andacademic performance through this type of service [7-8]. The retention and completion of STEMmajor degrees need a balance of activities such as service learning, volunteering, andorganization involvement through their four-year institutions [9]. While there are many studieson service learning and its impact on STEM, there are fewer studies done that focus specificallyon the effects of volunteering in STEM activities. This paper looks at the effects of studentsvolunteering in STEM activities outside of their own interests and time, as opposed to servicelearning. Two factors that will be studied in this research are students’ sense of STEM identity[10] and STEM efficacy [11]; both of which suggest a student will be successful in a STEMcareer. These

The original concept of Triangulation was developed by Denzin12. He points out inhis paper the term triangulation has also been called mixed methods, multi-methods andmulti-strategy12. The original definition is not just the combining of qualitative andquantitative methods in studying the same research phenomenon, but is clarified by Hussein13as he states: “Triangulation is to be more precise as it aims to reveal complementarity,convergence and dissonance among the findings”.
