Some grantshave funds to compensate faculty advisors. However, full time faculty do not receive reducedteaching load for participating in research activities. Community college faculty also do not havegraduate students and post docs to assist with supervising research projects. Community collegefaculty are focused on teaching and are not encouraged to be involved in research activities. Also,community colleges have limited facilities (i.e., labs and workshops) for research. Some studentlimitations include weaknesses in soft skills such as time management, communications, andteamwork

a one-unit Research Methodscourse in either Physical or Biological Sciences. The goal of this initial tier is the development ofneeded research skills, including soft skills, such as working in a team, communicating within agroup, how to problem solve using critical thinking, and what it takes to be a professionalscientist. During these course-based instruction experiences, students will also be introduced toSTEM specific skills needed in chemistry, biology, physics or biology projects. This training inboth soft and hard skills using a more active learning approach increases excitement for science,promotes scientific literacy and prepares students for the rigor inherent in the STEM academicpathway.Over the past five years, students at PCC
