Using Undergraduate Research as a Recruiting Tool for Graduate StudyAbstractThis paper focuses on using the undergraduate research experience as a recruiting tool forgraduate study. One undergraduate Engineering Technology student researched the machiningcapability of a laser micro-machining center on piezoelectric materials. With high-precision cutsof 31 to 80 microns wide and 12 to 24 microns deep, the laser provides an outstandingopportunity in the field of transducer design. This student is in the process of completing his ETdegree and is currently weighing the possibility of graduate study. Seventeen of the 22 graduatestudents in this program came through the undergraduate ranks at the same institution. Theaccess

Czarena Crofcheck and Eduardo Santillan-Jimenez, performing her research in the laboratories of UK CAER. Julia’s research focuses on the development of methods for the depolymerization of lignin, this being a main constituent of biomass. In so doing, Julia’s work aims to convert this largely waste material into a sustainable source of chemicals and fuels, thereby significantly improving the economics of biorefineries.

However, utilizing McMillan and Chavis’ (1986) PSOC, we have beenable to integrate and offer the possibility to demonstrate why this unintended effect is occurringwith non-STEM participants in the PROMISE AGEP. Use of the PSOC model as a conceptualframework for the PROMISE AGEP is an example of an “unintended effect.” PSOC wasintroduced to PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP by a former graduate

there are the costs and time involved in beginning thetraining of a new graduate student to replace the one who left. Scott Smallwood points out thatattrition rates do not appear to change. “What is changing is the university administrators’willingness to do something about the problem.”1 Most would agree that actions should be takento promote positive experiences for the student while at the university and to reduce attrition ofPh.D. students. One of those positive experiences is social and collegial interaction – being partof a group.Because so much of graduate life revolves around research, isolation for hours or days is not anuncommon experience for a Ph.D. student. Although students interact with others, it is oftenwith a small, select
