This will be done in the future tocomprehensively assess the efficacy of all the different components of the overall mentorshipprogram proposed in this paper. Outcomes of the mentorship program will be assessed over thenext two years. Furthermore, benefits of the program to senior and junior students (studentmentors) who may be mentoring the sophomore or freshmen students will also be evaluated inthe future in order to seek possible means of improving the model proposed in this paper.References1.

Theinstrument is included in Appendix B. An open-coding approach was taken to identify emergentcategories in the reflection responses14-15. One member of the research team first read eachstudent’s response to determine a set of categories compiled into a rubric. The rubric was thenused to code each student’s response. A second rater then used the rubric to test its reliabilityacross raters. A second member of the research team coded each student’s response using thefirst rater’s codes until agreement was reached.

Data from the pre- and post-surveycomparisons are described here. While, in general engineers had pretty optimistic and positiveimpressions about how their skills would relate to design challenges with elementary schoolchildren and their families, a number of items stand out as being enhanced by the participation inthe program. For instance, most engineers agreed that at the outset they were fairly effective atteaching difficult concepts to non-technical people (58%). However after their experience in thefamily

How are the characteristics of LTS faculty different from other engineering faculty? a. It is hypothesized that LTS faculty might be different than other engineering faculty, since differences have been found among the students who engage in LTS; for example, women might be over-represented among LTS faculty compared to engineering faculty overall. b. The demographic characteristics for LTS faculty were identified to answer research question 1. The characteristics for engineering faculty overall were taken
