Learning in EngineeringDr. Patti Wojahn, New Mexico State UniversityGermain Degardin, New Mexico State UniversityMuhammad Dawood, New Mexico State UniversityMelissa Guynn, New Mexico State UniversityRachel Boren, New Mexico State UniversityIntroduction Engineering programs often struggle to optimally support and retain promising students. Toattempt to address that issue at a Southwest HSI land-grant university, our interdisciplinary teamof researchers set out to study the impacts of putting learning and success more directly into thehands of students. We began exploring what we could learn from preparing first-yearengineering students to take more control of and responsibility for their learning and their growthas learners [1]. With faculty and

I felt more pressure to theorize and conduct a high caliber literature review since it would be one of the first in the area and I did not want to “let my community down” or open it up for attacks. I can recall criticism of the work feeling deeply personal, so much so that it seemed people were attacking my identity as they asked questions about the research. I share this experience to help illuminate the challenges that marginalized students have when conducting research that may serve their communities. How can we make this process easier for them?

Thus, mentoring should not be thought of as a disjointed obscure process, butone that is integrated and benchmarked as part of an institution’s best practices particularly forunderrepresented populations.
