric for graduate training more broadly.In the initial design of the course, we chose to move away from traditional assignments andassessments (such as quizzes and tests) to maximize the accessibility of the course. Given thatour course participants are graduate students with research responsibilities, reducing the timeburden for this course was a top priority. Still, we believe that utilizing a limited number ofungraded assessments will increase opportunities for active recall and spaced repetition without asignificant increase in participant time burden.For (3), one of the driving motivators in the inception of the course was creating

After theworkshop, participants join a year-long coaching process with a faculty mentor to develop and executetheir projects with students.In this paper, we report on the key elements of the workshop design and insights from past participantsacross multiple years. We surveyed all past participants of the workshops, and respondents indicated thatthey had received several benefits from the workshop experience including better planning andorganization of research experiences for undergraduates. Faculty reported significant benefits to thestudents such as more attending graduate school but also to their own research practices includingbuilding a capacity for more readily identifying the value of their work.We hope

In other words, students learn some foundational information and gain researchexperiences. Junior students are paired with more experienced students to learn the technicalaspects of design. Short lectures / hands-on instruction is done throughout the semester. The courseis structured according to the best practices for collaborative projects. There are frequentopportunities for students to receive feedback from peers and the instructor at different phases ofthe research. Students get the opportunity to work individually and in teams. The

The existing mentorship process in engineeringaccounts for surface-level similarities and rarely deep-level similarities in shared values, beliefs,and interests [17, 43]; however, the underlying mechanism by which the practice of mentorshipaffects female persistence in engineering remains an unmet challenge.
