Possible methods of collecting data includeon-line and paper surveys, face to face focus group sessions and one–on-one interviews with BDFellows as well as their faculty mentors. We anticipate quantitative data will include at aminimum: 1) Number and percentage of fellows who successfully complete their Master’s degree and enroll in doctoral programs; 2) Number and percentage of fellows who complete the doctoral degree in a STEM field; 3) Number of fellows, if any, who pursue doctoral degrees in other fields; 4) Number of fellows who enter into the professoriate; 5) Number and percentage of Ph.D. graduates who pursue other STEM

Participants describedtheir groups as sites of application and significantly, sites of learning the culture of practice thatis expected. Implications of these findings are discussed, including theoretical and practical, andpotential insights for engineering educators are surfaced.3 Introduction There is a great need to understand how novice engineers collaborate in interdisciplinarysettings to accomplish STEM work.
