To achieve these objectives, this study: (1) identified the main factors contributing tothese problems of utmost importance to academia from previous literature; (2) collected andanalyzed enrollment and retention data from Florida International University (FIU), one of thelargest minority serving institutions in the United States; and (3) identified strategies and bestpractices aimed at addressing these paramount difficulties within undergraduate educationthrough literature review.

Furthermore, the findings of the HBCU LeadershipImpact Survey suggest that the impact on internal stakeholders is just as much of a concern. Oursurvey found that 69% of HBCU stakeholders felt that president/chancellor turnover at theinstitutions has a “high impact” on faculty engagement, and 52% felt the same about studentengagement. This is highlighted in Table 3 below. Table 3: What, if any

Electronics” workshop on electronicsThe “Fun with Electronics” workshop was designed to introduce the students to basic theory andapplications of electronics and allow them to conduct some simple but engaging hands-onexperiments. This activity occurred in one teaching lab at WSU Vancouver’s Engineering andComputer Science (ENCS) building. This workshop was given four times or sessions to a total offour groups. As a result, 23 middle school students and six high school students participated inthis activity. In each 45-minute session, the number of students was limited to 12, and they wereasked to form small teams of 2 or 3. This made it possible for the workshop instructor to interactclosely with all students throughout the session.Each session

Despite this, however, the impact of graduate student mentoring is criticalto their mentees' future academic and career trajectories [4], [9]. Much of the research literaturehas reasoned that two main goals of effective graduate student mentoring in engineeringeducation are guiding undergraduates in technical research and laboratory techniques andproviding mentees with social support [3], [9], [10].
