A faculty/staffselection committee will then evaluate the proposals in terms of quality, research interest, andresources required (e.g., expertise, time, supplies, equipment, funding, faculty advisor). Theselection committee is usually comprised of the MESA Center coordinator, grant directorsfunding the projects and an additional STEM faculty. Once selections are made, teams arenotified and required to attend an orientation where students sign agreements, liability waiversand other requisite paperwork. They also interact with other student researchers through team-building

Steps toensure anonymity included assigning codes to mask any personal identifiable information thatcould be traced back to each participant. Steps to safeguard confidentiality in addition toassigning codes to each participant included the storage of any personal identifiable informationin a separate file (e.g., demographic information, student identification number, etc.) andsecurely discarded once the data collection had been completed.

We felt the discrepancies between STEM-H discipline research and education research (e.g. natural laws vs. conceptual frameworks,feasibility and ethicality of controlled studies in education), would be the main source of initialconfusion for participants. We hypothesized that the participants would benefit from anintroduction to foundational education research ideas, and we addressed these discrepancies thatlead to tensions due to differing views and values of research among the discipline-basedcommunities. We sought to unpack and diffuse tensions by emphasizing that anywhere on thelandscape, valuable research means appropriately

Another common occurrence is that engineering lab classes often encompass a widevariety of learning objectives [9]. For the purposes of ABET evaluation and assessment, it is notuncommon for lab classes to be used to assess student outcomes beyond experimentation, andincluding student outcomes having to do with communication, teamwork, ethics andprofessionalism, and life-long learning. Communication, in particular, is a component in labclasses that often results in the majority of time being spent on the preparation of written reportsrather than on actually doing the experiment or in reflecting on the results [10].
