preparation in engineering research and graduate studies. Experienced faculty working onresearch projects at the NHERI sites are assigned to students as mentors at each site. A networkof mentors, at each site and across the sites, including faculty mentors, graduate student mentors,peer mentors, and staff mentors make up the support structure for the NHERI REU researchers. Over the course of seven years, the NHERI REU program underwent formative changes,including modifications to the mentor training. A comprehensive analysis of qualitative andquantitative data reveals valuable lessons learned about mentoring best practices acrossinterdisciplinary fields and various modalities, including remote, hybrid, and in person researchsettings. Through
students’ abilities toconduct individual research projects, improving students’ abilities to work in an interdisciplinaryenvironment, improving students’ abilities to utilize computer-aided tools and laboratoryfacilities, and improving students’ communication skills. The issue of whether or notunderrepresented students participated will be decided through a longitudinal study. It is safe tosay that the program was a great success.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was funded in part by the NSF’s REU program and in part by theOpportunities for Undergraduate Research Experiences program. This research would not havebeen completed had it not been for the fantastic work and support of all university faculty, staff,and graduate students who

Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, New York 14623ABSTRACT The case studies presented in this paper are based on 22 years of experience at two majorUS companies, four years on active duty in the military, and 11 years of teaching. Cases arepresented first as the situation, with the results of action taken in a later section so that they canbe used for discussion with students. These occurred over a career that started as a new collegehire and
individualizing programs, modifying the physical environment, curriculum andinstructional approaches [25]. Buffer and Scott’s seminal work assisted technology educators inidentifying, understanding, and adapting instructional practices to better respond to the needs ofthe special education population [26]. Though there are studies citing situated cognition, a formof contextualized learning, as a means of improving success for special needs technologyeducation students [27] and the implementation of game design to assist special needs students inthe classroom [28], a dearth of quantitative research remains in assessing the success of thesemethods.Also limited are studies on ethnic minority students in technology education programs.

learning experiences. This analysis focuses on two sessions of the Summer Intensive Research Institute (SIRI)– year one, online in 2021, and year two, in person, in 2022. Over the course of eight weeks,students participated in a range of activities at a historically Hispanic-serving research-intensiveuniversity (HSRU) located in the American Southwest and a predominantly white institution(PWI) in the Midwest. Eighteen students participated in the program between the summers of2021 and 2022, engaging in activities aiming to introduce students to the logistics of applying tograduate school and getting them excited about pursuing graduate studies in engineering andpersisting in related workforce fields. Of these 18, a small subset of six

Often time undergraduate students are less prepared for aresearch study. They are looking for an experience as a means to determine career pathways. Thesupport mechanisms, evaluation structure, and reward systems for undergraduate students are notwell established or well defined and are still being developed in many institutions anddisciplines. In addition, funding mechanisms have not truly figured out how to properly evaluateand fund undergraduate research1,2. Given those challenges, it is still important to get themmotivated
