. The objective of the informationalinterview was for students to virtually meet with someone from industry, government, academia(graduate student or faculty member), or an alternative STEM career path that was of interest tothe student. Interviews conducted engaged Penn State graduate students, faculty, panelists, andconnections from their home institutions’ alumni networks. In the final week of the program,students shared their experience with the larger group. Participants reported positive interactionswith their interviewee, with many of the interviewees offering to review a resumé, connect themwith someone in their company or network or alert them to the potential of a career or internshipopportunity.Scientific and Research Skills

informed us that exams were not used in the class this year. Some of the faculty havesuggested that they gave more challenging exams because of their perception that students wereachieving deeper learning. This question has not yet been explored with every member of thevirtual community, but our informal analysis suggests that it may be difficult to compare examperformance between the control group and the intervention. PARTICIPANTS’ EXPERIENCES AND RESULTS At the conclusion of the second semester of the VCP, each participant had implemented his orher course transformation using RBIS. From the conversations during the VCP sessions, the ideaemerged for the participants to disseminate their RBIS experiences with the broader communityat the ASEE

at Birmingham (UAB) organized its first Materials Camp for high school students,based loosely on the model followed by ASM Education Foundation-supported camps. Selectedfrom nearly sixty applicants, twenty-four students from more than twenty area high schools tookpart, making it a wide-reaching outreach program. Throughout the 3.5 day non-residentialprogram, participants worked with department faculty and graduate students to explore the fieldof materials science and engineering (MSE), the possibilities available at this university, and theopportunities available for MSE graduates. Students also worked in teams to design and buildmodel rockets from high-tech composite materials, which were launched on the last day. Thelogistics of

Conduct experimental testing, each student concentrating on a different focus area: 1) Material degradation due to aqueous environment exposure, 2) Raster and print orientation, 3) Strengthening by epoxy layering/impregnation, and 4) Strength as a function of orientation in thermoformed materials 3. Conduct experiments and analyze data 4. Write an operation manual for the student-constructed fabrication machines 5.

Given therelatively small number of participants, we chose qualitative interviews as our primary source ofdata for assessing the effectiveness of this program.The participants identified numerous positive aspects of participating in the summer researchprogram. Students appreciated the sense of community they developed with both the otherparticipants in the research program and the other members of their lab groups. Although most ofthe participants did not report the summer research experience as having a strong influence ontheir decisions to pursue graduate school or careers involving research, they did report
