Therefore, the combination of cooperative education requirements andthe demands of an undergraduate course sequence have proved problematic for studentsconsidering enrolling in the study-abroad courses offered by other institutions as well as for thedevelopment of study abroad options that would be offered by BGSU.There are important benefits that are derived from incorporating cooperative education within acurriculum. The goal of cooperative education is to provide students with a mechanism to gainapplied experience in their field prior to graduation through a structured course activity in whichtheories and

The National Student Clearinghouse's comprehensive dataset enables theassessment of college enrollment, retention, graduation rates, and career choices in STEM fieldsamong program alumni. By examining the Clearinghouse data in conjunction with programparticipant information, this study quantitatively evaluates the program's efficacy. Whileexposure to STEM education at an early age can increase the likelihood of college enrollmentand pursuit of STEM careers [9], there are still challenges that need to be addressed to makeSTEM education more equitable and effective. The research outcomes are expected to informprogram development, facilitating evidence-based improvements, and assist in advocating forresources and funding to support the

Undergraduate Research: The Lafayette Experience Kristen L. Sanford Bernhardt, Mary J.S. Roth Lafayette CollegeIntroductionLafayette College is an undergraduate institution with approximately 2200 students. On average,approximately 80 of those students are civil engineering majors; the Department of Civil andEnvironmental Engineering graduates anywhere from 12-25 students per class. The opportunityfor students to conduct one-on-one research with a faculty member is a strength of the LafayetteCollege environment. Lafayette encourages undergraduate research in all disciplines through avariety of programs, including independent studies, honors theses, and paid
exercises (e.g. [1], [2], [14], [15], [16], [17]). In oneof the few photo ethnographic studies, Thomas [18] did a photo diary study with undergraduateambassadors to investigate Rice University’s Fondren Library services and spaces. Her successwith the study informed our research project. However, there is still a gap in the literature for theuse of photography in ethnographic studies.Background of College of Architecture In fall 2019, the College Station campus had a total enrollment of 69,465: 54,476undergraduates (ungr) and 14,989 graduate students (grad) [19].
