Further, while the learners and the interventions are key components of this system, weposit that another striking gap exists in the research literature. To date, no empirical researchexists relative to the intentional study and mitigation of barriers that stakeholders face insupporting these students.

However, they feltthat, from their perspective, the program structure was not always clear. They indicated that, atleast for some teams, there was not a clear plan for the semester early on or they did not havemeetings specifically for VIP (but more general lab meetings). In other cases, they had difficultysetting regular meeting times with their mentees outside of required weekly meetings. Similarly,there was uncertainty about how much time they could ask of undergraduates outside of therequired meeting (given that it is a one-credit hour class). One graduate student

Following proposal development, students execute their experiments during two on-campus laboratory visits. During the first visit, they implement their proposed plan, collect initialdata, and identify areas for further optimization. Between visits, students participate in a virtualclient consultation with graduate student mentors, where they receive feedback and proposemodifications to their experimental approach.

Many engineering programs' four-year plans of study are basedon first-semester placement in a Calculus math class. This makes math placement a criticaldeterminant for a student's ability to graduate in four years. Post-COVID, the math readiness ofgraduating high school students has been declining, resulting in more first-year engineeringstudents being placed in pre-calculus math classes. Gonzaga University’s School of Engineeringand Applied Science was experiencing a similar rise in pre-calculus math placement.

Itis an intriguing intellectual exercise to view the facilitator as a provider of a meaningfulframework in which faculty can share experiences, build a community, and learn collectively.Moreover, there are clear parallels between active learning in faculty development and inclassroom teaching. For instance, organizing an active learning session often requiressignificantly more effort than preparing a traditional slide presentation. When successful,participants are typically unaware of the effort involved in planning the session; however, if theactivity falls short, the organizer often bears the blame.
