These cohorts weresubjected of semi-annual on-line surveys aimed at quantitative (Likert-scale) measures of self-efficacy, motivation, attitudes, ABET criteria, and mental health. A sub-set of students at eachinstitution were also selected for semi-annual interviews (qualitative measures) and also had tocomplete the IDI cultural competency evaluation annually during the project’s three-yearduration.

If I didn’t feel to pressure to be successful in a course, I would want to develop a deeper understanding of the subject of the course by applying the concepts to real-life situations.” C C C “Rote learning is not rewarded from my experiences in engineering courses. I feel, professors are always emphasizing us to have a deeper intuition. However, quite a bit of the homework can be completed using rote learning. The best I have done in an engineering class is when I have had a deep conceptual understanding of the concepts. The reason being, I struggled less during tests. (sic)” C B

Asevident from the responses, most of the students do not have prior research experience, yet, theirexpectations of the program and of a research experience may not be consistent with those of thefaculty mentors. While many of the students had a positive experience, more may be needed at thestart of each program to recalibrate the expectations of students and of faculty mentors. While it isstill early to draw strong conclusions, there are early signs that the programs make a positiveimpact on students and faculty mentors.
