the internaland external audits. After completing the course modules, students are expected to be able to (a)understand and discuss the aims of the audits, including how to verify a system is working as it issupposed to, how to find out where it can improve, and how to correct or prevent problemsidentified; (b) lead or participate in a team to prepare for the internal and external audits; and (c)identify the opportunities and strategies of continuous improvement.Manufacturing related materials standards provide a framework for the manufacturers andcustomers to reach to consensus regarding desired properties. Moreover, these engineeringstandards provide analysis methods to measure the properties and leading to standardmanufacturing procedures

When asked to grade their mentors, the majority of participants gave a grade A with thelowest grade being B-. The graduate student mentoring training was refined and perfectedthroughout the years thanks to the analysis of interviews and surveys administered each year, atthe beginning and at the end of the summer program, to both mentors and Scholars. For example,in 2018, the YSs reported that the mentors did not adequately connect the research to the realworld. This feedback was important in the 2019 mentors’ training with increased emphasisplaced on connecting the project with a real world application, in order to
