In2010 this group was low in total number but the percentage of these women leaving engineeringduring their freshmen year was high. The PI’s believed that one reason for this was that most ofthese young women were concerned about their career path having a clear connection to beingbeneficial to society. The RISER URA program was initiated for these students to buildmentoring relationships with faculty members, senior researchers

Given the history of the eugenics movement, it is imperative that ethics isintegrated into introductory genetics courses as a core part of a whole rather than an afterthoughtor add on.

Thus, students at CSMagreed to participate but then waited for several weeks before the study actually began. Thedelay resulted in one male student choosing not to participate in APS and several otherscontacting the study coordinator to see why they had not been involved in a study activity.
