. Our initial effort in the VIP area is focused on engineering and computer science, but the notion of undergraduates directly participating in and benefiting from research efforts extends, with appropriate adaptation, to any academic discipline. ‚ It provides opportunities for the integration of the research and education enterprises within the university. It creates a community including undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty that work together to attain technical goals. This experiential component for the undergraduates gives them great insight into their field of study, all the way up to the research questions that are posed by faculty. It also provides long-term contact between all members of the VIP

Faculty interviewed ten undergraduate students from aPWI and ten from an HBCU to create a cohort working together on a community engagementproject. The students are of all diverse backgrounds and disciplines of study, and each commitsto ten hours of work per week for one year. One graduate research assistant supports them,serving as a liaison for the students and various resources. The graduate student provides aconnection to two faculty members, one each from the HBCU and PWI, as well as variouscommunity members. In addition, an undergraduate research assistant is dedicated to research,helping faculty to interpret the students' interactions and impacts on each other and

Along these lines ofresearch, studies have shown that similar activities led to an increment in the number of physicsmajors by a factor of 400% [13], [14], which is indicative of the inefficacy of classroom-basedmethods to address such increments.

Typically, students must study articles in scholarly journals as well as textbooks; research papers are usually required. Graduate students have closer contact with their professors and other students in their departments . . . , but usually have less contact with other parts of university life. They tend to live off campus, are often married, and in many cases, have jobs or assistantship duties in addition to their studies [7].Harvard University began the Doctor of Education degree in 1921 and recognized

Explicitly, when comparing African American students in engineeringprograms, how does the direct effect between faculty interaction and engineering confidencecompare at HBCUs and PWIs?While this research has already determined that faculty interaction alone does not influenceAfrican American students to persist through doctoral studies, it was assumed that faculty would,to some degree, play a positive role in a student’s engineering confidence.

This relationship has been widely studied, with research focusing on how supervisorsprovide guidance, give feedback, and support students’ professional and personal development[2]-[7]. Supervisors can take different approaches—some more hands-on, others more hands-off—but the balance they strike between providing structure and encouraging independence iscrucial. Good supervisors nurture their students’ development as researchers and their sense ofbelonging within their field. However, supervisors are not the only ones that shape a graduatestudent’s learning.
