Grantee poster examines the impact of participation in the Rice EmergingScholars Program (RESP), Rice University’s comprehensive undergraduate science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) summer bridge program, on student perceptions ofuniversity belongingness within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a quasi-experimental design, the researchers examined whether RESP participants experienced differentlevels of belongingness utilizing two measures: The Psychological Sense of School MembershipScale, as well as a measure of perceived peer support. Additionally, the researchers examinedwhether family income impacted students, regardless of RESP program participation. Finally,researchers examined whether family income moderated

Historically, undergraduate research has not always been considered to beimportant or even practical, but in the wake of educational research showing that authentic,inquiry-based projects help students improve in math /science skills and also help students tomaintain interest in science fields, many broad-based funding agencies such as the NationalScience Foundation (NSF) and National Atmospheric and Space Agency (NASA) have found itgermane to fund programs aimed at starting intervention at earlier stages in students’ education.

was alsosupplied with a monopole tower but at the height of 18 feet. The Helixwind turbine wassupplied without a tower but a 20 foot monopole tower was locally manufacturedaccording to Helixwind specifications and used in the installation. All foundations wereeither installed (i.e. poured) as specified in manufacturer drawings or installed accordingto revised drawings contracted through a local engineering design firm. The nature of theproject (State of Minnesota funding) required State registered engineering certification ofall foundations. This was accomplished via local subcontract. In addition, all turbinesystem electrical installation was completed by licensed electricians. This work wasaccomplished by Minnesota State University
Problem Solving Obstacles in the Research Lab: Perceptions of Graduate Students and Faculty Michele H. Miller and Debra D. Charlesworth Michigan Technological UniversityAbstractThe transition from dependent to independent learner is an important part of the graduate schoolexperience. The transition is overly bumpy for many students (and their faculty advisors). Thispaper describes a survey of faculty and graduate students administered at Michigan Tech.Twenty-two faculty and thirty-six graduate students from a variety of engineering and sciencedisciplines completed the surveys. The surveys asked respondents to rate the importance of avariety of factors to
experiments.While successful in many aspects, these experiments seem to be somewhat ‘canned’ and do notallow for much creative or open-ended experimentation. In addition, these kits are billed asinexpensive, but cost $65 without a return label and $110 with one [8]. Previous authors haveremarked on the difficult logistics in managing kits which must be returned [2]. Other non-electrical kits have been developed for K-12 fluids and heat transfer topics, or for statics for usein a flipped classroom.
