University programs and advisors can helpstudents make informed decisions about undergraduate work experiences by understanding thesources and types of information that students seek and value. This work also contributes tobroader understanding in engineering around the potential role of co-ops in efforts to broadenparticipation and increase retention of underrepresented minority students in the engineeringprofession.IntroductionDespite numerous calls to increase diversity and inclusion in the Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce, African American, Latinx, Native

postdoctoral scholars of color describe their mentoring needs, particularly as theyrelate to their desire to enter the professoriate?Literature ReviewIn recent decades, numerous efforts to diversify the science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) professoriate have been employed (Yadav et al., 2020). Despite these efforts, thedemographic makeup remains relatively unchanged (Allen-Ramdial & Campbell, 2014;Castañeda et al., 2015; Griffin et al., 2020; NSF, 2019; Zambrana et al., 2015). Presently, only6% of engineering professors identify as racial/ethnic minorities (Roy, 2019). Postdoctoralscholars are the greatest source of future faculty and subsequently a significant factor in thediversification of the STEM workforce and professoriate

analyzing and thereby assessing howdifferent methods used in a flipped classroom setting will impact student-learning effectiveness.The study compares flipped classroom instruction to a traditional teaching method which is usedas a reference for control study. Data gathered for the analysis is based on a non-biaseduniformly distributed lab setting focused on using smart materials to determine the vibrationfrequency of a cantilever beam. The lab setup is a part of a Green Energy Materials &Engineering course offered in the summer 2014 semester. This class introduced students to theconcepts of Green Manufacturing, Green Technologies in industries, and Fabricating advancedGreen Energy devices. The framework used for gathering unbiased data

synchronous onlineinteraction would be higher.Conclusions This study seeks to develop an understanding of the quantity, type, and drivers ofsynchronous online student interaction in a Systems Engineering context. The results of thiswork demonstrate that the synchronous online mode of learning is a popular means of engagingwith distance learning technology. When prompted through some explicit instructor actions anda culture of inclusivity (regarding prompting, wait time, scheduled presentations), thesynchronous online students interact often and with high-quality. This paper demonstrates how adetailed and quantitative assessment may be conducted to inform the course structure andinstructor training of a Systems Engineering education program
