The other two questions (2 and 6) wereanswered correctly by more than 80% of students atthe start.Student inspiration is more difficult to track, in partbecause we did not link responses from specificstudents between surveys. Hence, the lack ofsignificant change on these questions could represent asubset of students with increased interest and anothersubset with decreased interest, cancelling one anotherout.

It is a balance between which is more beneficial for the students’education and which is more beneficial for the ultimate goal of certifying a building in LEEDO+M: Existing Buildings. The advantage of the traditional path is that it is the same procedure (and point structure)the students will be using in their future careers when working on the LEED certificationprocess. The skills and knowledge learned in this path are directly transferable, a fact that will bebeneficial to their future employers. By allowing students access to LEED Online they

Research has also shown how graduate students benefit from mentoringundergraduate researchers—namely they receive instrumental research support, improveteaching skills, and develop socioemotionally. Less research, however, has investigated the waysin which graduate students mentor undergraduate REU participants, and how the mentoring rolemay impact the graduate students.

effects caused by the lack of parental participation in university education,prior educational disadvantages, among other risk factors (Cabrera, 2001). To overcome thesechallenges, many initiatives with both private and public funding have been deployed. Amongthese, engineering schools in the US have developed educational programs to instill engineeringabilities while students are still in high school. These programs have been called pre-engineeringprograms.Academic studies have showcased the benefits of pre-engineering education. For example, thesetype of programs in K-12 are linked to higher self-efficacy in engineering (Fantz, Siller &DeMiranda, 2011), increases in pursuing STEM careers due to the early exposure to math andsciences (Raines
