WorkshopApplications were reviewed by Laboratory staff for technical merit and potential for collaboration.Applicant and student demographic data was not shared with technical reviewers.Laboratory staff reviewed applications based on the applicant’s stated research interests, experience,and their interest in potential mentors. Some applications were reviewed by multiple staff memberswhere there appeared to be multiple potential matches. Applications were reviewed and scored basedon following factors: 3 confidence/interest in the applicant’s research potential for collaboration support for invitation to workshop availability to work with the teamAll review data including quantitative scores
electronics). One institution mandated that all mechanical engineeringstudents attend tutoring, or informal study sessions, for pre-calculus and calculus. Tutoring isprovided through a variety of structures, including group tutoring and more personalized,intensive “peer-to-peer” tutoring.We found evidence that two of the four schools had a study hall of some sort. For example, theNSBE chapter at Big State University, offered twice weekly study halls and the women inengineering group and the Black men’s LLC at Southern State offered study halls. Servicesoffered at the study institutions are summarized in Table 3.Table 3. Services for Minority Students at Study Institutions Big State Large State
holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. Prior to beginning his doctoral studies, Hassan worked for five years at General Electric where he graduated from their Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) and then worked as a gas turbine fleet management engineer. In addition to his technical role, Hassan supported the recruiting, interview, and selection process of the EEDP Program, where he mentored interns, co-ops and Edison associates from the Middle East and Africa regions by developing and teaching a technical training cur- riculum, providing guidance for graduate school applications, and providing
