A voucher is included in order toprovide for access to University facilities and equipment. Graduate students gain experience inreal-world commercialization situations, and simultaneously provide benefit to the area economy.This paper is a continuation of the paper delivered at ASEE 2001 conference entitled “Universityof Arkansas Innovation Incubator: Flaming the Sparks of Creativity” by Vickers, Salamo, Loewerand Ahlen1.

Imagination is one of the least emphasized science processes.13 Indeed, research onstudents’ perceptions of science indicates that they see scientific work as dull and rarelyrewarding, and scientists as bearded, balding, and working alone in the laboratory.14Middle school students need to be able to conceptualize science and mathematics in ways thatallow them to understand and transfer learning to new situations.1,15 Students need to learn in abalanced way.

As amentor, it is important to recognize this so that you can define who they are and how best tointeract with them. Taking time to listen to the student and building this relationship carefully(Tips #1 and #2 above) play an important part of this definition process. When a new studententers my research group, I conduct a “mentoring interview” to learn about their career goals,prior experience, preferred management style, etc. Villarruel provides a helpful list of questionsfor this interview, examples of which are listed below:2 • What are your strengths?

They are learning today that they mustrespond to a different audience and this requires a different communication skill. This skill isnot a new one but an old one, writing and writing well. Students are learning that “writing isthinking on paper”1.

The faculty and graduate student workclosely together to develop learning materials, design exercises, and exams.
