These two types of portfolios areconsidered to be the basis of the portfolios used in engineering discipline.Besides these two commonly used portfolio models, there are several other types of portfoliomodels being suggested and used in the practice. Cress and McCullouogh-Cress1 designed astudent portfolio as a collection of student goals for learning, works in progress, peer andinstructor feedback, and reflections on the work and processes. Gottlieb2 pointed out thatportfolio designs, contents, and purposes could take on many forms, all of which areeducationally defensible.

Thus far, our results indicate that this program will be beneficial to studentswell after regular programming resumes at full capacity. GREaT GradS was designed to servegroups of graduate students who are typically marginalized within science with an eye towardretention through support and mentorship. The overall goals were to provide (1) ResourceRecognition by introducing students to the various academic and personal resources available oncampus, (2) Personal Preparation through programming on subjects such as personal finance andmental health, (3) Career Preparation through writing workshops and curriculum vitae editing,and (4) Network Building by connecting students

model, combined withscholarship support, has been shown to have the potential to overcome the challenges of limitedconnection to peers and institutions that transfer students often encounter [2].The APEX program also includes a focus on providing formal and informal opportunities fortransfer students to engage with faculty and other students. Mentoring is a proven practice forsupporting low-income STEM students’ retention and has especially been shown to benefitcommunity college transfer students [3]. Comprehensive mentoring has been shown to helpstudents navigate the curriculum, the co-curriculum, and the “hidden curriculum” – the“unwritten, often unspoken norms, values, expectations, behaviors, codes of conduct” that are“not transparent or

These ideas are predicated onthe nine key principles advanced by the non-profit “Building Engineering and Science Talent”which identifies nine qualities of programs that are successful in nurturing well-qualified STEMgraduates [2]. These principles are • Institutional leadership • Personal attention • Bridging to the next level • Targeted recruitment • Peer support • Financial assistance • Engaged faculty • Enriched research opportunities • Continuous evaluationThe DuSTEM program is designed support

decades, one of the top priorities forAmerica’s higher education leaders is to get more students into college. The second priority is tograduate students that are competent in their field of study. In a recent national study, only twoof five minority students who enroll in engineering programs graduate with a baccalaureatedegree in engineering, as compared to two of three non-minority students. Another nationalstudy found that 54 percent of students entering four-year colleges in 1997 had a degree six yearslater, with even a lower percentage for Hispanics and Blacks. The barriers to minority studentretention continue to be: the cost of education, isolating campus environments, a lack of peer andfaculty engagement, and inadequate math and science

] The ways in which the genders vary in the respectivedisciplines is of particular interest, as it may give us a clue as to why so few women enter certaindisciplines and are attracted to others disproportionately [1,10]. Further, in at least one study,gender differences in engineering GPA’s (women’s being higher) disappeared when major wascontrolled [7]. In other words, sometimes observed gender differences are artifacts or inflatedbecause of the differential distribution of the genders across engineering disciplines. Weenvisioned writing a paper entitled, “It’s the Major, Stupid!” But it isn’t that simple, as our datashow. Gender matters, and major matters, and year in the program matters, and they eveninteract in instructive ways.The question

At that point, instructors turned the tables on the students and provided historicalcase studies for reflection during class sessions, but asked the students, in small groups, to createtheir own fictional “case studies” as a culminating assignment. Students were initiallyencouraged to write a 1500 word creative short story, but other genres were approved.

There is the classical definition thatengineers use science to solve problems. Most programs have come to recognize that this is anoversimplification of the engineering discipline. The students are taught that engineers have toconsider many elements that go beyond the physical sciences and mathematics. There are theadditional, broader issues of economics, politics, environment, health, safety, quality, ethics,culture and other contemporary issues.Along with an understanding of general engineering
